W e believe that a healthy lifestyle is a prerequisite to doing amazing work. We’ve seen so many people we admire from social entrepreneurs, to non-profiteers, to educators put so much into their work that they have nothing left to give themselves. So we set out to help these people get refocused on taking care of themselves so they can continue to serve others more effectively. We deeply believe that living well grants us the freedom to do more good in the world.
Our mission is to increase the ability of impact professionals to create positive change. We do this by designing health and fitness initiatives for the people who move our world forward. We amplify good by helping these remarkable people move more, eat better, and establish healthier habits.
Our system is based on enduring, meaningful and authentic principles that help you not only shape a strong body but also health positive behaviors that last you a lifetime.
Our Values
- Enduring – We don’t chase short-term solutions. We value long term sustainable changes over short term ones.
- Meaning - We believe that health and fitness needs to be purposeful. Meaning is about what health and fitness allows you to do for yourself and for others.
- Authentic – Wellness shouldn’t be a one size fits all ordeal. The things you choose to do should be authentic to you and time tested.
- Clarity - We all live in a miasma of misinformation and fear mongering around living well. Curating and teaching what’s important instead of what’s new or trendy is what we’re all about.
- Shared Value – We are committed to increasing the overall positive change in the world for people and the planet. We aren’t aiming to extract value but to create it and share it with others freely.
- Shape Behavior – We don’t just shape bodies, we also shape long-term habits. Health positive behaviors help us stay healthy for the rest of our lives, so we focus on building them.
- Be Human - We’re focused on making our experience as human as possible. We want to make those we work with better off in human terms, healthier & happier.
