In 2026, the modern athletic club is so much more than working out alone or even with a trainer. In the latest Healthspan Collective Salon at the Monarch Athletic Club in Play Del Vista, the multifaceted nature of a 21st-century luxury health and wellness experience was revealed to a vibrant, intimate gathering of longevity enthusiasts. Entitled “How To Live To 100+,” the event continued a long line of happenings and experiences designed by Elias Arjan and his creative team to promote cutting-edge updates in health and longevity.
Reflecting the holistic paradigm shift across the longevity movement, the invigorating message of this salon was clear and powerful: If you want to take care of yourself and foster an extended healthspan, you need to look at the whole picture because everything is interconnected.
Indeed, nothing works in a vacuum, and such a perspective is the guiding light behind the vision that led to the creation of modern athletic clubs. Speaking with Elias Arjan, a healthspan advocate and longevity researcher, Dr. Ryan Greene shared the story behind his inspiration for founding the Monarch Athletic Clubs.
Working beyond the limitations of Western medicine and pharmacology, Dr. Greene wanted to create a comprehensive health ecosystem where people could invest in lifelong wellness. By combining precision, innovation, and collaboration, he aimed to develop a thriving community of like-minded individuals who truly believe in a multifaceted approach to living longer and staying healthy.
As the Chief Community Officer of the Healthspan Collective, Elias Arjan knew that Dr. Greene’s vision was in sync with what he was developing in his own community. Hence, bringing the two communities together in a Healthspan Salon experience made perfect sense. After all, as expressed in their mission statement, “The Healthspan Collective is an evidence-based, multi-expert ecosystem dedicated to helping people extend their healthy years through trusted knowledge, community, and experiential learning.”
When it comes to combining community with experiential learning, Dr. Greene is walking the same path of connection and illumination as the Healthspan Collective. As Dr Greene expressed in his talk with Elias Arjan, “What is special about Monarch Athletic Clubs is that health isn’t treated as a series of separate problems. Members are supported by a professional team that looks at movement, medicine, nutrition, and sleep together — because you don’t just need another gym, you need a team.”
Indeed, the Healthspan Salons are all about opening the doors for Healthspan Collective members. It introduces them to teams of experts in the Longevity Field that can help them live healthier, better lives. The Healthspan Salons offer a true opportunity to improve your life and the lives of your loved ones through such expert feedback.
A perfect example is Dr. Emily Splichal, the CEO and co-founder of Naboso, who has developed innovative technology to strengthen and support the very foundation of human beings: our feet. Naboso offers the next evolution in foot stimulation. With obvious care and brilliant precision, Dr. Splichal illuminates the connection between the feet and the brain. She is another reason to embrace the Healthspan Salon experience.
