For health, wellness and

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. 

While physical fitness is essential for maintaining good health, staying connected to those around you and to your community also plays a vital role in promoting overall well-being. 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. 

Now through Optimity, you will be rewarded for not only your health and wellness but also your connection to your community. Log your volunteer hours and receive gems toward your favorite gift cards. Complete custom challenges like donating nonperishable food items and line-drying your clothes to conserve energy. Simply upload a picture and caption and earn gems toward gift cards in one click.

Recognizing a teacher’s dedication doesn’t require grand gestures, but it does call for intention.
