Work Active
WorkActive turns brief physical activity into a rewarding habit, using a gamified app integrated with vibration plate workouts to help employees stay active, healthy, and motivated throughout the workday.
The Challenge
WorkActive saw a problem many businesses overlook:| Employees spend most of their day seated, leading to fatigue, stiffness, and health risks that affect morale, productivity, and long-term wellbeing.
Even with wellness programs in place, engagement was low and employees often saw them as “just another corporate initiative” rather than something enjoyable.
WorkActive needed a solution that would:
• Fit seamlessly into the busy workday without long interruptions
• Be fun enough to get people coming back voluntarily
• Build a culture of friendly competition and connection among employees
• Show measurable participation and progress
The Solution
SozoLabs partnered with WorkActive to create a gamified wellness app that integrates directly with Power Plate vibration platforms , devices designed for quick, high-impact activity sessions.
Our approach:
1. Understand the Workplace Rhythm - We mapped how employees moved (or didn’t move) during their day to identify natural points for activity.
2. Make It a Game, Not a Chore - We embedded game mechanics — scores, leaderboards, challenges — that made short bursts of activity feel rewarding and competitive in a friendly way.
3. Keep It Accessible and Inclusive - The app was designed for users of all fitness levels, ensuring anyone could join in and contribute to their team’s score.
The Impact
• Real-time Activity Tracking – Power Plate usage automatically syncs to the app.
• Team & Individual Challenges – Weekly goals to drive consistent engagement.
• Leaderboards & Rewards – Recognition for top performers to keep motivation high.
• Gamified UX – Visual progress, badges, and friendly nudges to encourage repeat use.
Why Sozo?
For employees:
• Quick 2–5 minute activity bursts during the day improved circulation and energy.

• Participants reported feeling more alert and motivated post-session.
