Most gated communities in South Florida have a fitness room. Very few have a wellness program that actually delivers what residents are looking for. The gap between those two things is wider than most HOA boards realize — and it is entirely closable.

In Episode 5 of The HOA Wellness Report, host Mike Kneuer breaks down the seven wellness amenities that separate the highest-performing residential communities in Palm Beach County and Broward County from the ones where the gym sits empty and residents stop asking for more.

This episode is a little different. While most of what we cover on this show is aimed at HOA boards and property managers, today Mike is speaking directly to residents — because residents are often the most underutilized force in improving a community's wellness offering. If you live in a gated community in South Florida and your wellness program feels like it is missing something, this episode gives you a clear picture of what you should have access to and exactly how to start the conversation with your board.

Mike walks through professionally instructed group fitness classes, personal training access on community property, nutrition counseling and wellness workshops, physical therapy and recovery services, massage programming, community wellness events and challenges, and the one amenity most communities completely overlook that determines whether residents actually use everything else.

Topics covered include what makes the difference between a class that fills up every week and one that slowly empties, why personal training is the highest-satisfaction service in any community wellness program, how wellness events build a community culture that extends far beyond the fitness room, and a word-for-word email template residents can copy and send directly to their property manager or board.
