“If you are looking for an engaging and inspiring keynote speaker, look no further than Fitz Koehler. Your audience will be truly moved by her enthusiastic drive to persevere in the face of adversity during her fight against cancer. Fitz embodies living a life with purpose and inspiring others to be their own personal bests.”

Recently, I had to choose a speaker for a meeting I was presenting to my association. Without hesitation, I asked the staff to contact Fitz Koehler! I have had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Fitz through the running community. Her enthusiasm, kindness and support for others is not only her trademark but her genuine nature. One only needs to be in her presence for a few moments to discover the depth of her knowledge, understanding and expertise when it comes to diet, exercise and overall health and well-being. Her style of presentation is one of ease and confidence, with sincere caring about those she is speaking to. Fitz was so well received by the team, that she was invited back to share her knowledge with an even larger group of our members. I and my entire team, would highly recommend Fitz for your next event.

If you are looking to Level UP the masses and help them reach their peak, then please let me make a warm introduction to my good friend Fitz Koehler. I immensely respect Fitz’s energy and passion and the content (mostly free) that she puts out to her squad is above reproach.

"We engaged with Fitz on a health and fitness campaign for Office Depot and she hit it out of the park. In a series of videos and media placements, Fitz gave 120 percent with unflagging energy, great focus, and expert knowledge while always being the consummate professional and beaming with a positive attitude. Anyone needing a brand ambassador or fitness expert would do well to hire Fitz Koehler!"

"Fitz has done a terrific job hosting many of our events for peerFit. She is a natural speaker and someone that we love having at our company events as a representative of peerFit and the peerFit brand. Her enthusiasm, knowledge and articulateness make her the perfect spokeswoman for our company."

Fitz was a keynote speaker at the annual Road Runners Club of America (rrca.org) convention in May 2024. She did an outstanding job, telling her story and connecting with the audience. In addition, she graciously signed books, engaged with RRCA members, and added a whole lot of energy and fun to our convention.

“Fun, vibrant, and most-importantly, informational. That is how I would describe Fitz as a speaker. She is, without doubt, one of the most inspirational forces in fitness today. Those fortunate enough to have heard her speak instantly have a new appreciation for fitness as a lifestyle, not just an activity. Her regular columns are fun and educational, and are no doubt the catalyst for many individual’s first steps toward a healthier body and mind. My company, Rob Bailey Communications, works with some of the world’s best-known entertainers and athletes. Many of these individuals, due to strenuous travel schedules and limited free time, have devised unique workouts that help them stay fit and focused. Fitz has shown an uncanny ability to utilize these special, and sometimes-unorthodox exercise tactics, of celebrities and world-class athletes to offer new routines, practices or workout concepts that the average person can incorporate into the fitness regime. For those who don’t know Fitz, I feel sorry for you. She is an instant ray of sunshine mixed with a zap of motivation. I’d never hesitate to bring a client, friend or family member to her teachings. There is simply nothing to lose, except flab and fatigue, and everything to gain.”

"When I first began working with Fitz I knew about her endeavors and her deeply rooted desire to make the world a healthier place. What I didn't know was how exceptionally she could convey that passion with words. I began attending speaking engagements at which I knew Fitz would be presenting and sharing her vision. I soon learned what an eloquent, invigorating and dynamic speaker she truly is. Fitz' inspirational capability shines through when she presents, as the things she conveys to an audience are not only rooted in fact and personal experience but in her own understanding of what it truly means to live well. Taking on so much at all times, Fitz does so with a tact and level of knowledge that I one day aspire to obtain in my own work. Fitz also has an uncanny ability to inspires the youth with which she works, accessing them at a level they can comprehend and absorb. This ability to tailor her message to a wide variety of audiences is a rare characteristic and one that Fitz leverages with the utmost precision. It has been and continues to be an honor to both learn and work with Fitz Koehler and I offer my highest level of recommendation for her and all that she does both now and in the future."

"For the past decade (several times a year), Fitz has shared her life/professional experiences with college students (50+ in each class) enrolled in my capstone course entitled Field Experience. She brings energy, a dynamic personality and valuable information to each class thus, enabling students to evaluate life choices, continuing education opportunities and career options related to the fields of health, recreation and sport. As a component of the talk, Fitz discusses the impact a person can make in the world by positioning oneself and pursuing a passion. She highlights the value of social media, mass media and connecting with all populations. Without a doubt, anyone who books Fitz to motivate their audience will be pleased with the talk and their attendees will leave with a new perspective on life and life choices."

