Home is Where the Health is! Innovators Panel on In-Home Wellness Solutions

These days, it can be incredibly difficult to make the time to take care of our health! As a result, we’ve seen a proliferation of home-based services to cut out the commute and save time. Combined with the massive and growing need for improved fitness, the health and wellness industry is no exception! In this panel discussion, we’ve assembled five professionals innovating in each of their fields; all are focused on improving health outcomes by bringing high-quality products and services into the home.

The event is free to attend, and we will have hors d'oeuvres provided by FarmersToYou, bringing organic and local farm-fresh refreshments including cheese, nuts, fruit, and veggies! Of course, to go with the cheese and snacks, we’ll also have a wine tasting courtesy of Scout & Cellar! We will be holding a raffle for those who attend to win a free month of twice-weekly personal training going into their New Year's Resolution strong! The event will also be broadcast via Facebook Live from the Golden Home Fitness page, and available later on our podcast, Golden Home Fitness Radio!

Will Hansen, NSCA-CPT - @GoldenHomeFitness / @WillHHansen
Golden Home Fitness, Director of Operations

Will Hansen has been training clients as a Personal Trainer since he was first allowed to get certified at age 18 and started in fitness with exercising at home at the ripe old age of 10. While he wasn’t even old enough to be allowed in a gym, training at home was necessary because it gave him the privacy and air cover to work hard while mitigating anxiousness about seeming like he “needed to work out,” working on his fitness while supporting mental health improvements. He’s trained in gym and sport performance settings since, and joined Golden Home Fitness two years ago, to grow the in-home wellness model and share the life-changing benefit he’s seen in himself and clients. Will is also the podcast host for Golden Home Fitness Radio.

About Golden Home Fitness:

Golden Home Fitness was founded to address an unmet need in the community: In-Home Fitness Training. This need for qualified personal fitness trainers for the home is especially important for those people whose fitness, lifestyle and health needs are not met by the mass-produced exercise programs offered by the standard fitness club. Golden Home Fitness clients want to learn how to safely and effectively exercise in their own home using a personalized exercise program. They want to eliminate travel time to the gym and wait times for machines, and they want to control their own schedule. They desire privacy and want to ensure safety and cleanliness. Moreover, Golden Home Fitness clients must be assured of the quality and dedication of their own personal trainer. They want nationally certified professionals who will be able to develop and customize a program to meet their individual needs and time constraints.
