I can honestly say that my success is primarily thanks to the support of Get Healthy Now, and especially the wellness coaching program. It has given me the mental support and encouragement I’ve needed, which has boosted my confidence throughout this past year tremendously!

Glenn Bossmeyer, Former Associate University Counsel (HSC)
Meet Glenn Bossmeyer, who was a UofL employee from 1998 to 2016! He enjoys reading, hiking, listening to music, and watching horse racing!
In the last six months, Glenn has utilized the group fitness classes and is a regular at the noon hour class. “I have been able to attend a week day fitness class four days a week,” he said. Paired with this consistent exercise routine, Glenn has also made key adjustments to his nutrition. “Principally, dropping down on red meat and increasing fish. Also, I avoid most fried foods.”
Utilizing the GHN Wellness Center has helped keep Glenn on the right track to accomplishing his goals. “I want to improve my endurance, which will help increase my physical activity outside of the gym with my dogs, yard work, or even home exercising,” he said. Glenn’s favorite offering at GHN is the InCycle Express and Ab Lab classes. “Mostly, it makes me feel good. I feel the best I have in 20 years,” he said. “Also, since retirement, it gives the day a focus – they (group classes) gets me out of the house and I can organize other tasks around them.”
Glenn’s “Bucket List” includes visiting the Civil War battlefields that he has yet to see, like Shiloh and Vicksburg. “Perhaps cruise the Northwest Passage now that it is feasible,” he added as a potential Bucket List His advice for staying healthy? “There really isn’t any magic formula for staying healthy, just what has been drummed into me since Get Healthy Now started – regular exercise and a reasonably healthy diet.” Congratulations, Glenn!
