“We are excited to see how these wellness challenges encourage participants to be more mindful of the five key components of fitness, nutrition, sleep, hydration and coach interactions that the Rolling Strong program offers,” said Stephen Kane, president of Rolling Strong. “By the end of a competition, new habits will form, and people will win prizes. It’s fun, interactive and very impactful. We are grateful that Women In Trucking is helping pioneer gamified wellness in the trucking industry. We are also very happy to see such great industry leaders as Fitbit, AllTrails and Drivewyze show their support with their generous sponsorship.”
