MINNEAPOLIS - March 13, 2020 - PRLog -- The spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) has shut down national events (https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/hospitals-health-systems/other-healthcare-conferences-moving-forward-as-himss-cancelled-due-to), slowed travel (https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/coronavirus-travel-advice/index.html), and caused a growing number of companies to enforce work-from-home (https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/2/26/21153343/coronavirus-covid-19-work-from-home-remote-pandemic) policies until health officials are able to stop the spread of the virus. In addition to impacting workforce productivity and scheduling, coronavirus is making consumers reluctant (https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2020/03/03/coronavirus-sparks-concern-gym-fitness-apps-solution/4940834002/) to hit the gym. To support employers in their efforts to maintain employee health and well-being during this time, Wellbeats announced today that the company will offer its on-demand, virtual fitness subscriptions free of charge to U.S. employers through April 30, 2020. This offer is effective immediately.

According to president and CEO Jason Von Bank, Wellbeats is offering its full library of more than 500 on-demand fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness classes to employers who want to ensure employees can maintain fitness and well-being routines while working from home. The offer is available to employers in the United States who do not currently contract with Wellbeats.

"Staying fit and eating well boosts (https://www.inquirer.com/health/wellness/fight-off-flu-pr...) the body's immune system, while exercise is a great way to manage stress during challenging times such as this," said Von Bank. "By making Wellbeats' fitness and nutrition content available for free, we hope to improve broader workplace health and support the efforts of employers across the country as they strive to maintain normal business operations during this public health crisis."

Employers who want to take advantage of this offer should email media@wellbeats.com for more information and a registration code. Employees can then access the fitness content via Windows, iOS, or Android devices to stream classes from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Wellbeats has also developed marketing tools that human resource teams can use to promote the content.
