[HIGH FIVE] We gave a High Five to Jason Greenwald (@Jason_Max_Fit), Group Fitness Manager at Equinox in Washington, DC.

WellcommDC: Where do you work…out?

Jason Greenwald: Equinox.

WDC: What does “wellness” mean to you?

JG: Wellness is a process that is personal and different for everyone. It is about making healthy and positive choices that help you grow physically and mentally. Wellness leads to happiness.

WDC: What motivates you to take care of your wellness?

JG: I am motivated by a lot: friends, family, and life, but I try to stay self-motivated and take care of my wellness so I can feel healthy, happy, and able to do the things that are fulfilling to me.

WDC: What are your wellness goals over the next twelve months?

JG: My goals are to start lifting heavier weights and building muscle. I take a lot of yoga and cycling classes and want to try and change things up and incorporate heavier weights in my workout.

WDC: What advice would you share with someone looking to change their wellness routine?

JG: Start small and try not to focus on the outcome. Results will come with consistency. It's important to be patient and kind with yourself. Wellness is a process that takes time and effort.