“On the mic, and in life, Fitz is a force to be reckoned with. She announced the Buffalo Marathon at the height of her cancer treatments and never missed a beat. Like Fitz, My Noisy Cancer Comeback is educational, encouraging, and uplifting!”

I started working with Fitz for a boutique women's athletic shoe line in Miami. Originally hired for on-air, local promotions we quickly realized that she offered an entire media mix and brand representation. We built in additional opportunities for blogger relations, on-line giveaways, television product placement, educational videos, charity appearances and industrial trade show representation. Each time Fitz was prepared, flexible, creative and able to perform under any circumstances from rain to last minute and live publicity opportunities. She is delightful, smart and our audience loved her.

"It is truly a pleasure to offer a very strong personal recommendation on behalf of Fitz. I've known her for nearly 25 years and have watched her present on a number of occasions. She is a superb professional speaker, full of energy, enthusiasm, passion and extremely helpful content. She is comfortable in front of the camera and is as talented as she is beautiful. There are thousands of speakers out there who claim they can deliver a high quality program – I assure you that Fitz delivers excellence every time she is in front of an audience. If you are interested in hiring her to do her program for you – I can promise you that she will do an absolutely superior job – she is a wonderful person and an excellent professional speaker."

“The comeback is always stronger than the setback. No one epitomizes this more than Fitz Koehler. As one of the most skillful and electrifying race announcers in America, she bravely and unselfishly continued to motivate and inspire runners throughout her cancer treatment. Fitz has courageously and nobly shared her personal experiences battling cancer in the public eye. My Noisy Cancer Comeback will inspire not only endurance athletes but every person needing the push to “be strong” and defy the odds.”

“When on the mic Fitz is a force to be reckoned with. With her excitement she takes control of the crowd, gets everyone excited, informs the crowd and athletes, sends them off, and then after a long long day announces each and every one of them as if they were the first one to cross the finish line. She encourages everyone and makes it their own personal journey even at the 2019 Buffalo Marathon while undergoing her own race toward beating the cancer finish line. If you didn’t have knowledge that she was on her own personal adventure you would not have never known by the excitement she brought to our event as if it was her first time announcing an event. Fitz’s book will help you find strength in places that you didn’t know existed and inspire you to battle back to enjoy life to the fullest.”

"Fitz is THE perfect Fitness and Health speaker! 1. She is a dynamic speaker. (She engages the audience on every level!) 2. She lives what she does. (She is NO hypocrite! She and her family live the existence she teaches others to embrace. She proves it is attainable!) 3. She is an expert in every sense of the word. (She has the formal education supported by her real life sports and business background in the giant arena that is health and fitness. She was not “made” she is the real deal!) My staff is still talking about things she taught us years ago!"

"Fitz is a passionate fitness and health expert who brings enthusiasm to all she does."

“My Noisy Cancer Comeback made me cry, laugh out loud, but most of all, it made me feel inspired. If you are doubting whether or not you can make it through your own cancer battle, this is the book for you. In ‘My Noisy Cancer Comeback’, Fitz makes you laugh and cry as she takes you on her journey of discovering and battling breast cancer.

If you are doubting whether or not you can make it through your own cancer battle, this is the book for you – Fitz will lift you up with her humor, while inspiring you with her authenticity and courage.”

"Fitz is a rare combination of smart, kind and motivating. Her seminars are empowering and fun. We all need to get moving and feeling better and Fitz is one of the best!"

“Anyone who has met Fitz knows that she is a true force of nature. She is full of grit and determination as both an athlete and as someone who has beat cancer. Throughout her journey, she has continued to uplift other cancer survivors and has encouraged them to get involved with organizations like the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). She uses her voice to inspire thousands as a race announcer and I have no doubt that her book will inspire thousands more. Fitz’s journey is one that will motivate, empower, and definitely encourage you, even on your hardest days. She is living proof that cancer research saves lives.”

“Fitz’s account of her journey through the cancer landmine is an inspiring message of hope, persistence, strength, family, and love. I applaud her for sharing her experience which fits neatly with her generous nature to give back to the world and help others. Bravo, Fitz, we have been rooting for you since day one and we know others will benefit from your story.”

Her story resonates not only with the cancer community, but for anybody who has ever had to dig deep in order to pursue a passion, follow through on a commitment, or simply just show up!”
