simply don't work.

Companies spend thousands on gym memberships nobody uses and apps nobody opens. The problem isn't the budget — it's the motivation.

Annual Premier League

The competition
that runs
all year.

Departments earn points every month — win gets 3 points, second gets 1. The table builds all year long. HR sets the season end date at setup — summer, Christmas, financial year. Nobody cancels when their team is top of the table.

The Matthew Effect.
Why most wellness
programmes fail.

Named after sociologist Robert Merton — "the rich get richer." When one metric determines who wins, the same people always win. Everyone else disengages. The programme dies.

The Problem
Every competitor uses one scoring system. Total steps. Total sessions. Total calories. The same fit employees win every month. Everyone else stops trying within weeks.
67% of programmes ignored within 3 months
The Helio Solution
Six rotating monthly objectives. Six different winners. Every personality type gets their moment — the athlete, the consistent performer, the beginner making their comeback, the explorer.

The only platform that
actually rewards effort.

Most platforms either offer access to things employees don't use, or discounts they have to spend money to unlock. Helio pays out for effort — nothing else.

Built GDPR-first.
Because your compliance team will ask.

Health data is sensitive. Helio is designed from day one so your data protection officer says yes — not "let me check."

🇬🇧
UK GDPR by Design
Data minimisation throughout. Helio reads only verified workout sessions and step counts — never location history, never medical records, never raw health data beyond what's needed.
🔐
Encrypted at Rest
Reward codes and personal data encrypted at rest with AES-256. All traffic encrypted in transit. Reward history sits behind authentication.
🖥️
Server-Side Verification
Every Joule is calculated and stored server-side, never on the device. Every transaction is logged and auditable. The app physically cannot be manipulated to award itself currency.
👁️
Employers See Trends, Not People
HR dashboards and reports show department-level aggregates. Managers never see an individual employee's health data — only leaderboard standings employees opt into by participating.
🗑️
Clean Offboarding
When an employee leaves, their access auto-revokes with their work email. Personal data deletion handled on request, in line with UK GDPR principles — no orphaned accounts, no lingering data.
📄
Paperwork Ready
Data Processing Agreement available at onboarding. ICO registration in progress ahead of launch. Clear documentation of what's collected, why, and for how long — written for your DPO, not just your lawyers.

Simple, transparent pricing.

One-time £50 setup fee. No long term contracts. Cancel anytime. A share of every subscription funds the employee reward pool.

Five companies.
That's the offer.

We're launching with five UK founding partners this summer. After that, the founding terms close permanently. Right now, we're also offering a small number of free 1-month pilots — no cost, no commitment — to companies helping us test and shape Helio before launch. Get in touch to ask about a pilot.

Questions HR always asks.

Can employees cheat the system?
Every session is verified server-side using GPS, Apple Health or Google Fit movement data, and duration thresholds before a single Joule is awarded. Joules are never calculated on the device, so the app can't be manipulated. Pattern detection flags suspicious activity.
Will managers see individual employee health data?
No. HR dashboards and monthly reports show department-level aggregates only — participation rates, total sessions, trends. The only individual visibility is the leaderboard, which shows session counts, not health data, and only for employees who participate.
What does it actually cost us per month?
Your per-employee subscription, full stop. A 50-person company on Starter pays £400/month plus a one-time £50 setup fee. All rewards, the charity donations, and the monthly leaderboard prize come out of that — there are no top-ups, surprise invoices, or per-redemption charges.
What if an employee doesn't want to take part?
Participation is entirely voluntary. Employees who opt out simply don't download the app — they appear in no leaderboard, no report, and no data is collected about them. Wellness programmes that feel mandatory fail; Helio is built to be wanted, not enforced.
Are we locked into a contract?
No. After the one-time £50 setup fee, you can cancel anytime. We keep clients by being worth keeping — the Annual Premier League tends to do that job for us.
How long does setup take?
One short onboarding call. You register your company email domain, name your departments, set the season end date, and you're live. Employees self-register with their work email — there are no access codes to distribute and nothing for IT to install.
What happens when an employee leaves the company?
Access is tied to their work email. When the email is deactivated, their Helio access auto-revokes. Personal data deletion is handled on request, in line with UK GDPR principles.

Ready to energise
your team?

We're onboarding our first five corporate partners this summer as founding clients. Founding partners get all features regardless of tier, locked-in pricing, and direct founder support.
