SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., May 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MINDBODY (NASDAQ: MB), the leading technology platform for fitness, wellness and beauty services industries, today announced a new partnership with the nonprofit Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) to help connect people of all ages to wellness nationwide through several integrative programs and initiatives.
As part of PHA's Healthier Campus Initiative, MINDBODY will provide free business management software and FitMetrix heart monitoring technology to participating campus fitness centers. MINDBODY will also support 'Healthy Campus Week' in September, which includes on-campus wellness classes and fitness related prizes.
As part of the commitment, MINDBODY will also provide select companies with a comprehensive toolkit to help create and support corporate wellness programs.

Founded in 2010 in conjunction with the Let's Move! campaign of Former First Lady Michelle Obama, who remains involved as honorary chair, PHA is devoted to working with the private sector to ensure the health of our nation's youth by solving the childhood obesity crisis. PHA has since partnered with over 200 representatives of the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, to create and support initiatives that address nutrition, physical activity and wellness programming.
"MINDBODY's commitment to making America well falls right in line with our commitment to creating a healthier future for our country," said Nancy E.
