I started my fitness and wellness company after the events of 9/11 happened. It was the wake up call for me to get out of my comfort zone, and do something that I really have passion and purpose for. When you work with me, you work with somebody that cares deeply about the health and well-being of others.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Exercise Science from the California University of Pennsylvania. Additionally, I am an NASM Certified Personal Fitness Trainer, IFPA Lifestyle Fitness Coach, Pre and Post Natal Instructor, NASE Speed and Development Coach, Exercise Therapy for Seniors Instructor, and a TTI Behavioral Analyst. As a Certified Wellness Coach, my experience and background in the corporate world (Hospitality Management and Training, Employee Development Sales and Training) allows me to connect with and understand employees and executives to motivate them to tap personal energy and focus, become fully engaged, and reduce stressors. My Lifestyle Insights System is a unique way that I can help people and organizations take charge of their health and well-being. It’s an Owner’s Manual for the Body-Mind.

I work with a variety of bodies, shapes, sizes, ages, and fitness personalities. A fun and honest environment, community, and positive feedback and motivation are my core values. Living in the San Fernando Valley and working on a daily basis here gives me a chance to meet many people from many different industries, ethnicities, backgrounds, and experiences. I’ve learned so much along the way, such as people have a variety of personality styles and should be communicated to and motivated according to their unique style. People also have a variety of goals, wants, and needs. It’s not always just to look good on the beach that gets people to contact me. Sometimes it’s to lower cholesterol or stress, or to increase bone density that I get hired. Sometimes it’s to gain energy and endurance for work that clients work with me for. I’ve been hired to help make HIV levels undetectable, get senior citizens walking again after falls and sickness, thwart off side effects of medication such as prednisone, and re-establish range of motion and muscle mass after strokes and major surgeries. People with herniated or slipped discs also are succesful on my programs.
I am a proud indie author of fitness, diet and business books at www.Amazon.com/author/jackwitt and am a lifestyle blogger for www.nohoartsdistrict.com
I enjoy staying active in the local community as Past President of the Universal City/North Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and Past President of the Universal City/North Hollywood Jaycees.
