Drew would like to introduce people to all of the life changing health services Wellfitt can offer. Wellfitt’s mission is to help people live longer, stronger, healthier lives by making long lasting changes in their lifestyles. Wellfitt targets professionals in the 35-55 range, but they try to inspire as many peo- ple as they can. People in this age range share many similar characteristics. They have been out of school working on their careers for about 20 years, have gotten married and have started a family with young children. At this point they often feel a lack of energy, not quite as strong and have put on about 20 pounds from their school days. Drew said it’s very important to get the family involved in fitness. Drew elaborated that it is essential to educate parents so that health and fitness habits can be passed down to the next generation for a healthi- er population. Everything these parents do has an exponential effect. Not only are they building themselves up to enjoy a long life with their families, but the kids are very impressionable and can develop the same lifestyle habits as their parents for no other reason than because that is what has been modeled for them at home. Drew mentioned that there is a lot of information available in magazines and on social media, but people tend to get into things without guidance and they either get hurt, frustrated or burnt out. “That’s where they fall short,” he said. “The most important thing people need to know is why am I doing what I am doing and why is it important to help me in reaching my goals.” This is where Wellfitt comes in. Well- fitt prides themselves on education and best practices and has very high standards for their trainers. “We help people clear through the noise,” said Drew. Making health information and resources as acces- sible as possible is one of their goals. The application of this knowledge to develop customized solutions that safely and effec- tively deliver results to the client is where the skill comes in. Drew’s desire to help others stemmed from his own experiences with health and weight loss. “I felt susceptible to the traps most people fall into,” he said. After mak- ing many of the changes that he applies to his clients he realized he would be happier and better fulfilled by helping others realize the same benefits. This life mission ulti- mately had led to the formation of Wellfitt . Wellfitt is a new business that provides comprehensive and unparalleled wellness lifestyle services. They help people develop strength and energy through services such as personal training, small group training, and nutritional coaching. They also help clients with recovery and restorative processes through services including mas- sage and meditation. Reinforcing the lifestyle practice includes a variety of events that help return fun and purpose to all efforts such as run groups, obstacle course groups and other events like a Kickball ‘n Que tournament. These activities help bring back the play in people’s lives. People interested in their services may take advantage of either in-home or in-stu- dio training services depending on their lifestyle preferences. They currently have participating studios for the in-studio train- ing located in Bedminster and Bernards- ville. To get started, there is a New Client Package that they offer which includes a free consultation, a comprehensive assess- ment and four training sessions. Drew said that this helps in terms of establishing the best foundation. “It takes a few sessions to see where the person is at and to acclimate them to a new program,” said Drew. He explained that the goal is a long-term plan where people can realize the full extent of what they are capable of. Drew stated, “What makes people most successful is making changes that are lifestyle oriented.” For more information about any of the services Wellfitt provides, people are encouraged to call Drew for more details at 844-WELLFIT (844-935-5348) or go to the website at www.wellfitt.com to learn more about ways to get healthy in 2018.
