We work with companies of all types and sizes, including Ford, Natural England, Tesco, Daiwa and Redbridge PCT.
As part of Tesco's Fitbug programme, Fitbug continues to provide power walks for Tesco employees at their Shettleston, Glasgow store to promote the benefits of exercise. In the past month (June 2008), Fitbug provided
on-site nutrition seminars aimed at engaging and educating staff about healthy eating habits.
During August Bupa is introducing Fitbug to its largest London health assessment centre to help customers make positive lifestyle changes where an assessment
shows that changes in activity and nutrition would be beneficial.
Redbridge PCT approached Fitbug in Autumn 2007 after a search for Employee
Wellbeing partners, with a pilot scheme launching in February 2008. The pilot
has succeeded in encouraging PCT staff to lead more healthy and active
lifestyles. Not only has the pilot scheme been extended to additional
employees, but Redbridge GPs and medical staff have begun referring patients to
Fitbug's consumer scheme as well.
In September 2008, Fitbug is set to launch a nationwide walking competition among its PruHealth PruProtect members.
