In this episode:
We tackle a hot topic: Is your facility truly a wellness centre—or just a fitness centre with a cold plunge pool? Ed and Mark unpack the real meaning of “wellness” in today’s fitness landscape, exploring:

The difference between health and wellness (metrics vs. journey)
Why personal trainers must evolve beyond just exercise programming
How holistic approaches (nutrition, sleep, stress, recovery) set trainers and facilities apart
The industry’s shift from traditional gyms to diverse, client-centered wellness offerings
Why adding a cold plunge or yoga class doesn’t automatically make you a “wellness centre”
Practical steps for trainers and owners to lead meaningful change—starting from the top

You’ll also hear real-world examples, industry myths busted, and actionable advice for staying competitive in a rapidly changing market.
Key takeaway:
True wellness is more than just adding trendy services—it’s about a holistic, client-first approach that creates lasting impact.
