Overall wellness & the health club industry

In fact, there are four lenses of wellness: natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and history. Under this umbrella, a person's overall wellness is multi-dimensional and includes their physical health, mental health, emotional health, social health, environmental factors, and more.

With this in mind, many people are exercising more than just their physical health when they enter a gym setting.
