Our partnership with KrowdFit optimizes the health savings account (HSA) into an all-encompassing solution that benefits every employee,” said Kelly Hockett, benefits product manager at WEX.

BEND, Ore. (PRWEB)
January 26, 2021

KrowdFit, the largest cash-back wellness incentive program in the U.S. and Canada, today announced that its proven enterprise wellness rewards program has launched a wellness add-on to benefit plans powered by WEX, designed to tie employer HSA contributions to employees achieving daily health goals.

Employers using WEX’s benefit administration services for their HSA can purchase an integrated KrowdFit wellness solution that allows them to customize employer contributions by selecting contribution levels and daily health goals, e.g., $1/day for 10,000 steps, $2/day for 30 minutes of physical activity, and $1/day for 7 hours of sleep for a total daily earned contribution of $4. All employee activity and efforts are objectively captured and verified through KrowdFit’s integrations with all leading wearables, fitness and sleep apps.

“Wellness solutions are not a one-size-fits-all benefit, and promoting wellness in a way that benefits everyone – not just the office athlete – can be difficult. Our partnership with KrowdFit optimizes the health savings account (HSA) into an all-encompassing solution that benefits every employee,” said Kelly Hockett, benefits product manager at WEX.

In addition to earning HSA contributions, all employees, regardless if they have an HSA or not, are automatically eligible to participate in KrowdFit’s cash-back wellness rewards program. KrowdFit is the only wellness incentive program to pay out cash rewards from its unlimited cash rewards pool. The rewards pool increases as new members join, allowing KrowdFit to pay out more people every week. There is no limit to how much cash members can win. In fact, members can win KrowdFit’s rewards over and over again; they just can’t win the same reward in back-to-back periods.

KrowdFit member’s sleep, steps, mindfulness and fitness activities are automatically logged into the KrowdFit app. Each time an activity is logged, members automatically earn an entry into one of five different cash giveaways, making them eligible to receive weekly, monthly, and quarterly cash incentives of up to $5,000 or more per winner.

KrowdFit winners are randomly selected via computer, and rewards are not based on activity results or performance, allowing KrowdFit to create an inclusive wellness program that levels the playing field between the athlete and the non-athlete.

• 
  $600 Bi-Monthly Mindfulness Cash Giveaway: Six winners are selected twice a month to split a $300 cash prize at $50 each. Members can earn one entry per five minutes of mindfulness, with a maximum of two entries per day.
• $1,500 Weekly Meal Logging Cash Giveaway: Twelve winners are selected weekly to split a $1,500 cash prize at $125 each. Members can earn one entry per meal logged, with a maximum of five entries per day.
• $2,000 Monthly Sleep Cash Giveaway: Eight winners are selected monthly to split a $2,000 cash prize at $250 each. Members can earn up to three entries per day for eight hours of sleep.
• $5,000 Quarterly Steps Cash Giveaway: Two winners are selected quarterly to split a $5,000 cash prize at $2,500 each. Members can earn one entry for 5,000 steps or four entries per day.
• $20,000 Quarterly Physical Activity Giveaway: Four winners are selected quarterly to split a $20,000 cash prize at $5,000 each. Members can earn one entry for 30 minutes of activity or a maximum of four entries per day.

“KrowdFit was founded on research and proven science that shows monetary incentives, coupled with social reinforcement, help people more easily achieve their fitness and wellness goals,” said Jim Miller, CEO and founder of KrowdFit. “We know change isn’t possible overnight, but we’re committed to encouraging, recognizing, and rewarding our members knowing that if they consistently put forth the effort, the results will follow.”    

KrowdFit has paid out more than $2 million in cash-back rewards through its wellness platform, with the average member winning $450 a year. The platform has also driven a 72% sustained engagement rate for 97% of its active member population, with 62% of active members reporting walking and moving more, 67% reporting improved eating and sleeping habits, and 53% reporting weight loss. KrowdFit is a Solution Provider partner that offers their solutions within the WEX partner ecosystem.

MassageLuXe, a fast-growing luxury spa franchise, congratulates Steve and Margo Allison on another spa location in Lake St. Louis, Missouri. The newest spa is located at 6105 Ronald Reagan Drive and is slated to be open to the public in early February. In total, the brand has 69 locations nationwide.

This is Steve and Margo’s sixth store location — they’ve been with the brand since 2010. Previously, Margo worked in the health and beauty industry for several years, and Steve owned multiple businesses. Together, they decided to combine their strengths and open a MassageLuXe franchise, suiting both of their passions.

“We liked the idea of owning a business that helps people look and feel their best,” said Margo. “The great thing about the MassageLuXe model is that people can’t believe how affordable the services are considering how great of an experience they have.”

In fact, the Allisons liked the idea so much, they’re actually Area Developers for the brand. The same way an HR rep may recruit a great candidate for a job, the Allisons are looking to recruit enthusiastic entrepreneurs to join their area. Currently, they’re looking to open three new locations in the Jefferson City and Springfield markets. The goal is to have these three new locations open in the next 24 months.

“This market has been good to us,” says Margo. “It’s a great opportunity for those who are looking to start their own business with the benefit of having great support and training. We’re excited to bring our services to more people in the central and southwest areas of Missouri.”

According to MassageLuXe CEO Mark Otter, the company has a goal to reach 250 locations in the next five years. “We’re thrilled to see Steve and Margo continue to develop in Missouri,” said Otter. “We knew when we met them that they’d be a great fit for MassageLuXe – I look forward to watching their continued success.”

MassageLuXe’s mission is “to deliver the highest quality massage, facial and waxing services in an environment that is both luxurious and relaxing to all of the guests.” With the brand’s unrivaled franchisee support and training, and continued expansion across the country, this mission is achievable for any entrepreneurial spirit looking for their next endeavor.

The new MassageLuXe spa is located at 6105 Ronald Reagan Drive in Lake St. Louis, and is set to open in early February.

After winning over peanut butter lovers with their smooth, better-for-you, protein-packed nut butters, culinary pioneer PB2 Foods has gone boldly where no brand has before: Creating the first crunchy powdered peanut butter.

Plant-based, gluten free, and sourced from only the highest quality peanuts, PB2’s new offering has all the flavor of classic peanut butter with 85% fewer calories, 5 hefty grams of plant-based protein, and a satisfying, guilt-free crunch.

“There is deep nostalgia for the crunchy peanut butter of our youth, but the sugar and calories in typical store brands make it a no-go for anyone who wants to keep things on the healthy side” said Craig Entwistle, CEO of PB2 Foods. “We knew it wouldn’t be easy to craft a peanut butter that combined flavor, texture AND health benefits, but we couldn’t wait to take up the challenge. Now it’s here!”

PB2’s crunchy powdered peanut butter is also certified kosher and vegan, and non-GMO project verified, so it checks all the boxes for people who face dietary, ethical, religious, and other restrictions. And as the latest member of the PB2 Foods family, it will sit side by side with the company’s line of powdered peanut and almond butter offerings.

“Every time we create a new product, we strive for balance between flavor and health benefits. We love simple, plant-based nut butters that not only stand on their own as a snack, but add a burst of flavor to a sandwich or smoothie,” Entwistle said. “It wasn’t easy, but we kept this new crunchy version under wraps until it was absolutely perfect. Now we can’t wait to share it with the world.”

PB2’s line of nut butters are available at almost all grocery stores nationwide and online at the company’s website, pb2foods.com, and Amazon.

To keep up with PB2 Foods on social media, follow along the company on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.
