CFFI Mission Statement
“Transforming the physical well-being of individuals through personal training/wellness programs, emphasizing lifestyle changes, through strength training and cardiovascular conditioning, along with weight management by proper nutrition planning.”
Exercise/Nutrition is key to being healthy, and proactive against disease. While other companies may use one element to address the problem, an integrated approach with proven results from a test market is recommended. CFFI with 29 years of helping people achieve optimum health is highly sought after. In addition, adding Wellness Coaching from Marvelous Light Consulting, Diabetes Prevention Life Style Coaching and Healthy Living Fitness Instructor from Kaiser Permanente makes for a total package as it relates to addressing and improving the wellness in our community. Knowledge is power, combined with everyday living and practicing the life, actually doing the exercise/nutrition and learning “real world” what works and what sounds good on paper but doesn’t work, makes my approach unique.
