Wellness Warrior: One Step at a Time

By Maria Kristina Wingkee

In 2025, Onelife has made significant strides in championing the physical wellness of our NLEX employees, recognizing that a healthy workforce is the foundation of a productive and thriving organization.

We went beyond the basics by launching a series of wellness challenges and initiatives focused on improving the overall health, fitness, and lifestyle of our team members. Wellness Warrior, a six-month program running from March to September, brought together 69 registered teams, each committed to taking on various health-driven challenges. After nearly six months of dedication and effort, the competition narrowed down to 13 finalist teams. The final leg of the challenge was a true culmination—requiring participants to lose weight, attend gym workouts, join Wellness Wave classes, and even track their runs through Strava.

We were thrilled to witness the determination, teamwork, and resilience of every group throughout the journey. On September 17, we proudly announced the winners—celebrating not just the champions, but the collective commitment of everyone who took part in this transformative wellness journey.

Our team’s wellness journey can be summed up in three powerful words: fighter, teamwork, and commitment. To our team, being a wellness warrior means more than physical strength. It’s someone who is passionate about health and well-being, who practices self-care, leads by example, and promotes healthy habits—not just for themselves, but for everyone around them. – Papa P Warriors

Winning Edge. Our team was all eyes on the prize—driven by data, discipline, and strategy. The most ridiculous—but memorable—activity? Getting off the bus 4km away from home every night just to rack up distance. We truly enjoyed Challenge #4. It pushed us beyond our limits, into new territory we never imagined possible in such a short time. Everyone gave their best—without being told—and soon, our teamwork felt effortless. Harmony, grit, and growth defined our journey. – Thomas & Friends

We didn’t join to win; we just wanted something new—an adventure to break our sedentary routine, improve our well-being, and find balance. Becoming a Wellness Warrior turned out to be one of the best parts of 2025. We discovered our strength—”Kaya ko pala ‘yun gawin.” Starting was the hardest part, but as we took it one step at a time, we saw progress and became hooked. It’s true: investing in your health is one of the best things you can do—not just for yourself, but for the people you love. Elite Warriors

And this is just the beginning. As we move forward, we will continue to explore new ways to empower every NLEX employee to take charge of their health—because at Onelife, your wellness is our priority.
