In honour of #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth this October we're championing our inspiring members who've been affected by breast cancer, and the positive impact fitness has had during their recovery. WithU app member Alicja was diagnosed with oestrogen receptive breast cancer, the disease which took her mum's life, in June 2020 just three months after giving birth to her second child. After months of treatment, she was given the all clear in early 2021 and began running as a way to reconnect with her body and regain her fitness levels. She soon realised running was so much more than just a physical activity, giving her focus and much needed relief from stress. In the four years since being given the all clear, Alicja has not only become a keen parkrun participant, but has also run the London Marathon, and kickstarted a local women's run club in her home town – using WithU to support her training. We couldn't be prouder to support Alicja in on her fitness journey, an inspiration for the transformative power of movement. We're committed to supporting those affected by cancer and have recently partnered with MOVE Against Cancer Charity to provide online programme participants complimentary access to our award-winning fitness app. The bespoke collection of on-demand workouts and wellness sessions has been specifically tailored to the MOVE Against Cancer community, and features audio-guided stretching, Pilates, walking and mindfulness sessions. #BreastCancerAwareness #Partnership #Wellness

We’ve recently expanded our loyalty partnership with Visa to the Central Europe, Middle East and Africa region (CEMEA). This marks an expansion of our existing partnership, having successfully launched in the Latin America and Caribbean region (LAC) in December 2023 with a cardholder loyalty promotion. Under the partnership, Visa card issuers can choose to grant eligible cardholders free access to our on-demand workouts and wellness sessions on the WithU app, led by our world-class coaches – with this week marking the first consumer launch. The partnership will contribute towards Visa achieving top-of-wallet status, ensuring their card is the preferred choice for spending by offering a loyalty reward for their cardholders that is not only premium, but champions wellbeing and empowers consumers to make healthy lifestyle choices. Steve Clarke, co-founder and CEO of WithU says, “Visa is not only a global innovator in the digital payments technology space, but one that truly understands the customer and business benefits of making high-quality fitness more accessible. This alignment of core values makes supporting Visa in the delivery of its global loyalty program an exciting and natural step for WithU, as we continue to drive industry innovation to support people to prioritise their wellbeing on a global scale.”

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay today, which means our annual WithU Relay is in full swing! From 5.30am to 9pm this evening, members of our team are creating a chain of movement, taking on a 30 minute workout (rain or shine, well done Jack McDonnell 👏), then passing the baton onto the next person. We know that physical activity plays a significant role in supporting mental health, with research underscoring the importance exercise has specifically on employee wellbeing. Moderate physical activity has been shown to significantly lower emotional exhaustion, as well as foster a greater sense of personal achievement in the workplace – both of which leading to a happier and more productive workforce. Let’s hear it for our brilliant WithU relay team – and if you’re looking to empower your own team drop us a message, we’d love to hear from you. #WorkplaceWellness #MentalHealth #TeamCulture

Happy 20th birthday parkrun, we hope this year is your personal best! 🎈 Back in 2022 we partnered with parkrun as their exclusive digital fitness partner, inspired by our joint commitment to making fitness accessible to all.

💜 480 people die of heart-related disease everyday in the UK 💜 7.6 million people in the UK are currently living with heart and circulatory diseases 💜 50% of people in the UK will get a heart or circulatory condition in their lifetime With stats like this, it's never been more important to open the conversation around heart health to champion World Heart Day this weekend (29 Sept). Exercise has many direct and indirect benefits on heart health, improving its ability to function whilst both exercising and resting. Other benefits include improving the function of blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, boosting metabolism, and improving insulin sensitivity – all of which help lower the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Heart rate training is an excellent method for improving cardiovascular health, with guidelines suggesting we should aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise each week (just over 20 minutes per day). Across all of our products, we've designed collections and programmes to help members reach this goal in an accessible and achievable way. Our Heart Rate Zone Guidance feature on Mvmnt helps our members reach the ideal heart rate, measured in beats per minute, to achieve the right physiological benefits during their workouts. "If you're taking part in light activity (such as walking) you'll be in Zone 1. Training in this zone will help you exercise for longer overtime without that 'burning' feeling. You should be able to train in Zone 2 for a sustained period of time, for example a 30 minute jog. Training in this zone will improve stamina, recovery time and reduce risk of injury. You're more likely to feel the 'burn' when you train in Zone 3 but it's sustainable, whereas in Zone 4 this will intensify and it will be difficult to stay in this zone. You'll see improvements to muscle strength, power and speed. And finally, Zone 5 is where you're pushing yourself to your absolute limit, for a few minutes only. Training in this zone will improve your performance in high intensity workouts" – Brieuc PANHELLEUX, PhD, Innovation Manager #WorldHeartDay
