Company Description:
NY FitLife is a personal training service which focuses on improving the quality of life through the principles of better living via exercise and healthy eating choices. NY FitLife, founded by Joanna M. White, was officially founded in 2008 but the foundation of the company was a long time coming. Before she became a trainer, Joanna was a competitive cheerleader and a dancer. When her interests turned towards personal training, she became certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). In 2006, Joanna began her work at the most widely known health club in the world, Bally Total Fitness. Joanna would eventually strike out on her own, taking on clients in her spare time until she ultimately decided to solidify her intent by forming her own brand, NY FitLife. There Joanna specializes in weight loss, toning, strength training, kickboxing and athletic training for adults, teenagers and adolescents. Her experience as a NYC public school teacher showed her that a healthy and fit lifestyle starts at an early age. She trains clients one on one, in pairs and small groups. For added convenience to her clients, Joanna can perform her training indoors, outdoors and even at her client?s homes, which alleviates the stress and expense of a crowded gym. NY FitLife also offers dietary advice and planning; ?Don?t you DARE call it a diet?, says Joanna, ?its not a diet, it?s a lifestyle, being fit is being YOU. So get a life?.a FitLife?
