Our Team

Joyce Washington

Founder of Fit 1 Fitness and Wellness

Certified Wellness/Life Coach for 11yrs and recently earned Personal Fitness Trainer’s Certification. International Sports Science Association (ISSA) CPR/AED Certified, Life/Wellness Certified (LCI)

My family lived a very unhealthy and stressful life style, which contributed to conditions such as, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure and were prone to strokes. My youngest daughter was born with sickle cell disease. Because of my daughter’s disease, I was pressed to look for holistic ways of keeping her and my family healthier through diet, vitamin supplements and stress management. As a result of my life's journey and education into health and wellness, I was inspired to create Fit 1 Fitness and Wellness and share my vision and knowledge with others.

As a Life and Wellness Coach I understood that stresses in life can have a large impact our physical and mental well being.  My approach to good health and wellness is, "if we can change our minds we can change our lives for the better, mind body and spirit".

  MBA in IT & Marketing and pre-doctoral fellow.

My parents raised me to be healthy and fit.  My father was a health teacher and my mother     was  always researching vitamins and nutrition.  While not a certified trainer, I've always led an active lifestyle and strive to maintain my strength and health and set a good example for my sons.   

I come to Fit 1 with a background in corporate sales and marketing and love the idea of marrying my professional experience with my personal interests.  It's my dream to see families and groups coming together to encourage one another to be their personal best - Fit 1for Life!
