What is Better Health: Rewards?

Better Health Rewards image

The FREE Better Health: Rewards app is now available in Wolverhampton. Download today to get free help for a healthier you. 

Better yet, there are thousands of rewards available to be unlocked in the app, including supermarket vouchers, cinema tickets, gym passes and many more. 

To get started, simply download the app from your app store and connect a fitness tracker. Don’t worry if you don’t already have one, you can get one for FREE with the app. 

Once your fitness tracker is connected to the app, you and your app will need to spend a few days getting to know to each other. This is so the app can generate health goals just for you.  
 
Make sure you complete each step in your ‘to-do’ list, including completing the quizzes and syncing your fitness tracker for 5 full days. Once completed, you will gain access to the full app, including health goals and the rewards store! 

Then, each week you choose up to two health goals you want to focus on, like doing 10 minutes of extra physical activity or eating more fruit and vegetables. 

Whatever goal you choose, the app will provide handy tips and recipe ideas along the way to help. 

The app is only available to download for a limited time for adults (18 years and over) in Wolverhampton, so download today.
