The award will be presented to FitLinxx on March 28 in New Haven, Connecticut.
“We are honored to receive this award”
The selection was made based upon the company’s history of innovation and products that have made a difference in people’s lives.
“We are honored to receive this award,” said FitLinxx CEO Dave Monahan. “Beyond helping companies reduce their healthcare costs with our wellness devices and applications, we are proud to be part of our partners’ wellness programs that have helped so many employees improve their health over the years. At the same time, our fitness devices and applications have enabled fitness facilities to connect with their members, while providing members with the support and motivation critical for developing positive exercise habits.”
FitLinxx offers innovative health and wellness technology. Its latest activity device for the wellness market is the Pebble®, a simple, natural device that clips to an individual’s shoe, belt, waistband, pocket or bra, blending seamlessly into daily life. The waterproof device automatically tracks the number of steps taken, calories burned, distance traveled and total activity time throughout the day, and works across multiple activity types, including walking, running, elliptical training and biking. The Pebble provides instant feedback at a glance on the device, showing progress that an individual has made toward his/her daily activity goal, as well as data sync status and remaining battery life.
FitLinxx’s fitness product is FitLinxx Professional, which offers fitness facilities a computerized exercise tracking system that attaches directly to fitness equipment, adding an intelligent dimension to the workout experience.
