Arashi Vision's Employee Weight Loss Challenge

Insta360, a Shenzhen-based technology company also known as Insta360, launched its annual 'Million Yuan Weight Loss Challenge' on August 12. This initiative encourages employees to adopt healthier lifestyles by offering cash bonuses for weight loss. Since 2022, Insta360 has conducted seven rounds of the challenge, distributing nearly 2 million yuan in rewards. This year, employee Xie Yaqi was crowned 'Weight Loss Champion' after losing over 20 kg in 90 days, receiving 20,000 yuan. Xie Yaqi also shared the 'Qin Hao weight loss method' with colleagues. The program includes a penalty for weight regain, though no fines have been imposed. This corporate wellness effort by Insta360 aligns with China's broader 'Weight Management Year' campaign, a three-year national initiative launched in June 2024 to combat rising obesity rates and promote scientific fitness.
