TRAINING DELIVERED BY
Workplace Virtuathon supported by Get Event Fit
Company branded and personalised app
Hurry! New Year resolutions start soon!
Your employees will again use New Year to make resolutions to kick-start a more physically active and healthier lifestyle, however, even before the end of January these positive habits will likely be long forgotten. Fortunately, as a responsible employer you have a unique opportunity to improve your employees’ New Year successes by inviting your workforce to participate in your own company Workplace Virtuathon 
to provide the focus, commitment, guidance, support and motivation required for their New Year resolutions to be a success.

The Workplace Wellbeing Charter logo
We've collaborated with Health@Work to align our programme with standards set by the Workplace Wellbeing Charter, the accreditation standard that is built on best practice, the latest research and business sense.

​It's also influenced by
 the suggested Five Ways to Mental Wellbeing set out in the Government's Foresight report by the New Economics Foundation; Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning and Give – a set of evidence-based actions to improve personal wellbeing.
Health@Work are a registered independent charity who have helped organisations of all sizes and sectors across the UK improve health in the workplace for over 26 years. They deliver the Workplace Wellbeing Charter and have accredited over 1,000 companies including Jaguar Landrover and BAE Systems.

Virtuathon programme via Get Event Fit app
Revised programmes now available.
Equivalent in size to an impressive 200+ page book with 60+ educational and advice articles, 25+ healthy eating recipes, 5+ hours of exercise, yoga and meditation videos, plus so much more... all delivered in 'bite-sized' daily snippets over 8 weeks via our mobile app with a fantastic medal as an achievement reward – affordably priced to suit every organisation.

Even invite customers too!

Why not extend your Workplace Virtuathon and invite your customers. We can 'white-label' and co-brand our Beginners Virtual Runathon product and deliver this to your customers at the same time as your Workplace Virtuathon, with incredible potential...

For example, 1,000 participating customers who you could re-engage with for up to eight-weeks throughout their Virtuathon programme, who each fundraised only £50 for your chosen charity, would raise £50,000 !

Use your Workplace Virtuathon as a fundraising initiative and we can donate 10% of the price to your chosen charity. Contact us for details.
“Thank you for your help!!! I found the Get Event Fit app great for me. I am really not a runner and it took me through a very challenging process in a fantastic way. I found the articles very, very helpful and I love the yoga video for runners… I really found it very motivational even when I felt I couldn't run!!”
Strava logo

Connect with colleagues.

In addition to planning, tracking and monitoring Virtuathon training activity, the ability to connect with colleagues in private communities on Strava brings a social element to training for your Workplace Virtuathon – share training tips with colleagues, discover and build new training routes, discuss your progress and even post your times to a shared leaderboard. The Strava app turns every iPhone and Android into a sophisticated running computer to easily plan your route and then track your favourite performance stats.

The benefits of physical activity on mental health.

Evidence shows that being physically active is one of the most effective ways to improve mental wellbeing. Workplace physical activity programmes that foster a happier, healthier and more motivated team, have a positive impact on productivity, increase work attendance, reduce job stress, improve mental wellbeing and pave the way for greater employee retention and engagement.

Workplace Virtuathon – Helping you make a difference

How Virtuathon works.

There are two types of Workplace Virtuathon; Organised (next one in May 2018) and Personalised to your organisation. All Workplace Virtuathon's are 'virtual' challenges so they can be completed at any location – employees can run outside or on a treadmill, individually or with colleagues, they can even walk providing they complete the distance! 

Comprehensive beginners training with integrated employee wellbeing is delivered daily via the Get Event Fit app to educate, inspire and regularly motivate your employees throughout their training journey. They're then rewarded with a Virtuathon® finishers medal for all their hard work.

LEARN HOW IT WORKS

Incredible benefits.

Less active employees often lack confidence in their own physical ability and are therefore unlikely to take part in an organised physical event. Workplace Virtuathon is designed specifically to maximise employee participation, especially beginners and the less active, to benefit your organisation, employees and chosen charities.

Motivated and engaged workforce.

The Government's Department of Health advises that one in four of us will experience mental ill health at some point in our lives. Everyone knows that regular exercise is great for your physical health and fitness, but evidence also shows that being physically active is also one of the most effective ways to improve mental wellbeing.

Workplace physical activity programmes that foster a happier, healthier and more motivated team, have a positive impact on productivity, increase work attendance, reduce job stress and pave the way for greater employee retention and engagement.
