The Biggest Loser Contest: Company Uses Health and Wellness to Boost Productivity

Lindon, Utah- For Every Body, a Lindon-based candle and air freshener manufacturer, has joined a growing number of U.S. corporations who are using corporate health and wellness programs as incentives for workers to improve their health and boost employee productivity.

“We feel great,” product developer Sue Radi said. “When you feel good about yourself, it’s a lot easier to come to work and do your job.”

In May, the company wrapped up its own version of NBC’s fitness reality TV show, The Biggest Loser. Nearly 40 For Every Body employees signed up to participate in the intra-office challenge to shed the most pounds. Participants weighed in on the first and last day of the contest, but many weighed in more frequently to track their progress.

“The Biggest Loser contest was a lot of fun,” Justin Hayes, an engineer who lost 40 pounds in the four- month contest, said. “Everybody came together as one big team, motivating each other to exercise, eat healthy, and loose weight.”

For Every Body has a budding list of health initiatives they have begun over the past few years. Most recently, the Walking Club gets people outside the office on their lunch hour to exercise. Participants say the short walk with their co-workers helps to break up the workday and refocus for the afternoon.

This year, the company joined Draper City’s initiative to get residents to be more healthy and active. For Every Body handed out free pedometers and encouraged employees to walk at least 10, 000 steps every day. The company also participated in Weight Watcher’s “At Work” program, helping employees who want to get healthy by paying half of the costs associated with the 12-week program.

“Healthy employees means great benefits for us down the road,” Cory Robison, HR director said. “These wellness initiatives are a small price to pay to for what we get in return as a company.”

Pedometer $98.77 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A pedometer or step counter is a device, in modern times usually portable and electronic or electromechanical, that counts each step a person takes by detecting the motion of the persons hips. Because the distance of each persons step varies, an informal calibration performed by the user is required if a standardized distance (such as in kilometres or miles) is desired. Used originally by sports and physical fitness enthusiasts, pedometers are now becoming popular as an everyday exercise measurer and motivator. Often worn on the belt and kept on all day, it can record how many steps the wearer has walked that day, and thus the kilometres or miles (distance = number of steps x step length). Some pedometers will also erroneously record movements other than walking, such as bending to tie ones shoes, or road bumps incurred while riding a vehicle, though the most advanced devices record fewer of these false steps. Step counters can give encouragement to compete with oneself in getting fit and losing weight.
