<strong>Wellness</strong><br />
for Men<br />
Understanding how and what men think of wellness is not always<br />
at the forefront of discussions. <strong>Wellness</strong> services, products, and<br />
communication tend to pay little attention to exploring how men<br />
may perceive wellness, or what they want from wellness. A series<br />
of exploratory studies from HTWWLife have been looking into<br />
men’s wellness in detail. An initial survey highlighted that men are<br />
interested in the actual benefits of wellness, rather than just the<br />
promising labels. It discovers that men are open to learning about,<br />
and trying, new activities that can help them feel better, either at<br />
home or when traveling.<br />
Industry experts were asked for their insights on the survey results,<br />
concluding that:<br />
1. Cultural traditions, social norms, age, family background, life<br />
cycle position, sexuality, and orientation all play an influential role<br />
in the personal meaning of wellness and how men may want to<br />
improve their wellness.<br />
2. Men are loyal wellness consumers, as long as the activities<br />
offered have been designed with men’s demand triggers in mind.<br />
3. Men do not tend to open up easily about their state of wellness,<br />
or lack thereof. They need more encouragement, incentives, and<br />
support. This can be provided by their partners, but wellness<br />
professionals and brands can help by offering products and<br />
services designed for men.<br />
4. Creating and offering more gender-neutral<br />
services may help to increase men’s interest in<br />
wellness, but this approach could come with other challenges.<br />
<strong>Spa</strong> and wellness professionals may take the survey results as<br />
inspiration in many ways, for example:<br />
• Offering variations of existing treatments with stronger pressure<br />
and focusing on muscle relaxation, and trigger points.<br />
• Clearly and simply define the results and benefits of treatments,<br />
for example focusing on facts and cutting back on space-filling<br />
blurb.<br />
• Work closely with gyms, fitness centers, and fitness<br />
professionals to incorporate spa and wellness offerings into<br />
physical exercise programs.<br />
• Consider men’s partners as ambassadors who can bridge the<br />
gap between potential interest and the actual offerings of spas<br />
and wellness spaces. Partners, family, and friends can act as<br />
trusted influencers about spa treatments and wellness programs<br />
within their circle of influence.<br />
