GET TO KNOW US

Wellhub (formerly Gympass) is a corporate wellness platform that connects employees to the best partners for fitness, mindfulness, therapy, nutrition, and sleep, all included in one subscription designed to cost less than each individual partner.

Founded in 2012 and headquartered in NYC, we have a growing global team in 11 countries.

We expect all candidates to be avid learners, team workers, and not afraid to fail fast and try again.
