- Putting the peer into fitness for positive reinforcement and encouragement
- How can we get people to take care of themselves and to stick with the process long term?
- No more HR emails, a cleanly designed, user-friendly Peerfit interface to sign up for classes with local fitness providers
- What gets measured tends to improve
- "Giving somebody flexible fitness by itself isn’t all that novel or innovative, but connecting them with their peers, with universal access — that’s a winning combination"
- “People are willing to step outside of their comfort zones if their friends and coworkers are going to be there to do it with them”
- “If you can be an inspiring teammate to others, they’re going to want to stay. They’re going to want to bring their A game and their best energy.”
- The Next Challenge: America’s Seniors
- Research shows seniors who exercise live longer and enjoy better mental and physical health overall
- As Peerfit expands, it will continue to celebrate connection, collaboration and mutual inspiration
