Wellhub Launches US Campaign to Promote Employee Benefits

Wellhub, formerly known as Gympass, has released its first brand campaign for the US market. The film features actor Terry Crews multiplied across different wellness settings to promote the company's employee benefits offering, with multiple versions of the actor doing yoga, pickleball, running, gym training and jiu-jitsu in a single production.

The film aims to make corporate wellness benefits appear accessible. According to Wellhub, the concept is designed to show wellness as a shared experience rather than an individual activity.

"That is the mindset we want every employee to have access to, and exactly what Wellhub makes possible for companies that are ready to invest in their people the right way."
