My Vision for the Fitness and Wellness Industry
Too often in the wellness industry, experts work in isolation. We amass knowledge on a certain topic or trend and, in an attempt to position ourselves as the leading authority, we hoard the information from one another. And, to be blunt, this practice not only hurts our industry, it hurts our clients.
The only way we are able to make a difference in the health, fitness and wellness of our society is by working together.
I have been in the fitness industry for more than 15 years and have seen so many applications, certifications, and areas of expertise play a roll in our evolution. But, at this point in my career, I don’t really care who knows what or how much. I care about how to get the information and expertise needed for the client standing in front of me.
Even as a trainer with years of experience, numerous certifications and a diverse array of clients, there are times when what the client needs goes beyond my scope of expertise and I feel that another professional would be better suited to fulfill their needs (massage or physical therapist, Registered Dietician…)
As dedicated to my craft as I am, I cannot possibly be an expert at everything. So, I look to surround myself with professionals who are better than me in areas that are not my expertise. I believe it is only through creating a network of fellow coaches and trainers that we can truly help our clients reach their vision for health and wellness.
I can’t tell you how many times I have worked with trainers, physicians or therapists who would never think about referring clients to another industry professional. The fear of the client not coming as often, or leaving altogether is too frightening. But, isn’t that the point? Aren’t we trying to educate people to keep themselves well and, eventually, learn to care for themselves?
One of my goals as a trainer, coach and guide is to suggest other professionals that can give my clients assistance and added support when needed, where I am not best. In the coming weeks, you’ll learn more about my Vision of Collaboration and my network of dedicated wellness professionals. We’re working together to cultivate ideas, and amass solutions for the betterment of our clients – not our egos.
Vision on Nutrition
The thought of biting down into a fast food hamburger or drive thru taco doesn’t really do it for me. But, it might not be for the reasons you’d think. I don’t indulge in junk food anymore not because I deprive myself or am on a special “diet” or even because I think fast food is bad. When I think about grabbing the junk food, I just remember the last time I ate those foods and how I felt afterward.
VIsion Nutrition
My eating lifestyle has evolved and did not change overnight. The time came when the negative effects junk food had on my body took over any enjoyment of the food at all. On special occasions I certainly indulge, but not to the point of over indulgence. I eat what I feel like and stop when I’m full.
Vision Nutrition
I don’t believe in “good” or “bad” foods, fad diets, liquid meals, low carb plans, gluten free or low calories as weight loss solutions. Yes, these plans make you lose “weight” quickly, but in more cases than not, you gain it back just as fast.
My vision of nutrition is for it to be a lifelong education, journey and approach on how you fuel and take care of your body. I believe in mindful eating and taking awareness on what nutrients our bodies need to fuel our wellbeing. I believe we should simply make healthy choices.
When I say education I mean educate yourself on what makes you feel healthier and at your best. Keep on the journey and find an approach that works for you and that you can maintain life long. I want to be your “guide by the side” on this journey, ensuring that the steps you take a healthy and will keep you well for the long term.
“I love Natania’s approach to food and nutrition. For me she provided a
meal plan that was delicious, filling and easy to follow. I felt like
I had a lot of food to eat daily and did not feel deprived. I am
happier having a meal plan that I can follow and makes me feel great.
I love knowing that following Natania’s regiment enables me to keep my
weight down while still eating and feeling satiated.”

ViPR Fit – A Full Body Workout for Personal Training Clients
Every now and then a piece of equipment comes along that makes training more productive and extra fun. That’s exactly how I feel about ViPR. ViPR is a tool that I use as part of my own training routines, as well as with clients. Its applications are limitless and useful for beginners or experts. I’ll even be using it as I prepare myself for next year’s World Games.
Probably the thing that most attracted me to ViPR was that it allows freedom of movement. My clients know that I like to mix it up when it comes to training, and that I don’t want them to feel tied down to a machine or facility. There are examples all over this blog – from Run Club, to on-the-go tips – that illustrate my belief that fitness can be achieved anywhere. ViPR encourages movement in my clients and movement means happy, healthy people.
More importantly, exercise involving total body movement works the entire body, not just isolated parts. Six pack abs are great. Bulging biceps might be your thing. But true wellness comes from the wellness of the entire body. In real life, our parts work together to walk, run, jump, stretch and play. So, it’s important to train the body for life.
I love ViPR, but there are lots of tools out there that are a great fit for specific clients. What’s yours?
