Not everyone qualifies for this service.
When you call, we will ask you just a few brief questions to determine whether this program makes sense for you.
It is important to answer appropriately and accurately so that neither your time or ours is wasted. If we determine together that The Fitness Nomad KickStart Program makes sense for you, we will schedule your first appointment.
