How does your business help those with chronic disease/medical conditions or who need pre & postnatal care?
Tri-City Wellness Center is a state-of-the-art wellness center focused on improving the health of the community through innovative programming and continuous support and education for members. Whether people are simply looking to live more actively, or seeking out support in living with a chronic disease or medical condition, this is a place where they can establish habits for healthy living, an exceptional member experience, and most importantly, to learn and implement a new and effective way to manage their health.
While we don’t specialize in or have specific pre & post natal care programming, the Center’s wide range of fitness offerings and luxurious amenities create a welcoming place for new and expectant mothers to take care of themselves and feel their best before and after pregnancy.

What is a favorite memory of yours working with someone who had a health challenge or disability?
We’re most proud of our work with the Lucky 13 program, which provides an opportunity for many to confront, overcome and work through health challenges and disabilities. Lucky 13 is a free Tri-City Wellness Center sponsored training program for the Tri-City Wellness Center Carlsbad Marathon and Half Marathon.
From Paul Carey, Lucky 13 program coordinator:
“We always have a great pool of applicants to choose from, but this year, we had some really incredible stories. It’s inspiring to witness these journeys firsthand. Running a half marathon is a feat that not everyone can say they’ve done, especially not at 67 years old or after beating a cancer diagnosis.”
Does your business have a motto, if so, what is it?
One of our mottos is: “Find It All Under One Roof” to emphasize the wide-range of offerings here at the Center to support health and wellness.
What would you like to see change/develop/emerge in the future of healthcare and the fitness industry?
As both the healthcare and fitness industries partner together, we’re moving the dial on preventative care and lifestyle management. People who are physically active live longer and have lower risks for heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, and some cancers (Center for Disease Control). By supporting the health and wellness of individuals, we can cause a ripple effect in creating healthier families and even communities at large.
And what are you doing to make this happen?
Patient care is a team effort, and our team of fitness and wellness experts at Tri-City Wellness Center is a valuable resource for medical providers and patients to implement into their continued care and lifestyle management plans.
“At Tri-City Wellness Center, we believe that the physical results are just the beginning,” says Mark Metcalf, Tri-City Wellness Center General Manager. “Our training programs were created to help you realize what you’re capable of. We believe in strong hearts to center a healthier mind, body and soul. When you achieve more than what you ever thought possible, good things happen all around.”
Our fully integrated health and wellness campus sets the stage for a cutting-edge approach focused on preventive health management, and safe and effective disease management–for people in all stages of their health and wellness journey. At the core of our approach is an exclusive program called the Health Creation Process, complimentary to all members. We help establish personalized, progressive goals and fitness programming based on where you are now and where you see yourself in the future. The most unique and valuable aspect is the access to a support system throughout the lifetime of your membership. The path to health is a lifelong commitment, with challenges, change and success along the way. Our program supports our members along every step on their path.
