Wellness coaching that works inside your company, not alongside it.
Optilab Wellness puts a coach onsite at tech and software companies on a fixed weekly schedule. We do 1:1 coaching, group movement sessions, and nutrition and training plans, all delivered in your office and fitted to how your team actually works.
The problem we're built for
Most of your people sit at a desk most of the day. Many aren't doing any regular physical activity, and a gym stipend doesn't change that. Access isn't the issue. Someone has to show up, learn the team, and make the next step obvious.
What makes it different
What poor health costs your team, now and as it grows.
Enter your headcount and average salary to see a research-based range for health-related lost productivity: time lost to absence, plus reduced performance at work.
Estimated annual cost
| Health-related lost productivity | $300,000 – $600,000 |
|---|---|
| Per employee | $3,000 – $6,000 |
This is today's estimate: health costs tend to rise as a team ages, and in employer data they have also risen as employees' health risks increased.1
Notes
- 1.Estimates are illustrative, not a prediction for your company. Absence is based on US Bureau of Labor Statistics data (2025: full-time workers lose about 1% of work hours to their own illness or injury). Presenteeism, meaning reduced performance while at work, is estimated at 1-3% of payroll based on peer-reviewed studies (Stewart et al., JOEM 2003; Goetzel et al., JOEM 2004). Healthcare figures apply only to self-funded or level-funded plans and use CDC-led research on physical inactivity (Carlson et al., Prog Cardiovasc Dis 2015), adjusted to 2025 dollars. These figures reflect all health-related causes, not physical inactivity alone. Optilab does not claim its program will recover any specific amount.
- 2.Average healthcare spending is about 2.6x higher at ages 55-64 than at 19-34 (KFF analysis of AHRQ MEPS 2021). Full-time workers aged 55+ lose a larger share of work hours to their own illness or injury than workers aged 25-54 (BLS CPS 2025). In employer data, medical costs rose as the number of health risks increased (Edington, Am J Health Promot 2001; observational). This is not a projection for your company.
Coaching runs in the client's own space — meeting rooms, quiet corners, the desks people already work at. The setting is the company's, not a clinic's.
Onsite with Field AI, a robotics company of roughly 300 people in Irvine, CA.
Optilab works with technology and software companies across Orange County and the wider LA area. Engagements are sized to headcount and hiring pace, not sold off a fixed menu.

What years of coaching onsite taught me about the 20% problem
Most wellness programs reach a fifth of the people who pay for them. The reason isn't motivation, and it isn't the app.
