MINNEAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
Muve, Inc., the activity-based weight management company, continues to see
increased interest in measurable, sustainable wellness solutions by employers
trying to reduce employee health care costs. Muve`s product, the Gruve Solution,
helps corporate clients and their employees to become more healthy and
productive, while reducing health care costs through measurable results. 

Muve, Inc. developed Gruve in cooperation with the Mayo Clinic after years of
research about sedentary lifestyles. The research found that people are less
active than ever before hence the continued climb in obesity rates. Gruve was
designed to help motivate people to become more active and uses the latest in
accelerometer technology to accurately measure a person`s movements throughout
the day such as standing at the bus stop, cleaning the house, or walking the
dog. 

What makes Gruve so unique among the myriad of other caloric burn monitors is
the real-time feedback supplied through colored lights and the tactile "buzz"
the user feels if they have been sitting for too long. The objective is simple,
adding more movement into your day burns more calories which can lead to
improved health. 

While Muve`s corporate customers cover a wide-range of industries from insurance
to health care, one of Muve's recent customers is a leader in employee wellness
among professional service firms. Zelle Hofmann Voelbel & Mason LLP, a national
litigation and dispute resolution law firm, recently completed a Gruve pilot and
decided to roll out the program to their employees. Currently, employees are in
the first few weeks of using Gruve and early indications show that they are
changing their habits and are becoming more active throughout the day. 

"Most people seem to recognize their need for accountability to change their
daily activity habits and to improve their wellness," said Zelle Hofmann Chief
Operating Officer, Robert Pederson. "Gruve offers accountability and makes it
fun with goals and color-coded reminders of progress throughout each day. Zelle
Hofmann also offers challenges and incentives to our employees in order to
encourage participation."
