Welcome to Wexer – an online World of Exercise with the distinct purpose of getting people physically active and helping them stay active.
Wexer represents a 21st century outreach for those who want to get in shape and need the flexibility, efficiency and motivational tools that only a digital platform can provide. For less than five dollars a month, guided exercise is only a click away and the Wexer exercise universe is fully accessible wherever you have a computer with an internet connection.
Moreover, members can share their goals and success stories through our enhanced integration with Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
Most importantly, members are held accountable to the goals they set for themselves by utilizing online tracking tools.
SO WHY ARE WE HERE?
For obvious reasons, globesity is on the worldwide agenda of our countries’ leaders and health care professionals. Combating the way of the sedentary lifestyle - and thereby reducing the financial burden placed on our health care systems - is a war that must be waged. Any means of attacking globesity head-on will prove invaluable. Our weapon of choice: Wexer.com.
Our vision is to raise the level of health and well-being on a global scale, by increasing the number of people who exercise regularly.
WHO WE ARE
We at Wexer strongly believe that enhancing the quality of people’s lives through exercise is a value-creating process. It is a process that Team Wexer has been working on well before the birth of our initial concept. Wexer (short for World of Exercise) is the brainchild of Founder and CEO, Rasmus E. Ingerslev.
Team Wexer is in no short supply of industry experience. Cumulatively speaking, our core team members and Board of Directors bring more than 100 years of senior level management fitness industry involvement to the table.
The Wexer Team is headed by Chairman of the Board Frank J. Napolitano and CEO Rasmus E. Ingerslev.
Frank J. Napolitano is currently the CEO and President of GlobalFit, the largest provider of health, fitness and wellness benefits to major US corporations and insurers. Frank has been in the health club industry since 1984, latest as Chief Strategy Officer at Town Sports International Inc. Additionally, Frank is Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of Club Reality Group, LLC, owners of leisure real estate. Further, he is a member of the Board of Directors and past President of IHRSA, which is the largest and only worldwide association for the health and fitness club industry.
Rasmus E. Ingerslev has several years of senior management experience within the health club industry. In 2001, Rasmus co-founded fitness dk, which under his leadership grew into the largest fitness chain in Denmark with more than 120,000 members. Rasmus was honored with the European Club Leadership Award in 2007 (IHRSA) and was in 2008 a top five nominee for the Danish leader of the year award. In 2010, Rasmus founded the low-cost health club chain, Fresh Fitness (www.freshfitness.dk), which has - in just 1,5 years - grown into being the 3rd biggest fitness chain in Denmark. Finally, Rasmus is a member of IHRSA’s European Council.
The remaining members of the Board of Directors count David Patchell-Evans (GoodLife Fitness, Canada), Steven L Schwartz (TCA Holdings and MidTown Athletic Clubs) and Paul J. Kuebler (Golds Gym, Russia, Iberia, Eastern and Central Europe).
Besides the Board of directors the CEO has an active Advisory Board with complementary backgrounds within exercise TV/Media, Internet, legislation and strategy, as well as several years of senior level business experience.
We consider ourselves a health club, though in our self-defined category ‘fitness 2.0’ since we have combined the best of traditional health clubs and web 2.0. We are members of IHRSA, the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association, and work closely with the "brick and mortar" health club operators to keep their members motivated and active.
SO WHAT MAKES Wexer UNIQUE?
Wexer Highlights
- High-quality exercise videos.
- Time Efficiency - exercise whenever and wherever you wish.
- Privacy - Exercise alone in your pajamas or exercise with friends.
- Motivation - Encouragement from Wexer Instructors along with visual representation of your progress.
Many sites have attempted to include some of the above features, but none have managed to provide as comprehensive an approach to achieving member retention and satisfaction. At Wexer, we are putting these pieces of the puzzle together in a way that we strongly believe will get more people engaged in regular physical exercise for life!
We look forward to the never ending pursuit of actualizing our vision and we will constantly develop new features and enhanced capabilities based on the feedback we’ve received from our members. As Wexer grows we know that we can truly make a difference. The idea of globesity being a thing of the past, and a zesty, physically active majority as the norm, is what motivates our team each and every day.
We hope you’ll become a proud ‘Wexarian’ like us and join the fight for a healthier future.
Yours in health,
Team Wexer
