Human-first coaching for Salt Lake Valley apartment communities and companies — functional strength classes, zero intimidation, and a coach who actually knows your name.
Currently coaching on-site at Podium (Lehi) and weekly classes at Xcel Fitness (Holladay).
Every program is built around the same idea — low-pressure, beginner-friendly movement that gets people talking to each other, not just working out next to each other.
Turn an underused clubhouse gym into the reason residents renew their lease.
An on-site coach who becomes part of your culture — not just a line item on a benefits sheet.
Private coaching for people who want a plan built around their exact goals.
I'm Ryan Hignell, founder of DSGN Wellness and a coach based in Salt Lake City. For more than two decades I've worked across personal training, group fitness, corporate wellness, and performance coaching — as a concierge trainer, a class instructor, a facility owner and operator, and now the on-site wellness coach at Podium, a 1,000+ employee tech company in Lehi, plus weekly classes at Xcel Fitness in Holladay.
My class style is simple: functional movement anyone can do on day one, coaching that feels more like a conversation than a command, and a room where the newest person feels as welcome as the regular. No previous experience, no special equipment, no outfit change required. People leave feeling clearer and stronger — not destroyed.
Utah's apartment communities and companies have something most places don't — a culture built around the outdoors, movement, and showing up for each other. DSGN Wellness exists to bring that same energy inside the clubhouse and the office, through classes, cohorts, and community events like Sweat & Social.
"Residents don't talk about their apartment's gym — they talk about the class where they met their neighbors."
