Our Story

Winston Well-Being is owned and operated by Michael Fitzpatrick with the enthusiastic support of his wife, Wendy. Michael and Wendy are outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking and backpacking. You may find them dancing the night away to one of their favorite artists at a local music venue. Keeping fit allows them to continue to enjoy their active lifestyle.

Michael is a life-long athlete. He played and coached soccer for over 45 years. He played rugby during college and went on to play at the club and select level for another decade. He remains active through bicycling, hiking, backpacking, walking and working out. This is challenging because his body has paid the price, suffering numerous injuries and severe arthritis. He had both knees replaced in 2019 and his right hip replaced in August of 2022. His commitment to flexibility, strength and overall fitness have allowed him to thrive even after these joint replacements. He embodies the Winston Well-Being mindset by living his best life.

Michael was an Occupational Health, Safety and Environmental Manager from 2006 to 2022. In this role he developed and implemented programs to increase safety and reduce employee’s exposure to workplace hazards. By focusing on ergonomics and behavior based strategies he reduced employee injuries and injury severity significantly throughout his career. From this experience he has developed an in-depth understanding of occupationally caused conditions and injuries.

“Coach Fitz” enjoyed a 20 year career as a youth and high school soccer coach and trainer. His coaching was just as focused on physical fitness as technical and tactical ability. He emphasized the benefits of flexibility, agility and strength. He knew these were lessons that would pay lifelong dividends for his players. As a high school coach Michael excelled at several schools over 13 years. His teams enjoyed consistent success throughout his career earning several honors and championships.

In 2002 Coach Fitz founded Triad United Soccer, Inc. a 501C3 non-profit dedicated to soccer outreach. The goal was to bring the beautiful game to the children of the community who were not getting the chance to play. They focused their  efforts on the ethnically diverse and low social economic status communities of the area. They strived to help these kids breakdown any barriers they faced in realizing their dream to play whether it be financial, racial or gender bias, transportation, etc.
