35 Google Fitbit Testimonials

“Fitbit Corporate Challenges helped enhance our employee experience by offering the latest wearable technology and allowing us to bring multiple office locations together. For the first time, we were able to engage friends and family in our program—and also make a difference in the health of our communities where we live and work."

“I’ve had a Fitbit since our walking pilot program started a few years ago. I especially like the challenge feature in the Fitbit app—it’s a fun way to keep us all moving and working to have more steps. Now I’m even challenging my building mates to get on the treadmills and keep up their steps, too!”

"The CiscoACTIVE challenge powered by Fitbit was an amazing program to be part of and I loved hearing all the positive comments from our employees. Seeing employees who did not traditionally engage in physical activity become involved in team and individual fitness challenges was the ultimate outcome. Along with that, we created a very strong health and wellness culture across the company, and had a great deal of fun."

"With a workforce that is primarily made up of millennials, we’ve learned how to be creative when it comes to engaging our staff during activity challenges. Over the last year, we have seen our medical claims decrease by double digits. Our increased focus on activity tracking using Fitbit devices has had an immense impact on that number. We’ve witnessed first-hand how using Fitbit activity trackers can change lives at any stage. I’m looking forward to seeing how much improvement we make in year two!"

"Without my Fitbit device, I don’t know if I would have made my health a priority—I would have just felt bad about myself. Instead of finding something to blame, I could finally take control. My Fitbit device has lead me to become a much happier and healthier mother and employee."

“We developed our first walking challenge in 2008 and began incorporating Fitbit devices in 2013. The challenge had become so popular that we needed a way to effectively and efficiently track the activity of all our participants since we had outgrown the ‘honor system’ of self-reporting. Since we added Fitbit, we have seen a 58% increase in participation compared to our previous walking challenge. Our employees love the program and their Fitbit devices.”

“Our association with Fitbit will enable us to turn a traditional financial product into an engaging lifestyle product by gamifying the individual wellness journey. By incentivizing our customers to care for themselves, and rewarding them financially, we expect to change the way customers perceive insurance. Our aim is to become their everyday health companions and remind them of the benefits of staying healthy.”

“I am 59 and I want to be healthier and stronger so that when I do retire with my beloved we can have a lot of good years fishing, camping and enjoying our grandkids not sitting in a line at the doctor’s office. I want to get in an exercise program I can stick with and this Fitbit will hold me accountable. Thank you for this opportunity to improve our lives and be healthier.”

"Our wellness program has morphed from a feel-good idea to a critical component of our business strategy for improving health and controlling costs. We can’t afford to NOT have wellness at RTA.”

"The Fitbit makes me feel more accountable and gives me a goal to work towards so I don’t have to guess how much activity I have done for the day.”

“You can prevent many chronic conditions by addressing their root cause: daily habits. About 80% of chronic diseases are driven by lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise."

“Health is a precious commodity. You realize that all the more if you are struck down by an illness. If you can prevent it or catch it in time so that it can be treated, you have gained a great deal. Digital tools and technologies like those provided by Google Cloud and Fitbit open up a world of possibilities for healthcare and a new era of even more accessible medicine is possible.”

"As an employer, anything we can do to help employees stay healthy is a win for everyone. It means they are more productive employees—more engaged with their teammates and our clients—and it means they are better able to take part in all the things that are important to them outside of work. And, if we can make it fun through some friendly competition that’s even better!"

"The Who’s the Boss challenge really pushed me and it felt great! I got my most steps ever that week. I even got my family walking with me for that challenge!"

“The high engagement rate observed is a testament to the fact that SEIU775 Benefits Group was able to test the feasibility of a pilot program that caregivers wanted—a holistic program that addressed physical activity, nutrition, sleep, stress management etc.—all critical components to chronic disease management and prevention. The high engagement is also an indicator of Fitbit’s coaches, who actively reached out and motivated the caregivers. Several caregivers noted how they appreciate knowing there is someone to help them move through the barriers."
