WW Launches WellnessWins(TM) Member Rewards Program To Inspire Healthy Habits
NEW YORK, Oct. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, WW (NYSE: WTW) launches WellnessWins(TM), an innovative rewards program that recognizes members for everyday behaviors that are proven to lead to healthier habits. Members will earn "Wins" for tracking meals, activity and weight, as well as for attending WW Wellness Workshops. Wins can be redeemed for a range of products, services and experiences designed to inspire members on their wellness journeys - from custom WW products available exclusively for members to special offerings and experiences curated through new partnerships with imaginative companies such as ClassPass, Rent the Runway and Thrive Market.
"As WW moves beyond weight to wellness and continues to innovate as a technology experience company, we want to enhance our digital experience in ways that are meaningful to people's lives," said Mindy Grossman, President and CEO, WW. "The new WellnessWins rewards program is a prime example of how we are meeting people at every step of their wellness journey, uniquely rewarding members for building healthy habits and unleashing a suite of new experiences, products and services that will help motivate them along the way."
"WellnessWins is reimagining the traditional idea of a rewards program, one that focuses on behaviors that lead to success rather than transactions that lead to revenue," said Gary Foster, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, WW. "Our years of behavior change experience have revealed the importance of consistent inspiration in building healthy habits, and there is power and significance in small, everyday behaviors on long-term change. In fact, results from a WellnessWins pilot program showed increased engagement and satisfaction among members."
Rewarding Members for Building Healthy Habits
With WellnessWins, simple but crucial steps that lead to healthier habits become Wins, which can be redeemed for Rewards.

earned in a day, a week, or overall in the Wins Dashboard in the WW app
