Now more than ever, we are reminded how important it is to stay healthy. Not only is a healthy body our first line of defense against sickness, good health is also one of the key factors to living a long, happy, and active life.
But it’s also important to remember that good health is more than just physical fitness. True wellness is holistic — one that covers mind, body, and spirit. And that is this local’s community’s goal — to make holistic wellness accessible for all Filipinos.
GoWell is a wellness community that promotes holistic wellness through fitness, healthy eating, and living a balanced life. They offer informative and helpful content on health and wellness, give tips on nutrition and taking care of your mental health, share recipes and workout videos, and even hold monthly community workouts which are currently online. These perks are available for all members of their community, and anyone can sign up for free.
GoWell was launched in 2016Â and is the health and wellness advocacy of Sun Life Philippines.

For many Filipinos, though the desire to get healthy is there, the notion that achieving wellness is expensive holds them back. After all, studio memberships alone can be a bit costly, especially for Filipinos on a budget, and they think that all healthy food is pricey.
But that isn’t always the case. GoWell aims to simplify the journey for Pinoys by being the one-stop resource online for free workouts, accessible recipes, and tips on mindfulness and nutrition.
If you go to the GoWell website, you’ll see that their resources come from local wellness and fitness experts, and their fitness classes are all led by certified instructors. The past months in quarantine, GoWell has continued their monthly community workouts, but moved online. They also have workout videos available on their website and YouTube channel, with even a special WFH (Workout From Home) series. The classes range from HIIT, yoga, pilates, simple stretches, and more.
