Company Summary

Wello lowers the barriers to getting healthy by delivering a convenient and accountable fitness solution. Consumers find qualified trainers in an online marketplace and seamlessly book, pay for and interact over live, two-way video, either 1-on-1 or with a group using a laptop and webcam.
