Go Gold Starts Next Week!
Over 200 of your colleagues have already signed up for Go Gold. From the creators of Walktober and inspired by the Winter Olympics, Go Gold takes you on a virtual tour of iconic moments and motivates you to embrace physical activity — during the winter season and beyond.
You can link your favorite tracking device or simply record exercise minutes with the platform's built-in tracker, and Go Gold converts them to steps for you. Log 4,000 steps to reveal captivating Winter Games facts and photos, then keep moving to earn a bronze, silver, or gold medal by recording 6,000, 8,000, or 10,000 steps per day. Each medal earned goes toward filling your Go Gold mountain — a visible reminder of your progress toward greater fitness and energy.
Additional Go Gold features include a community page with an interactive discussion wall and poll questions, the option to add friends and form teams so you can cheer on your colleagues, and hundreds of healthy recipes, featuring winter warm-ups and international favorites.
This program takes place from Feb. 9 - March 25 and is open to benefits-eligible faculty and staff members. Registration and team formation close on Feb. 16. Celebrate the thrill of the Winter Games with Go Gold — a season of movement, motivation, and going for your personal best.

Celebrating CWRU's Wellness Champions
CWRU Wellness Champions, also known as Wellness Champs, are staff and faculty representatives who promote wellness opportunities within their areas of the university. I'm sure you know at least one Wellness Champion, whether you are aware of the program or not. They are your friends and colleagues from departments across campus who have a passion for wellness, as well as the motivation to encourage others to prioritize their health and connect them with resources to support their well-being while at work.
We have a fantastic team of Wellness Champions who help spread the word about Wellness Program offerings. We are so grateful for their efforts to create a positive, caring culture at the university. To celebrate their accomplishments and to build awareness of the Wellness Champions program, we recently featured some of our Champs in a video about the program.
If you decide you are interested in joining this fun and meaningful initiative, you can learn more and download the application from our Wellness Champions page. Reach out with questions!
