WW Teams Up With Julianne Hough And Daybreaker For Live-Streamed Workout To Celebrate Global Wellness Day

NEW YORK, June 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- WW: Weight Watchers Reimagined (NASDAQ: WW) is joining forces with Emmy award-winning choreographer and "America's Got Talent" judge Julianne Hough and global dance phenomenon, Daybreaker, to kick off Global Wellness Day with a sunrise workout and dance party on Saturday, June 8 from 6:30-9:30 am PDT.

Everyone who engages in the campaign is encouraged to tag a friend to join in the social movement, as sharing the experience of health and wellness can have a powerful and positive ripple effect.

"Community—the defining theme for this year's Global Wellness Day—is such an important element of wellness and has been one of the most powerful parts of the WW experience since its founding. This Saturday, we will bring our community together around the globe to inspire everyone to begin on their own journey, with one small action to start," said Mindy Grossman, President and CEO of WW.
