Purposefully small, so every engagement gets real attention

Mansell's team delivers movement, recovery and 1:1 wellbeing on site for Elementa Workspace, including coaching sessions, classes and treatment-room support, led by founder James Mansell. At Elementa's flagship site, 1 Great St Helens, the relationship went further: we worked with their architects and interior designers to help shape what the wellness spaces needed, then sourcing and installing the equipment.

Our standards comes from James’ elite-level performance training background, and it’s the bar every practitioner on the team is held to - one accountable practice, selective about who it works with, delivering for our clients.

The Mansell team

One practice, several disciplines.

Mansell is a vetted team of practitioners led by James Mansell - the same people on site, because consistency builds trust.

Strength & conditioning

One coaching standard across the team, so quality holds steady whoever’s leading the session.

Recovery & mobility

High quality therapists deliberately matched to the site’s needs.

Mind & behaviour

Practitioners who stay close enough to a site to catch pressure building before it turns into absence.

Consultancy

Led personally by James whenever a site is being designed or fitted out, applying the same standard to the space itself.

In our experience, workplace wellbeing amenities are underused.

The reason

Three ways it usually goes wrong

Wellbeing is just a decoration.

A subscription or a perk, launched once, mentioned in the induction pack, never checked again.

There's a lack of ownership.

HR holds the budget, facilities holds the space, and nobody checks whether it helps.

Point solutions, no through-line.

An app here, a discount there - none of it scoped to what your team actually needs.

Wellbeing matters, and it works when someone is accountable.

964,000 people took time off work last year because of stress made worse by their job. (HSE, 2024/25)

9.4 days average employee absence a year — up from 5.8 pre-pandemic, with mental health now the single biggest cause. (CIPD, 2025)

A full range of services

Every session, accountable to the same high standard.

Movement & classes

Strength, HIIT, mobility, yoga and Pilates.

Group sessions and 1:1 training, timetabled around how your floor actually works.

Recovery & treatments

Massage, mobility and 1:1 wellbeing support.

Chair-massage days, treatment-room bookings and resilience coaching, brought in as your team needs it.

Workshops & managed delivery

A single session, or the whole programme run for you.

Wellbeing talks and launch days for one site, or full timetabling, practitioner sourcing and reporting across several.

Scaling up? James also advises on wellness strategy, space design and mobilisation for sites planning a bigger move - scoped by project, not sold as a default. Ask about consultancy →

Proving the Mansell method

Science at work, in practice

Our client Elementa’s ‘Science at Work’ campaign argues a workspace earns its place by what it makes possible; for the business, and for the people in it. The Elevate programme, designed and delivered by Mansell, puts that thinking into practice daily: a practitioner who shows up, a session that clears someone’s head, a body that copes better with a demanding week. Live across two flagship sites since 2026 — the Elevate programme’s feedback tells the story.

Before

Wellbeing decisions got made after the space was already fitted out — nobody with the right expertise had signed off on any of it.

After

Now embedded across two Elementa sites, running on a plan built for the space and the people in it — delivered by the same practitioner from day one, not handed off to whoever’s free.
