Introducing:

What is it?

·         Princeton Living Well (PLW) is a start-up community wellness project in the greater Princeton area developed by Free Wheeler member Rick Weiss.  Funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, the project is designed to foster weight control, diabetes prevention, and, general wellness in the Princeton community.

·    The project is free and open to all area residents. 

·    A website and reward system work together to involve all elements of the community:  residents, retail businesses, restaurants, and service organizations.

        The website provides resources to encourage healthy lifestyles:

o    Free online health tools

o    A calendar of healthful community events

o    Access to local wellness resources and “yellow” pages

o    Articles, forums and blogs on health and fitness issues

        The rewards system offers product and service incentives to encourage healthy lifestyles:

o    Members can earn reward points on the website or at community events

o    40+ local businesses offer 63+ great PLW rewards and discounts

Such as discounts at Blue Point Grill, Tre Piani, Mediterra, Zen Palate, Sahara, Princeton Running Company, CanDo Fitness Club, Princeton Yoga (many more!)

Princeton Free Wheelers in partnership with Princeton Living Well:

In July, Princeton Free Wheelers and Princeton Living Well will be starting a partnership in which both organizations will be fostering the goals of the other  a real win-win situation:  Each month, several Free Wheeler rides will be designated PLW rides. Ride leaders will hand out to ride participants a PLW Living Well point card with a code that can be entered on the PLW website to earn PLW reward points. PLW points can be redeemed for rewards on the PLW website. PLW will supply the designated ride leaders with provided point cards and for their effort will earn additional points. The rides will be listed in the The FreeWheel and on the PLW website calendar (dates and times only). 

Look for this PWL icon to see which rides are currently designated as part of the program.
