I'm Jakob, originally from Austria.
My background combines psychology, holistic health, wellness, capital markets, and years of living across Asia and Europe.
I'm interested in the places where health, lifestyle, community, business models, and traditional vitality systems meet.
The New Health Club is my field map for understanding the operators, models, and relationships shaping this category.
How wellness-led spaces make money: membership, hospitality, real estate, franchising, and hybrids.
The teams, founders, and brands building the next generation of physical wellness infrastructure.
Capital moves, expansions, partnerships, openings, and shifts in consumer behavior.
Which cities are becoming wellness nodes — and why certain places compound faster than others.
How spaces build belonging, culture, and identity beyond facilities and programming.
Emerging models, adjacency plays, and the next wave of wellness-led infrastructure.
I'd love to hear about it. Whether you want visibility, to be part of the index, or just want to connect — reach out.
