About
About Healthwise.
An exercise and lifestyle management studio in Clonmel since 2011, for people who want to get stronger, stay well, or get moving again after a health event. Three programmes, all coached in groups, with a coach watching every session.
The idea
"Our business is all about adding years to your life and life to your years."
DJ opened Healthwise in 2011 as an exercise and lifestyle management studio: medical exercise for people with chronic conditions, exercise and nutrition programmes, and corporate wellness. In 2013 he added Heartwise, cardiac care for people who have finished hospital rehabilitation and have nowhere to go next.
The approach has not changed. Every programme starts with a conversation, is written for the person rather than the class, and is coached closely enough that nothing is missed.
