Nothing is mandatory but they incentivize it to the max. You get $$$ for "health goals met" with regular weigh-ins, blood work, etc. I'm healthy, at a good weight, non-smoker, etc., so I don't get a lot of pressure, but other employees do. Most of the employees who sign up seem to like it, but it has always creeped me out. I've had several co-workers who signed up and have lost a lot of weight and made several hundred dollars.
