WellWorks to host Employee Free Week Oct. 13-19

Current Ohio University employees are encouraged to take advantage of a one-week free membership at WellWorks during the week of Oct. 13-19.

WellWorks is a fully equipped fitness center with group fitness and personal training offerings for all fitness levels. Membership is open to faculty, staff, community members and graduate students.  

Employee Free Week is offered as an opportunity for non-member employees to experience the WellWorks facilities, classes and online offerings. Additionally, it’s an excellent time to learn about some of the other, non-member offerings at the wellness center including massage, reiki and nutrition counseling.

The student employees at WellWorks will provide free 30-minute Intro to the Fitness Center Workshops during Free Week. At each session, a personal trainer will share information about equipment cleanliness, how to turn on and utilize cardio equipment and how to use select strength equipment. In addition, the students will remain available to answer additional WellWorks questions.

These workshops will take place on Sunday, Oct. 13 (2 p.m.), Monday, Oct. 14 (7 a.m.) and Thursday, Oct. 17 (5:30 p.m.).  Registration is limited to individuals utilizing the 1-Week Free Trial membership. You can register for the workshops here.

Benefits-eligible prospective members are reminded of the 100 Day Challenge, which is a member benefit sponsored by Ohio University Human Resources. Members who check in at WellWorks for 100 days in a single rolling calendar year can receive next year’s membership for free. Please note, the 100 Day Challenge is a taxable benefit for benefits-eligible employees and their spouses/partners.

WellWorks offers both in-person and virtual wellbeing offerings to members, making this deal valid for employees on all campuses and for those who work remote.
