  The Wellness Inventory is the perfect program to bring a wellness dimension into your fitness center, to aid in client retention, and in creating new profit centers via wellness coaching. For fitness trainers, the program can help you create or expand your existing business, act as a marketing tool for gaining new clients, and facilitate a one-on-one coaching experience.

From the client engagement perspective, the program acts as the entry point for your client into their personalized wellness program, and continues to guide your client throughout the year on their wellness journey. Your health club becomes the client's year-round "wellness solution".

The Wellness Inventory is a pioneering "whole person" assessment and life-balance program designed to help your clients to gain personal insight into their state of physical, emotional, and spirtual wellness. The program offers guidance and tools to transform this new awareness into lasting changes in your client's lives, and a renewed sense of health and wellbeing.



"The Wellness Inventory system is an essential tool for assessing and monitoring your client's progress and making the coaching experience fun and interactive. It works well for clients that you see in-person, and those you coach at a distance. In addition, it provides opportunity for an additional revenue stream for coaching and trainers from various specialties."

Background - Teaching People to Be Well
The Wellness Inventory is based on the pioneering work of John W. Travis, MD, MPH, recognized as a founder of the modern wellness movement. Dr. Travis was a protégé of Dr. Louis Robbins, creator of the Health Risk Appraisal, while a resident at John's Hopkins and working with the US Public Health Service. In the early 1970s he decided to dedicate his life to "teaching people to be well" rather than treating patients. He opened the first wellness center in the U.S. (1975), created the first wellness assessment (Wellness Inventory) in 1976, and authored the classic Wellness Workbook.
