My Mission
My mission at Be Free Fitness is to help people build a strong foundation of general health and fitness to positively and substantially impact all aspects of their life.
I do this using a three step process of Information, Implementation, and Customization.
With years of experience, education, and the information provided to us by each individual, we develop a comprehensive and personalized program.
From there, we implement the program, educating and guiding each person through the process. We ensure there’s a high level of understanding, quality, accountability, adherence, and consistency.
“If you work the process, the process works.”
Programs are always personalized to the individual, but life is dynamic and ever evolving. We continually work with the individual through the process, customizing things as they progress through their programs. Customization is also implemented as things in life change or when unforeseen events occur. We customize the program, the process, and whatever else is needed, to keep people on track and working towards accomplishing their goals.
