Research on workplace wellness programs has typically been dominated with samples of white-collar workers. This study builds-upon and extends this research using an exploratory, inductive approach. Our study seeks to answer research questions regarding blue- and white-collar workers’ exercise motives, health and wellbeing outcomes, changes over time, and predictors of health and wellbeing outcomes over time. Data is analyzed cross-sectionally and longitudinally across four years. The similarities and differences found in this study can inform future theory and research regarding blue- and white-collar workers in workplace wellness programs.
