Enterprise Wellness That Pays: Fit Teams Ship Faster
Most enterprise employee-wellness programs die the same way: a subsidy nobody redeems, a step tracker nobody opens, a portal that's a ghost town by week three. The problem isn't your people — it's that the program asks for effort and gives back nothing they can feel. Cadoo flips that. It runs verified fitness games for your company where employees stake money on a goal, get paid when they hit it, and forfeit to the finishers when they don't. Wellness that pays, literally.
The idea is simple: fit teams ship faster. Give a department a private, camera-verified challenge that's fun to win, and you get energy, culture, and healthier people back.
Workouts In. Performance Out.
Cadoo runs on one compounding loop — Workouts in. Performance out. — and for an enterprise it spins through five turns:
- Your team — any group that performs better when it moves: a department, a squad, the whole company.
- Team games — private and gated to your people. Steps and distance for everyone (pulled from Apple Health and Google Health Connect), camera-verified reps for the competitive.
- Verified habits — no honor-system check-ins. CadooVision uses the phone camera and AI pose detection to count reps and score form on pushups, situps, squats, pullups, and dips, so every rep and step is verified and standings actually mean something.
- Energy and culture — standings, streaks, and trash talk. Leagues run Bronze to Champions, so there's always a rung to climb and a reason to show up.
- Performance and retention — healthier, sharper teams that stay. The loop spins.
Because the money is real and the verification is real, participation isn't a compliance checkbox — it's a competition people opt into and keep coming back to.
Why It Works Where Traditional Programs Fail
Legacy corporate wellness leans on self-reported activity and gift-card carrots. Cadoo replaces both with stakes and proof. Employees put their own money on the line — the strongest motivator there is — and every workout is camera- or device-verified, so the leaderboard your team is fighting over is trustworthy. Anyone can host: HR can spin up a company-wide challenge, a team lead can gate a private squad game, and you can add a prize pool. Camera-verified workouts even become shareable "skinned" proof-of-work videos, so wins spread through your culture instead of dying in a spreadsheet.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are workouts verified so the standings are fair?
Two ways. CadooVision uses the phone camera plus AI pose detection to count reps and score form on pushups, situps, squats, pullups, and dips. Steps and distance come from Apple Health or Google Health Connect. Nothing is self-reported, so a team leaderboard reflects real work.
Can we keep our company's games private?
Yes. Any game can be gated as a private, branded Group so only your people can see and join it. Steps are inclusive for everyone; camera-verified reps are there for the competitive crowd who want to push.
Do employees actually get paid?
Yes — that's the point. Players stake money on a fitness goal. Hit it and you get paid; miss it and your stake goes to the finishers. Hosts can also add a prize pool to sweeten team games.
Who can host a challenge?
Anyone. HR can run a company-wide game, a manager can host a squad challenge, and you can start with free onboarding games or staked money games. Leagues run Bronze to Champions so momentum builds over time.
