Teamwork, Competition, Healthy Tools.

Shape Up The Nation is a team-based exercise, weight loss, and walking competition for employees of all fitness levels. In our evidence–based healthy lifestyle competition, teams of employees compete in a group effort to increase physical activity and lose weight.

The power of our model lies in its ability to bring employees together, as a team, to pursue the common goal of healthier living. In Shape Up The Nation, participants will work together, supporting and motivating each other, as they set goals and work hard to achieve them. We offer several options for participation, including tracking of weight loss, exercise hours, and pedometer steps. This ensures that there is something appealing for employees of all fitness levels and that participants are focusing on comprehensive lifestyle change.

Clinical studies continue to show that team-based health competitions generate impressive results.Team members provide valuable support and friendly competition provides the extra motivation that employees need to succeed in the challenging task of improving their lifestyle. Our team–based wellness model has been further supported by recent studies showing that our weight is highly influenced by the weight of our peers. Individuals are more likely to lose weight when their friends and colleagues do too.
