The Feeling You Get From Being Fit
Founded by a Master of Social Work with certifications in personal training, health coaching, and meditation, Fit Esteem is an intergenerational fitness and wellness company dedicated to helping teens and adults of all ages and abilities live healthier lifestyles.
Exactly where you are right now is the perfect place to start.
We promote healthy living across the lifespan through fitness and health coaching, classes, workshops, and mindfulness-based programs, delivered directly to individuals and through partnerships with residential facilities, corporations and community-based organizations. Our children's division, Fit Esteem Kids, brings this same approach into elementary schools.
We specialize in creating original programming that incorporates the 5 major components of fitness and health. Our programs, classes, workshops and coaching also incorporate elements of arts, culture and entertainment.
We meet our clients where they are because that's the perfect place to start, whatever stage of the journey they're in. That's true physically too: we're based in Iowa, work virtually with clients everywhere, and travel for corporate partnerships and speaking engagements across the country.
Chesna:
I wanted to Thank You for the excellent therapeutic training you've provided. As a 78 year-old-man that’s been out of shape and not exactly what you call "athletic", I now have a rejuvenated outlook. Your approach and attention to where I needed help was amazing. I can say that with your stretching program I have more energy and my persistent back pain has now subsided."
—Tom Groves
Enthusiastic, encouraging, positive, kind-hearted, professional, intellectual, expert, fit! These are all words to describe Chesna. I was fortunate to meet Chesna at the right time; as I finished several series of physical therapy and medications to treat a debilitating back injury. I was so impressed that she was willing to invest the time to meet me in my home for a free consultation.
We reviewed the equipment that I owned, my concerns, abilities, goals, diet, medications, and doctor’s approval for working out. These were all things I’d want from a trainer, instead of being pushed through a process like cattle (no pun intended).
In our sessions, Chesna constantly evaluates my progress and when ready moves me to my next hurdle. Transitions are comprehensive but do not take away from our valuable time. Also, Chesna really listens when I talk. I can’t name how many daily challenges she’s helped me to overcome by first truly listening and then taking action. My expectations have not only been met but surpassed. —Jackie
