WellWorks 100

Ohio University recognizes the numerous benefits of exercise and wants to reward and encourage employees who are physically active. This incentive is another step in our goal to create a culture of wellness at Ohio University. 

Participation is limited to WellWorks members who are benefits-eligible Ohio University employees and/or their spouses or domestic partners. Note: You do not need to enrolled in benefits; merely eligible to enroll.

Each eligible individual would earn a $100 credit towards their next Individual Annual Facility Membership. 

No registration is required. Though, it is important to make sure your member profile in our Member Portal identifies you as either a University Employee or a Spouse/Partner. WellWorks will run a report of members who are listed as "employee" or "spouse/partner" in their member profile and then Human Resources will verify eligibility. If your member profile does not classify you as one of the above, we will not include you in the program. 

Membership is required; a yearly membership is preferred. (See direct debit options to pay for a year on a monthly basis.) You can become a member at any time and begin working toward 100 days of visits within the fiscal year. 

Visits count for physical activity in the WellWorks fitness center or a WellWorks group exercise class. Please note that pre-registration is required for classes.

At this time, you must check-in at one of our pre-approved locations for your movement to count as a visit. This includes checking in: at our front desk for the Fitness Center, or within a group exercise class. 
Please note that activities outside of WellWorks (e.g., walking, running elsewhere) do not count.

We'll keep track of them for you! You can also use one of our handy paper tracking slips for a simple way to keep track of it yourself.

Visits are counted via the check-in system at the WellWorks front desk or via the iPad system for group exercise classes.

NOTE: if you check in at the front desk AND sign in at a group exercise class, it will flag as a double-entry for that day—but, be advised that only ONE visit per day counts toward the goal of 100 visits.

The front desk staff can check the status of your visits at any time, however the “official” number (double entries removed) of visits is run on a monthly administrative report and your eligibility must be verified with HR.

Only one visit to WellWorks per day will count toward your WellWorks 100 count. Though, members are welcome to visit the facility as frequently as their wellness journeys allow.

Yes! WellWorks will check the visit status for participants during the first week of every month. You will be notified via email when you reach 100 visits and eligibility is confirmed with Human Resources. Please make sure your current email address is on file in your member profile so you receive our alerts. 

Your $100 credit will be tacked onto your current account. 

Please note: If you participate in our Evergreen Direct Debit program, you can receive your $100 credit as soon as you receive your official notification from WellWorks, but you will need to notify WellWorks to stop your direct debit payments per the contract policy. 

If you do not achieve it in that time, you can add a month or longer onto your membership and keep trying for the 100 days. 

No, only ONE $100 credit will be awarded within a fiscal year. 

Yes, this is a taxable benefit for the year in which the membership is received. The  paycheck of the benefits-carrier will be taxed during the pay period in which the benefit is fulfilled.
