Overview

Our goal is to help your employees have a healthier, more active lifestyle. The direct benefit of this for you is a more productive workforce, lower absenteeism, and lower health costs. And it doesn’t take much. For example, research shows that reducing an obese employee’s weight by as little as 5-10% will normalize his or her blood pressure, which significantly lowers the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, very expensive medical conditions for employers.

Obesity is now the leading preventable cause of death in the United States. We hope you’ll help us change that statistic, at least within your organization. Read on to see what Scale Down Challenge can do for you.

Scale Down Challenge will:

• Deliver Results
  • Behavioral research shows that potential financial incentives improve the results of those trying to lose weight
  • Previous Scale Down Challenge participants lost an average of 19 pounds each
• Save Time (over 100 hours per tournament!)
  • Our turn-key software provides rules, the administration portal, processes payments, gives participants access to the standings, and calculates and distributes the participant prize pool
  • Our software is web-based, so there is no software to install and nothing to setup—all you need is a web browser and the rest is done for you
  • All you have to do is enter the participant weights each week!
• Save Money (as much as $450 per employee, per year)
  • While many corporate wellness vendor programs cost tens of thousands of dollars, Scale Down Challenge weight loss tournaments are primarily funded by the tournament participants (your employees)
  • Studies have shown that moderately active (exercising 1-2 times/week) and active (3+ times/week) obese employees had approximately $450 less paid health care costs annually than sedentary obese employees. Scale Down Challenge works for you by helping your employees stay physically active and engaged!
• Manufacture Motivation
  • Not only has research proven the effectiveness of incentive-based weight loss programs, the fun tournament format keeps employees engaged and motivated for the duration our 8- to 12-week programs
  • We have a proven track record of keeping participants motivated, as evidenced by an average of 19 pounds lost per participant in previous 10-week Scale Down Challenge weight loss tournaments
• Ensure Healthy Weight Loss
  • Our software makes sure that no employee is losing weight too fast, which helps ensure that no one is taking drastic measures to lose weight
  • The tested Scale Down Challenge rule set is provided to make sure weight loss is safe, effective, and sustainable.
  • We encourage active lifestyles (more walking, take the stairs), and healthy eating (more vegetables!) over crash dieting and other weight loss fads
