It’s time for a new wellness challenge!

As a Welia Health employee, you have free access through the end of the year to Wellbeats – the same virtual fitness program used in the Wellness Center. 

Let’s take advantage and join a fitness challenge together!

There are two programs to choose from for this challenge, both four weeks in length and no equipment needed: Move with Heart and Work(out) From Home.

Move with a Heart is a 4-week challenge to get you moving with a variety of cardio, strength training, and yoga classes. 3 classes are scheduled weekly and all just 30 minutes or less.

Work(out) from Home is designed for limited time and space. For 5 days each week, our team of certified, virtual instructors will guide you through a combination of cardio and HIIT workouts to elevate your heart rate, boost energy, and decrease stress.

Want to join? Here’s what to do:

1. Create a Wellbeats account (if you haven’t already)
