Client Overview

In 2017, this family-owned grocery wholesaler and retailer headquartered in the South partnered with FitOn Health (formerly known as Peerfit) to launch a workplace wellness program. Today the company employs tens of thousands of employees across southeastern United States. It runs full-service wholesale distribution and operates hundreds of full-service retail stores. Its workforce includes corporate staff, distribution center teams, drivers and store associates. Many of them are hourly, desk-less employees who work varied shifts in many locations.

The company sees its employees as the cornerstone of its business and wanted to support their health and well-being. Traditional wellness perks like a local gym discount and gift cards weren’t driving the participation it wanted. The team needed a program employees would enjoy and come back to. It also had to work for a widely distributed workforce, from store associates on rotating shifts to drivers and warehouse teams who rarely sit at a desk. The goal was to give every employee convenient, flexible ways to stay active, wherever and whenever they work.

The company partnered with Peerfit (now FitOn Health) to give employees a wellness benefit built around choice, convenience and fun. It didn’t rely on a one-size-fits-all perk.

  • Fitness that fits any schedule. Employees can book classes at local studios and gyms near home or work, from boot camp to yoga. They can also use a library of digital fitness classes from anywhere, whether that’s before an early morning store shift, after a delivery route or on a lunch break.
  • Built for a distributed workforce. Corporate staff, distribution center teams, drivers and store associates in multiple states all get the same access. Nobody’s participation depends on living near one designated gym.
  • Challenges and accountability. FitOn challenges provide the opportunity for employees to participate and set individual goals.
  • A program that evolved with employees. As expectations shifted toward digital, the program grew from a studio-based model into a full digital and in-person experience.

"We have truly enjoyed not only the FitOn platform, but also the incredible team behind it. As a Benefits Administrator, one of my favorite things about FitOn is how genuinely invested their own team is in the product. You can see their passion in the consistent updates, communications, new resources, and improvements they continue to roll out. FitOn has become a resource we are proud to offer our team members, and we are excited to continue growing our partnership. They have made wellness more accessible, engaging, and enjoyable for our club, and we could not be happier with the experience."
