DENVER, CO -- July 23, 2008 -- Van Gilder will offer its employees, spouses and dependents incentaHEALTH's weight loss and wellness program as its expands employee wellness offerings.

incentaHEALTH's patent-pending program is designed to help participating employees lose weight and develop healthy lifestyle habits. This is accomplished through a daily e-mail coaching program that pays employees for achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.

incentaHEALTH is an outsourced, turn-key program. "All an employer needs to supply is a location at the workplace where employees can privately weigh in on our computerized scale, which we call the HEALTHspot," said Jack Rule, CEO of incentaHEALTH. "Body mass index (BMI) data is sent directly to the incentaHEALTH datacenter where program participants have private access to their performance information. This data is never shared with the employer, preserving employee privacy and minimizing the administrative burden on the employer."

Van Gilder is offering the program to it's main Downtown Denver office as well as two other outlying offices and a location in Dallas.

Through daily personalized e-mails, incentaHEALTH's fitness advisors demonstrate how participants can make sustainable lifestyle changes. Suggestions include eating smaller portions of healthy foods on a more frequent basis, in addition to exercising regularly. “Having access to someone who can guide you through the ups and downs of weight loss is a key part of this program” says Courtney Lake, Fitness Advisor for incentaHEALTH. Participants can interact via phone, e-mail, or real-time online chat with their advisors. They can also chart their success through online access to private progress reports.
