Onlife relocates to larger 55,000-square-foot space in Brentwood

Personal health coaching company Onlife Health, Inc. has moved into new offices specifically designed to foster positive living and workplace wellness among the company's employees. Onlife consolidated its three separate offices into one larger 55,000-square-foot space when it relocated to the Horizon Center in Brentwood, Tenn., this month, giving the company more capacity for continued growth.

“Ultimately, by providing health coaching and onsite wellness resources to our own employees, the Onlife team will be able to offer the best-possible service and support to our clients”

Onlife CEO Chris Hunter said, "Not only will the Onlife team enjoy the improved efficiencies in workflow that come with consolidating offices, but we will all benefit from the workplace wellness features incorporated into the design. As a personal health coaching company, we are proud to spend our time at work helping people make lasting changes in their lives for improved health. The new office space is consistent with our mission; we are 'practicing what we preach' about positive living and healthy workplaces."

The new Onlife corporate offices were designed by award-winning architect Thom Meek, AIA, whose designs have included the Tennessee Performing Arts Center and original Pinnacle National Bank headquarters in Nashville, among other local, national and international clients. The floor plan and design elements of Onlife's offices were configured with wellness, flexibility and productivity top of mind. For example, the office space includes low-profile cubicles and amorphous walls so natural light is not obstructed, allowing for an overall feel of lightness and well-being.

According to Hunter, because roughly one-third of our waking hours are spent at work, employers have a tremendous opportunity to promote healthy living. By providing their employees with an environment that supports health and well-being, employers can increase productivity and improve the health status of their population. "Ultimately, by providing health coaching and onsite wellness resources to our own employees, the Onlife team will be able to offer the best-possible service and support to our clients," Hunter continued.

With its relocation to one of Nashville's healthiest workspaces, Onlife offers its employees a number of onsite wellness features and healthy, active events:

• Indoor walking tracks on each floor for lunchtime/work break walks
• A corporate fitness center with cardio equipment, a weight room and a group fitness room for yoga, Tai Chi and other exercise classes
• Classes and seminars led by Onlife's own clinical specialists to help employees achieve their personal best; topics include stress management, healthy eating at work, healthy lifestyle choices and smoking cessation
• An employee training and meeting area with retractable walls for small to large (200+) gatherings
• Healthy corporate events, such as dodge ball and Wii Fit tournaments, water balloon flings, marathon runs and healthy holiday recipe contests
• Quiet rooms and a private room for nursing mothers
• Healthy vending machine options and healthy meals at company meetings
• Video panels throughout the office broadcasting healthy messaging
• Glass-front refrigerators in the Onlife break rooms to encourage healthy eating

Additionally, Onlife employees may participate in the company's health coaching program, which includes a personal health assessment and wellness report, a biometric screening, and a dedicated health coach to assist them in creating a plan for healthier living. Employees can also log in to Onlife's customer portal for secure communications with health coaches, identification and selection of targeted health improvement goals, and unlimited access to online progress trackers and health tools. The portal facilitates peer and group motivational support by leveraging popular social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

The new headquarters includes environment-friendly aspects as well, such as recycling centers and other green programs spearheaded by Onlife's internal "planet on" team.
