Upfit Holistic Prevention Program (Nutrition & Exercise)
Digital prevention program for employees: It combines a twelve-month nutrition coaching via the Upfit app with a certified online exercise course. Employees improve their nutrition and physical activity at the same time—flexibly in terms of time and location. This means one offer covers two WHP areas of action. Thanks to ZPP certification, costs can be covered by statutory health insurance.

Tax and health insurance: what is possible
Employer health benefits can be tax-free under § 3 no. 34 of the German Income Tax Act (EStG) up to €600 per employee per year — if they are provided in addition to the salary already owed and are either certified (§ 20 SGB V) or implemented within the company's health promotion process. Gym memberships and corporate fitness are not covered. For ZPP-certified courses (e.g. from Upfit), German statutory health insurers can reimburse all or part of the course fee to their insured members — then only the amount exceeding that reimbursement is tax-free. Projects within the company can be funded under § 20b SGB V, with no entitlement. Only your tax adviser can confirm the tax exemption.
