7th October 2025, London, UK: GoJoe, a global health and performance platform, has today announced its partnership with Epassi UK, the UK’s leading benefits and wellbeing hub, offering businesses a combined solution to boost employee health, wellbeing, and productivity.

The partnership will enable companies across the UK and Europe to provide comprehensive preventative health packages for employees that combines GoJoe’s digital platform with Epassi UK’s network of discounted gyms and fitness classes.

The offering enables whole workforces improved access to health, fitness and wellbeing services, helping to combat rising inactivity levels, improve mental health, and enhance workplace productivity and engagement.

According to NHS England, one-third of adults in the UK are not active enough to benefit their health, with a quarter classed as inactive. Physical inactivity contributes to chronic conditions, reduced mental wellbeing, and absenteeism in the workplace.*

Additionally, a 2023 report by WPI Economics demonstrates the clear link between employee health, happiness, and productivity, finding that 80% of workers are significantly more productive when they feel both physically and mentally well.**

GoJoe’s own findings show that six in ten (62%) employees self-reported increased workforce productivity after using GoJoe and similarly, seven in ten (73%) employees say that within two weeks of using the platform, their wellbeing improved.

Will Turner, CEO and Co-Founder of GoJoe said: “Since day one of GoJoe, our mission has been to get more people more active – and to feel the physical, mental, and social health benefits of doing just that. Partnering with Epassi UK enables us to offer businesses across the UK and Europe a more comprehensive benefit to help their people be more active, get healthier, and boost productivity.”

GoJoe’s platform uses a proven combination gamified challenges and experiences, social connection, rewards, and real-time tracking, motivating employees to get active and improve their wellbeing.

By integrating GoJoe with Epassi UK’s discounted access to gyms and classes, the partnership will help to make fitness and wellbeing services accessible and affordable, boosting employee health, motivation and productivity.

Blending digital and physical wellness solutions, companies can not only enhance their overall benefit package by offering tailored options to entire, global workforces - but also unlock potential cost savings through bundled offerings.

Matt Russell, CEO of Zest and Epassi UK said: “Demand for physical and mental wellbeing support is growing. Providing good physical and mental wellbeing initiatives is a non-negotiable in modern workplaces, contributing to better overall employee propositions. This partnership will boost access to wellbeing benefits for workers and help to increase productivity, offering improved value for money to employees and employers alike."

Having recently acquired employee benefits platform, Zest, Epassi UK is the UK’s leading benefits and wellbeing hub, delivering personalised and flexible benefits that drive healthier, happier and more valued teams.
