Increasing your level of fitness is very important. Equally important is ensuring that you are on the right path and that you set yourself up for the best possible success. A personal trainer can be instrumental in the attainment of your fitness goals.
Personal training provides the 3 most important things in goal realization:
Structure, Instruction and Accountability
A personal trainer provides structure by scheduling regular appointments, developing an exercise program that is safe, efficient and effective and helping you build healthy habits. Motivation and encouragement from a trainer help you along the way when things get difficult.
Instruction is provided through careful direction and personal attention. A knowledgeable trainer will help you by telling you what to do, demonstrating how to do it and answering any questions you may have, ensuring your safety and targeting your specific concerns.
A personal trainer helps you to hold yourself accountable to the schedule you have set. Oftentimes, we are more likely to do something if we know someone is expecting us to do it and is there to help. You won’t want to let yourself or your trainer down.
Fit4LA also provides a mobile training service that brings the workout to you. Whether you want to work out in the comfort and privacy of your own home, on the set, at a local park or on your lunch hour, Fit4LA’s mobile training will make it happen. We bring the equipment, you bring your desire.

Your diet is very important to the attainment of your fitness goals. Most people do not know how to eat in order to achieve success. With so many fad diets, it is difficult to determine what is right for you. People usually go on strict diets and deprive themselves of the foods they love, only to fail, disappointing themselves and regain the weight they may have lost by dieting.
The better way is to develop a plan that you can stick to, that does not deprive you, but rather guides you to your goal through an effective and realistic process.
Fit4LA uses a combination of scientific research and human compassion to design a meal plan that is certain to lead to your success. Meal plans are developed using proven strategies for weight loss or muscle gain and, most importantly, your input.
Meal planning is also available for special dietary concerns such as vegetarian, lacto-ovo vegan, diabetic, restricted sodium, low cholesterol and many more.

In order to address the growing epidemic of obesity and its subsequent effect on American revenue, Fit4LA has developed an exciting and rewarding program for employers and employees alike – Fit4Work. Fit4Work develops, plans, designs, implements and manages a workplace fitness solution for your company. Countless studies and statistics have shown that “fitness in the workplace” programs have created a significant benefit for both employers and employees by helping company members increase their overall level of fitness, decrease their overall level of stress and increase the company’s overall productivity and profitability.
Fit4LA seeks to apply the Fit4Work program to address the important health concerns of its employees, resulting in happier, healthier and more productive employees, with fewer sick days and workers’ compensation claims.
More productive employees and fewer health-related expenses for the employer make for a more profitable business. The best part is Fit4Work can be included as part of employees’ benefits package, allowing it to be paid for with pre-tax dollars!
Our research time and time again confirms the benefits of healthier, fitter employees. They have fewer and lower long-term medical claims, they are absent less, their disability costs are lower, and their perceived personal productivity and job per life satisfaction levels are higher."
- Peter Soderberg, President Johnson & Johnson HMI.
Problem:
Health problems in the workplace are increasing at a dramatic rate, due to too little physical activity. As a result, business owners are fitting the bill.
The combined factors of decreased health due to lack of activity and increased stress due to job performance pressures, create an environment that is not conducive to the longevity and well-being of most employees.
Most American workers are overweight and/or out of shape.
• Being overweight and/or out of shape causes health issues (low back pain, stress, hypertension, diabetes, strokes, etc).
• Health issues cause employees to get injured on the job and/or miss work.
• Absentee employees decrease a company’s productivity and injured employees drain a company’s workers compensation resources, both of which affect your bottom line.
American Industry loses $32 billion dollars and 132 million work days every year because of employee's premature deaths that are associated with cardio-vascular disease (high blood pressure, heart stroke, diabetes, and obesity) – all fitness related illnesses. Billions more are lost as a result of lowered productivity as a result of sickness and disability.
Solution:
Fit4LA introduces Fit4Work, a state-of-the-art fitness program that brings about fitter, healthier and more productive employees.
Implementing a fitness program in the workplace has been shown to help employees get in better shape, resulting in fewer health issues, consequently fewer missed work days and fewer workers comp claims, creating a more productive, efficient and profitable business.
In a year long study of 884 employees who took part in a workplace fitness program, those who exercised as infrequently as once a week as part of the program cut their average number of sick days in half.
-Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine
Why It Works
Fit4Work transcends traditional workplace exercise programs by creating a unique, yet proven approach to diet and exercise programming. Fit4Work saves the employer time and money and provides outstanding service to the employees. Fit4Work is customized to cater to the individual style of your company.
Provides employees:
• Flexibility - Ability to exercise before work, after work or during a break.
• Convenience – Having a fitness center on location eliminates the hassle of travel.
• Structure – Online programming helps employees schedule their workouts
• Instruction – Online support assists employees with proper exercise techniques.
• Accountability – Check in system will hold employees responsible for exercising.
Also boosts morale and creates a community
Saves the company:
• Money gives employees full access to a fitness expert without the lofty consultation fees.
• Time by allowing employees to work out on their personal time instead of company time.
• Resources Increases employee morale and retention
Johnson & Johnson reported that employees had taken 13% fewer sick days the first year of their involvement in an organized exercise program and fewer sick days by the second year.
The Canadian Life Assurance Company found that turnover among fitness program participants was 32.4% lower over a seven year period compared with non-participants.
- Canadian Journal of Health, Peter Leatt, et al
How It Works
Fit4LA will consult with the owner, employees and facility management in order to create a vision for your company’s Fit4Work program. Each component of the program will be designed, planned and implemented, from facility installation to online programming for employees’ exercise and nutrition plans.
Studies have shown that people who are motivated properly assume more responsibility for their own health when they are engaged in an exercise program. A report that appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that a vigorous bout of exercise in the middle of the day improved mental alertness and productivity for 4 to 5 hours afterwards.

