Business Idea
Bringing elite athlete-level wellness to the heart of small business.
Michael Holmes founded Wield Well-Being to bridge the gap between elite sports medicine and everyday workplace health. Drawing from his experience providing holistic care to athletes for the Denver Broncos and the U.S. Olympic Committee, combined with a business foundation from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, Michael brings a high-performance “pro-sports model” to the professional world. His mission is to deliver comprehensive care—spanning nutrition, physical therapy, and mental health—to small businesses and nonprofits that have historically been overlooked by the wellness industry.
Wield Well-Being provides individualized health screenings and one-on-one coaching that measurably reduce burnout and turnover. The business has seen incredible early traction, maintaining a 100% client retention rate and significantly increasing employee engagement across all its partners. Looking ahead, Michael is focused on scaling this high-performance care through a digital platform, making preventive wellness affordable and accessible not only to small organizations but to individual community members throughout Indiana.
