HISTORY

Change iz Fitness was founded on October 22, 2015. Change iz Fitness was founded after the owner Fabian survived a suicide attempt. Fitness was used as an outlet and an anchor for him to believe in himself. In addition, he had a soldier who couldn’t meet the minimum requirements for the army physical fitness test. After creating a structured training program and training with this young soldier for two months, the soldier passed the fitness test and met the body fat percent standards for the army. It was then that Fabian saw an opportunity to positively impact the lives of others, and several months later, Change iz Fitness was founded. Change iz Fitness offers lifestyle change programs that teach clients respective strategies which help them make healthy changes for life. They also learn what their negative triggers are, then learn ways to replace those triggers with positive ones.

The Four Pillars

our foundational basis for which our training is developed

FORM

The most important aspect of training, form, is the thin line between result and injury. We also teach our clients how to adapt this pillar to other areas in their life.

control

The second pillar of the four pillars of training is control, which is the power to influence, direct, manage or move an object. Another critical aspect of fitness, but probably the most important to adapting to lifestyle change, it’s something we emphasize within our community.

Consistency

Consistency is the third pillar and shouldn’t be confused with repetition, as consistency in training lies within the techniques of exercising with the correct form and control every time, all the time. We find that this is one of the most significant struggles our clients face overall. Therefore, it’s something that we continually monitor and reassess to make sure we find the best way to help our clients implement consistency.

4. repetition

Repetition is the final pillar in our four-pillar training model. At Change iz Fitness, it is the thread that weaves the four pillars together. Repetition creates habit, and habit forms our personality. With our psychology-based training programs, fitness becomes a part of our client’s life – because we tailor their program to their personality.

COMPANY VALUES

As a former soldier, the army values were the foundation for Fabian. He adopted four of the seven army values to form the Change iz Fitness Value System. These values built the Change iz Fitness community. Each client and member of Change iz Fitness has an environment where they can wholeheartedly be their change. A judgment-free environment is the foundation of our community’s and company’s values.

1. Loyalty

A strong feeling, or support, or allegiance to every member of our community.

2. RESPECT

Give due regards for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of others.

3. INTEGRITY

4. PERSONAL COURAGE

Repetition is the final pillar in our four pillar training model and at Change iz Fitness it is referred to as the thread that weaves the four pillars together. Repetition creates habit, and habit becomes personality and with our psychology based training programs, fitness becomes a part of our clients life – because we tailor their program to their personality.