FIT 4 L.A. ’S “FIT 4 SCHOOL” PROGRAM
Mission: To bring a fresh perspective on Exercise and Nutrition by incorporating students’ current interests (music, television, fashion, internet, etc) into a highly interactive and challenging educational experience that uses real-life applications and corresponds to topics being covered in other classes; thereby easing the burden on teachers, increasing involvement of parents, and accelerating the fitness levels of the students.

We are all aware of the problem, the statistics on childhood obesity are overwhelming, especially in California. The solution is to employ a Physical Education Program (PEP) that will give students the tools to prepare them for a lifelong healthy lifestyle.
Physical Education is a crucial part of the learning process. It has an effect on a child’s physical, mental, and social well-being. A positive learning experience in physical education will be a contributing factor in all aspects of life – the child who is well educated physically is likely to become a healthy adult who is motivated to remain healthy. Physical Education is the only subject, which by the very nature of its content has the potential to affect how a person will feel every moment of every day for the rest of his or her life.
Today’s brain, mind, and body research establishes significant links between movement and learning. Studies have shown that people who are motivated properly assume more responsibility for their own health when they are engaged in an exercise program. A report that appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that a vigorous bout of exercise in the middle of the day improved mental alertness and productivity for 4 to 5 hours afterwards.
Dr. Gavriel Salvendy (of Purdue University) tested decision-making capabilities of 80 people over a nine month period. At the end of the test period, the fitness level of the exercisers had risen 22%, while the ability to make complex decisions had increased 70% over that of the non exercisers." - Robert J Brosmer, Deborah L Walton, Health and High Performance.
Fit students are more productive, more creative and more competitive. Research time and time again confirms the benefits of healthier, fitter student. They have fewer long-term medical issues, are absent less and exercise helps boosts morale.
Fit 4 L.A.’s Fit 4 School PEP is the answer to the concern of how to keep students happy, healthy and productive. Fit 4 School programs can be customized to suit the needs of your students and teachers and remain flexible enough to change with you. Led by fitness professional, Lanré Idewu (C.P.T., B.S. Biochemistry), Fit 4 School® brings the gym to your school. Through informative and exciting group sessions, your students will be on the way to increasing their level of fitness in no time – and will have fun while they do it.
Lanré has developed a system that delivers quick and effective results. The system utilizes a cross-disciplinary approach, from Pilates to Resistance Training, to maximize efficiency and bring about happier and healthier students. Programming is commensurate to the ability levels of the students.
The program is agreed upon by the trainer and school administration and may look something like this:
Introduction – Fundamentals of fitness, Benefits of fitness
Explanation – Specific exercises, Muscles involved, Importance of exercise
Demonstration – General and specific exercises, volunteers will be selected to promote participation
Aptitude Assessment – Student baseline, to determine “starting point” and aid in need-specific program development
Identification – Students in need of additional support, teams will be formed, captains and/or partners will be assigned to promote continued peer-support
Assignments – Take home exercises may be distributed, reinforcing PEP curriculum
Practical Application – Continuous drills of specific exercises to build ability levels

In this sedentary, society our muscles and joints can become very stiff and painful. Assisted stretching and massage can help relieve pain and stiffness as well as reduce stress, relax you and promote an overall state of well-being. An increasing number of research studies show stretch and massage reduce heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and increases endorphins (enhancing your mood).
Although therapeutic massage does not increase muscle strength, it can stimulate weak, inactive muscles and, thus, partially compensate a lack of exercise and inactivity. It also can prevent injury and hasten recovery from exercise or injury.
Fit4LA employs certified massage therapists in a range of disciplines, Swedish, Thai, Deep Tissue and many other massage techniques.
