Welcome to WellWorks
At Ohio University WellWorks, we work to create a unique wellbeing experience for all our members. In an effort to better support our members and their busy lives, WellWorks has expanded our wellness center to a virtual platform. After all, it's not our physical space that makes us awesome, it's our members!
All current OHIO employees have an account on our member portal automatically generated for them using their employee credentials. Employees: Access your account on the portal by using your Single Sign On (SSO).
Non-employees can create an account by selecting "Sign Up" on our Member Portal.
From there, check out all of our program offerings and, if you decide you like what you see, you can purchase a Virtual Membership! Virtual Memberships cost $10 per month (certain Ohio University affiliates such as employees will be granted a reduced rate of $7 per month. The discount for OHIO employees will be automatically applied after logging in by using your "OHIO SSO").

What's Included in a Virtual Membership?
A WellWorks Virtual Membership includes more than just fitness classes! We target all areas of wellbeing in our offerings by ensuring we program toward: Movement, Fuel, Recovery and Stress Management. Virtual Membership offerings are constantly evolving and currently include access to:

- On Demand Wellbeing Coaching/Tutorials
- Live Fitness Classes

Plus, unlike traditional membership-based virtual programs, WellWorks is committed to populating the program with content based on feedback from our members. When you contact us, you'll be in touch with one of our friendly staff members, and not a call center. We genuinely want to provide you with an experience that can help you live all of life's adventures.

What are you waiting for?!
WellWorks Virtual Memberships are available to anyone! Memberships can be purchased online through our Member Portal, where all Virtual Membership resources are housed.
Members who had a Facility Membership that expired after March 15, 2020 had their memberships reactivated (and transitioned to Virtual Memberships) on October 1, 2020 so they could access our virtual offerings. Learn more.
Note: anyone who is not currently an Ohio University employee must first create an account on the portal to be able to check out our full library of offerings...creating an account doesn't obligate you to make any purchases or buy a membership. But, once your account is created, purchases on the Member Portal are simple!
Current University employees do not need to create an account and can simply use SSO to sign on - an account is automatically generated from your University credentials.

Information for WellWorks Members who had an active Facility Membership on March 16, 2020:
In March of 2020, our physical facility closed out of concern for the safety of our members and staff (due to COVID-19). At that time, all Facility Memberships were frozen. When memberships are thawed, expiration dates will be extended the length of time the membership was frozen.
In July of 2020, we made the decision to cancel any memberships that were on a 1-year direct debit. When we reopen our facility, those impacted by that decision will receive two weeks of membership if they elect to renew their membership. Those with Evergreen Memberships (auto-renewals with no expiration date), will not have to renew their memberships upon re-opening of our facility.
In October of 2020, Facility Memberships* were thawed (or reactivated), giving our members full access to our virtual content. Members were given the option to opt out of the reactivation.
In June of 2021, ahead of our June 1 reopening, members were given the option to reactivate their accounts so they could begin scheduling in-person fitness appointments in one of our three fitness facilities.
*To whom does this NOT apply? SilverSneakers®, OhioHealth Wellness Program (OhioHealthy), Direct Debit Memberships (One Year AND Evergreen) memberships.
- SilverSneakers®: These memberships were not reactivated due to restrictions in place by your insurance carrier. We encourage you to contact your insurance company to request they support this service. Or, purchase a Virtual Membership for $10/month to receive access to our offerings.
OhioHealth Wellness Program (OhioHealthy): Accounts were not reactivated. Direct debits were cancelled when we closed the facility in March. - Direct Debit Memberships (One Year AND Evergreen): We cancelled the ONE-YEAR direct debit contracts and notified those individuals by email - if the address you had on your account was valid. We have FROZEN the EVERGREEN direct debits and you will be notified when we reopen our facility that your contracts will resume.
Physical facility reopening date: Following a closure due to COVID, WellWorks reopened on June 1, 2021 and remains fully operational.
We’re excited to continue to interact with our amazing members on our virtual platform. Our Virtual Memberships will remain as-is through at least 2022. Additionally, anyone with a Facility Membership will receive unlimited access to our virtual content through 2022. As always, our team is here to connect with and support you should you have any questions.
