A Global Effort with Local Impact: Celebrate World Wellness Weekend

Wellness has never been more important than it is today, yet a whopping 80% of people are off the radar when it comes to outreach from health clubs and wellness groups. World Wellness Weekend aims to change that—and participating offers you an excellent opportunity to promote your organization and demonstrate your commitment to your community.

Introduce Your Offerings to a New Audience

On Saturday and Sunday, September 18-19, fitness centers, spas, salons, yoga studios, and sports organizations will mark World Wellness Weekend. Participants will take a celebratory approach to wellness as they connect through classes and special events both inside the gym or studio and outside in the community.

Participating in World Wellness Weekend Is Fun and Easy

The range of options for participating reflects the creativity and innovative spirit of the wellness community. Examples range from an indoor group class, an outdoor boot camp, a day pass to the club, a presentation on nutrition, or a free meditation session.

You Can Make the Most of This Opportunity with Three Simple Steps:

1. Plan at least one free wellness activity for your community for the weekend of September 18-19, 2021.

2. Register your event on the World Wellness Weekend site to appear on the site and map of activities.

3. Post wellness selfies, or “well-fies,” on social media tagging @IHRSA on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram using hashtags #WorldWellnessWeekend, #wellnessbuddies, and #wellnessforall.
