Community Wellness by Design

Community Wellness by Design by Mike Kneuer is a practical guide to building thriving wellness programs inside residential communities and homeowners associations. Drawing on more than two decades of experience in the health and fitness industry, Kneuer reveals how communities can transform underused fitness centers and scattered activities into fully integrated wellness ecosystems that improve resident health, engagement, and quality of life. The book explores how thoughtful wellness programming can strengthen community culture while increasing amenity utilization, resident satisfaction, and overall property value.

Designed for HOA board members, property managers, lifestyle directors, and wellness professionals, Community Wellness by Design provides a blueprint for creating programs that residents actually participate in and look forward to. More than just a fitness guide, the book demonstrates how wellness can become a cornerstone of modern community living. By combining expert instruction, strategic program design, and concierge-level service, communities can create healthier, more connected environments where residents thrive. Community Wellness by Design offers a step-by-step framework for any community looking to elevate its wellness offerings and create a culture of health that benefits residents for years to come.
