community connection

If you are an Optimity user, it is safe to say that health and wellness are top priorities for you. Optimity helps motivate different activities like stretching and drinking water, earning you gift cards to your favorite retailers and brands.

The combination of physical health and community connection creates a synergistic effect that enhances your quality of life and contributes to a longer, healthier and more fulfilling existence.

That being said, we introduce to you a crucial new component of the Optimity program: Community Connection.
