NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Tivity Health (Nasdaq: TVTY), a leading provider of health
improvement solutions, is providing wellness resources in Walmart Health
in Dallas, GA. The state-of-the-art Walmart Health facility is
designed to improve associate and community health by making healthcare more
affordable and accessible, and by offering specialized community health
resources, online education and in-center workshops to educate the community
about preventive health and wellness.
Tivity Health will provide fitness classes and workshops for
the Community Room, a designated space within the center for wellness and
community activities. In addition to Tivity Health's signature SilverSneakers® program,
the nation's leading fitness program for older adults, the Community Room will
offer a broad range of fitness classes and will serve as a hub for specialized
community health resources. Classes will range from yoga to high intensity
interval training, with workshops focused on topics such as nutrition and
goal-setting. The programming will offer health and wellness opportunities for
all ages and will evolve to meet the needs of the local community.
"We are excited to be a part of Walmart Health and look
forward to leveraging our deep expertise in fitness, nutrition, social
connection and member engagement to create a healthier community,"
said Donato Tramuto, CEO of Tivity Health. "We have a shared vision
of improving wellness at the community and individual level by addressing key
factors that contribute to poor health. This model will combine affordable,
accessible care with well-being programs like SilverSneakers in a
consumer-focused model that addresses health, not sick care."
Tivity Health recognizes the importance of social activities
and connections to overall health, and its SilverSneakers program is proven to
improve overall fitness and also reduce social isolation and loneliness. Nearly
half of Americans report sometimes or always feeling alone; the health risks of
social isolation and loneliness are equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
The Community Room at Walmart Health will be a hub for social opportunities, as
well as preventive health and wellness for customers and associates.
"We want to help our customers live better, so
providing key wellness services is an important aspect of Walmart Health,"
said Phil Suiter, Vice President and Chief Wellness Officer, Walmart U.S.
Health and Wellness. "Tivity Health has proven expertise in fitness,
nutrition and social engagement programming, so they are well-suited to support
our holistic approach at Walmart Health."
Tivity Health is already providing a full calendar of
fitness and wellness programming in the Community Room at the Dallas, GA location.
Current class offerings include Tivity Health's signature SilverSneakers
classes, strength and balance, yoga, strength circuit and guided meditation. In
the coming weeks, Tivity Health will add workshops on wellness and nutrition
topics ranging from nutrition to container gardening to goal-setting.
