The global focus on heath has risen exponentially over the recent past and as mounting data suggests, underlying health and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have a strong correlation with Covid-19-critical symptoms, and more people are becoming aware of the importance of prevention rather than cure, which is expensive, difficult, and at most times does not lead to favourable outcomes.
As a result of this growing emphasis, many platforms have embraced the opportunity to reach audiences in addressing such present healthcare requirements of society.
Workout.lk is one such startup made with a vision to address this very problem via preventative solutions to our lifestyles. Speaking to the initiative’s Founder, she shared that it is an independent and collaborative platform that unites all players in the industry so as to give the public access to credible health and fitness resources and experiences all under one roof.
Introduced in 2017, their vision is to inspire active and holistic living and make it easy for consumers in Sri Lanka to lead healthy lives and ultimately reduce the chronic disease burden in our nation. Their services range from corporate workshops, coaching, health assessments, online classes, outdoor excursions, an online shop, health advocacy events, a directory, a print magazine, a digital resource library, and others.
Workout.lk has been organising many online webinars during the lockdown for the public as well as for corporate audiences. Covering topics including “how to become more productive and avoid pain and repetitive stress injuries at work from home”, “the role of diet and lifestyle choices in modulating immunity”, “motivating yourself towards a healthy commitment to fitness”, “tips and techniques for de-stressing from our daily work lives”, ‘insight into corporate wellness best practices”, etc. A particularly notable topic covered during the lockdown includes the discussion on gut microbiome and how our gut microbiome affects physical health, mental health, and immunity.
Workout.lk is actively promoting corporate wellness solutions, particularly addressing employee wellbeing, and therefore they invite any decision-makers to consult them on how employee wellness can be better managed during this pivotal time. The company shared that with their close network with healthcare, fitness, wellness, and technology partners, the possibilities are limitless.
As the lockdown eases, Workout.lk also aims to organise more wellness retreat events geared towards the outdoors, as there’s an abundance of documented evidence on the mental and physiological benefits of going outdoors.
Workout.lk also maintains a curated social media which focuses on holistic health and fitness goals, and provides inspirational video content from industry professionals to inspire active living. Amidst their platforms, industry benchmarks, and local innovations, success stories are acknowledged, featuring also trending activities like parkour, skating, and calisthenics, promoted to engage the younger demographic.
The company guarantees unbiased, credible information to the end-user and pledges to ensure ethical marketing and business practices as a Good Market-approved vendor. Additionally, Workout.lk makes an effort to encourage and promote organic, chemical-free, and cruelty-free living and production, regularly featuring health food and sport tech startups that are providing value to the Sri Lankan community.
