At The Wellness Company we feel it is imperative for all of us to be exposed to opportunities that alleviate negative influences from career, food choices, and living a sedentary lifestyle. Phase one of brand development has been focused on building a clientele of working or semi-retired professionals that are ready to transform themselves physically through personal training and nutrition counseling. Phase two, on launching an activewear and wellness product line. Beyond phase two is a desire to create opportunities that fund innovation within the wellness industry, an industry where its online/virtual fitness market size valued at $6M in 2019, is projected to reach at $59M by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 33.1% from 2020 to 2027.
