Welcome to The Myers Group Wellness Program!

Our new continuous wellness program will provide you an opportunity to receive rewards (Myers Group Gift Cards, Amazfit Fitness Tracker) all year long for improving your well-being! You can now earn Wellable Points for learning about and engaging in behaviors associated with a monthly wellness topic, tracking your physical activity, logging meals, and setting and sharing personal goals. You can learn more about Healthy Aging, [CurrentMonth]’s health topic, and how Wellable Points can be earned in the Special Activities section below. For the month of June, you can also earn points simply by meeting your daily fluid needs and sending a photo of you engaged in any form of physical activity.  

You will accumulate your points in these two months and be placed into a Points Tier according to the graphic below. This will determine the reward (Myers Group gift card) you will receive in August for all your hard work toward being healthy! The program is ongoing so there is no limit to how many points and rewards you can earn.

We are also providing the option of earning an Amazfit Band 7 fitness tracker instead of a Tier 2 or Tier 3 gift card. The Amazfit tracker will sync with your iPhone or Android phones to track your steps and workouts, measure your heart rate, stress levels, and sleep quality. These phones can then be synced to Wellable to earn Wellable points. If you reach Tier 2 or 3 at the end of July (at least 12,000 points), simply send an email to Katy at katy@myersgroupllc.com by August 7th to let her know that you would prefer to receive the tracker instead. One tracker per person will be allowed. All rewards will be sent to you at your store. 

Just by averaging 2,000 steps per day, you will be on track to reach Tier 1. If you add meal logging, you will reach Tier 2. The rewards really add up. For example, if you reach Tier 2 every month for a year, you will earn $240! You will have until end of day July 1st to log all your June physical activities that will count toward your tier and associated reward. The Special Activities need to be logged by the end of August.

Blue Zones® are places around the world where people live significantly longer, healthier lives than global averages. These regions, which include Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Loma Linda, California; and Ikaria, Greece, share common lifestyle factors that contribute to their longevity. By prioritizing your health, you can encourage aging that allows you to maintain your independence, quality of life, and sense of purpose well into your later years!

To get started, learn about healthy aging by debunking myths and discovering facts about the aging process. Then, explore Healthy Aging Activities you can engage in to promote longevity and protect physical and mental health. You will earn 50 Wellable Points each day you engage in a Healthy Aging Activity during [CurrentMonth]. To earn Wellable Points, you need to log the completion of this activity via the Special Activity feature on your Dashboard. Please note that this daily activity should ONLY be logged for the current month. Any daily healthy aging activities logged for the month of June will be deleted at the end of this period.

Centenarians are people who live to one hundred or more years old...and there is much wisdom to learn from them! Discover fascinating facts about the world’s longest-lived people and earn an additional 300 Wellable Points by completing a three-question Healthy Aging Trivia. If you want to assess how healthy you are physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, environmentally, and existentially, take this Deep Health Assessment!

You can also earn 400 Wellable Points by sending Katy (katy@myersgroupllc.com) a photo of yourself engaged in a healthy aging activity! Examples include going for a hike, gardening, cooking a healthy meal (or just the meal itself), volunteering, or spending time with friends or family. It can be anything that brings you joy, comfort, or increases your sense of vitality. 

Being physically active on a regular basis helps increase longevity. Check out the list of gyms near your store that offer discounted gym memberships.

And, if you are interested in receiving nutrition and fitness guidance, sign up for a free Jumpstart 8-Week Nutrition & Fitness Coaching Program that focuses on changing one habit at a time to achieve your health goals. 

 Setting a SMART Goal:

Regardless of this month's wellness topic, you may have your own personal health goals that you would like to achieve. We define "Health" broadly so your goal might be to save money to increase your financial health or nurture your relationships to increase your social wellbeing. Whatever your goals are, research shows that you are much more likely to be successful when they are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely. We call these SMART goals. You can learn about S.M.A.R.T. goals and how they increase your focus and commitment. Create a S.M.A.R.T. goal to work towards in this S.M.A.R.T. Goal Worksheet. Ask your Wellness Ambassador or Manager for a printed copy of this sheet. 

