Analogic Walks Around the World

Analogic Corporation, New England's largest manufacturer of medical devices, first signed up for FitAWare service in the 4th quarter of 2008 with 50 participants. Analogic decided to renew the subscription in the 2nd quarter of 2009, doubling the size of the program and running a creative six-week fitness challenge pitting management against the employees. The rules were simple — the team with the highest average performance over the period would win. If any team beat the management, or "Operations" team, the operations team would serve the highest-performing team lunch at the end of the competition. On the other hand, if no employee team won, then the lowest-performing employee team would have to serve management lunch. The stakes were high and the competition was on.

What happened? Collectively, the 100 Analogic participants walked over 50 million steps during the six weeks of the challenge. The top individual performer turned in over a million steps during the period, and one participant logged a 62,000+ step day. Testimonials included "I lost 40 pounds," and "I'm down to my college weight for the first time in 20 years." Converted to distance, the total steps equaled the circumference of the Earth at the equator. And the Operations team? They put on tuxedo-printed T-shirts and served the "Happy Hoofers" lunch at the awards banquet. The event was a huge success, and Analogic is already looking forward to the next FitAWare challenge later this summer.
