The Team
The Glass House team is part of a bigger picture. It’s not a just a job, but a way of thinking—a healthier outlook on life.
Society is changing, but unhealthy living is still culturally accepted and so is constant stress. Escaping is difficult. This is the reason for the Glass House.
Our team, with their collective expertise in nutrition, fitness, wellness, and healthy living can give you everything you need to break free. Begin again, anew.