You can earn 500 Wellable Points by emailing a photo of your filled out goal worksheet to Katy (katy@myersgroupllc.com) and you can do this every month! You will receive a Verification Code to input and receive your points. To do this, visit your Dashboard, select "SMART Goal" in the Special Activity drop-down, and enter the Verification Code. You can create as many personal goals as you would like but you will only receive Wellable Points for sending your worksheet once a month. We advise that you focus on achieving just one meaningful goal before moving on to the next one as this greatly increases your odds for success! If you are looking for inspiration, visit Myers Group Wellness to explore a broad range of health topics. 

Do you know a Health Hero?

Every month, a Myers Group Health Hero, nominated by a store director, will be selected and showcased on this Bulletin Board. A Health Hero is a courageous employee who has achieved a significant wellness goal through dedication and hard work. For example, a Hero might be someone who has found purpose in supporting her community, or someone who achieved their goal to lose substantial weight, or someone who met their financial stability goal, or someone who has reversed a chronic condition through diet and exercise. Health Heroes will earn a $40 Myers Group gift card, a special custom designed pin, and a framed Certificate of Achievement that will be displayed all month long at the store. If you are interested in being nominated as a Health Hero or want to suggest a nominee, talk to your store manager!   

How Do I Earn Wellable Points From Exercise?

It's easy to earn Wellable Points every day by tracking your steps and activity. If you are not currently using an app or device to track your activity, the Wellable app allows you to automatically track steps/activity from your phone through Apple Health or S Health (the recommended free apps for iPhone and Android users, respectively).Download the Wellable app and follow the instructions below to get started!

Wellable App For iPhone

After signing in to the Wellable app with your Wellable username (email address) and password, go to the Connections page and follow the prompts to connect Apple Health.

Wellable App For Android

After signing in to the Wellable app with your Wellable username (email address) and password, go to the Connections page and follow the prompts to connect S Health. Please note that if S Health is not pre-installed on your phone, you will need to do this prior to connecting it to Wellable.

How Do I Connect An App Or Device To My Wellable Account?

You can check out the full list of apps and devices eligible for the challenge on the Connections page. If an app or device is not available for use in the challenge, that option will be grayed out. Below are the instructions to connect an app or device to your Wellable account. Only connect one activity tracking app to Wellable. For example, if you sync Apple Health to Wellable, you should not also sync a Fitbit, Garmin, etc. This can result in double counting of points which is not allowed. 

1. Go to the Connections page.
2. Select Connect below the app or device you would like to connect to your Wellable account. You must first have an existing account or create one for the app or device you would like to use prior to connecting it to Wellable.
3. Follow the prompts, which will require you to enter your app or device credentials. This will be your username and password for the app or device account, not your Wellable account. 

How Do I Log Meals?

You can sync several food-tracking apps to log meals. Go to Connections to see which apps can be synced to Wellable. You can log your meals using the FatSecret, MyFitnessPal, and Fitbit apps. MyFitnessPal does not sync directly to Wellable. MyFitnessPal syncs to Fitbit, S Health or Runkeeper which sync to Wellalble. If you have a Samsung phone, use connect MyFitnessPal to S Health. Otherwise, the free Fitbit app is a better option than Runkeeper.  

Where Can I Buy An Affordable Wearable Device?

Wellable offers discounts on wearable devices from Apple, Garmin and Fitbit. You can check out the options in Wearable Devices in the navigation bar. The most affordable devices are the Garmin Vivofit 4 ($64.99) and the Fitbit Inspire 3 ($89.99). Amazon also sells a number of affordable wearable fitness trackers. 

Why Are The Steps On My Device Not Showing In Wellable?

Wellable syncs data from your wearable device app, not the device itself. This means that the activity you see on your wearable device may not appear in Wellable because your device has not synced with your device’s app. Depending on your settings, this will be done manually or occur periodically throughout the day.

To confirm that your device is synced correctly with your device app, please follow the steps below.

1. Open your device app and make sure the activity on your device matches the activity you see in the device app.
2. Refresh your Dashboard to see the activity from your device in Wellable.

If you still do not see activity from your device app in your Wellable account, do not hesitate to reach out to Wellable Support!
