Wellness Coaching Start-up

According to the latest statistics by the CDC, more than one-third of U.S. adults (34.9%) are obese--and this rate is currently increasing! Worse yet, obesity affects us all, both directly and indirectly.  If you or any of your family or friends are obese, you understand the hardships of dealing with diseases like heart disease and diabetes.  As a nation, obesity hits everyone's wallets in the forms of higher taxes and healthcare costs.  Some blame obesity on genetics.  Some say it's laziness.  For me, I am a firm believer that it boils down to information overload/misinformation.   Why information overload and misinformation?  That's because I used to be one of the individuals included in the obesity statistic; that is, until I changed my diet and lifestyle.  I took it upon myself to educate myself on health and nutrition and ultimately changed my life around by losing almost 100 pounds!  The media is flooded with what you should and shouldn't eat and new studies revealing "superfoods" or foods that are “actually hurting us more than helping us.”  Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?  Without the correct knowledge base, many of these studies can lead a person down the wrong path towards eating all of the wrong foods and being overweight or unhealthy.  After my transformation, I decided to devote my life to health and fitness and make it my life's mission to help others also improve their overall wellness.  I achieved my certifications for both Personal Training and Life Coaching before deciding to quit my desk job and establish my own Wellness and Fitness Coaching company.  Utilizing a combination of my personal training and life coaching skills, I will be able to educate my clients and implement the proper fitness and diet regimen to lose the weight, as well as, coach them to establish the mindset needed to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. Establishing the company and getting my name out there so that I can help others become healthier does have its start-up costs; which, is why I am asking for a modest $4,000 to go mainly towards marketing along with other start-up costs.   I thank you all in advance for your donations!  If you are interested in discussing my business or mission with me further, please feel free to email me at [email protected].
