Herbalife Named One of Fittest Companies by Men's Fitness Magazine

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF), a global nutrition and direct selling company, was named one of the 15 fittest companies in America by Men's Fitness magazine. Men's Fitness selected these companies based on access to state-of-the-art gym and fitness facilities, cafeterias with health- and nutrition-minded menus, preventative medical care, and programs for losing weight and quitting smoking, and rewards for staying in shape.

"We are a company that 'walks the talk,' said Michael O. Johnson, Herbalife's chairman and CEO. "We're extremely proud of our employees' efforts in changing their lives and we will continue to do our best to support healthy, active lifestyles."

Among the many components of the company's Wellness for Life program are two weight loss challenges held every year - "Maintain, Don't Gain" during the holiday season and "Summer Shape-Up." The challenges include weigh-ins, weekly tips and handouts, and support sessions.

Herbalife also sponsors monthly educational seminars with nutrition and fitness experts on topics such as healthy snacking, and encourages employees to participate in the company's basketball and tennis leagues. Similarly, Herbalife sponsors around eight triathlons nationwide (among 120 other sports and fitness-related events), and provides professional trainers, team clothing and peer support for employees who participate.

"The old me felt run-down, stressed out and tired," says Paul Funk, a senior systems business analyst. "The new me joined the 'Maintain, Don't Gain' challenge and lost 5.5 pounds. I now ride my bike to work three days a week - six miles each way - and every week feel stronger and more energetic. The Wellness Challenge changed my life for the better."

Employees based in Herbalife's Torrance, Calif. facility have access to the Team Herbalife Fitness Center, a state-of-the-art gym facility where employees can participate in lunchtime power walks, abs classes, or general workouts with trainers. The facilities also include a cafe with a healthy menu and subsidized prices.

Finally, Herbalife gives its employees complimentary access to its array of protein shakes, energy drinks, and nutritional supplements.

Employee achievements and success stories are regularly shared at company meetings as well as in Herbalife's quarterly employee magazine, fostering an environment of support and motivation.
