That is how I would describe Fitz as a speaker and trainer. She is, without doubt, one of the most inspirational forces in fitness today. Those fortunate enough to have heard her speak, or better yet worked out with her, 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\u2019s first steps toward a healthier body and mind.<\/p>\n<p>My company, Rob Bailey Communications, works with some of the world\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>For those who don\u2019t know Fitz, I feel sorry for you. She is an instant ray of sunshine mixed with a zap of motivation. I\u2019d 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rob Bailey<\/p>\n<p>Rob Bailey Communications<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFitz will not only knock your socks off, but some body fat as well! Follow the advice of a true expert who practices what she preaches and will help you attain the fit and healthy body you\u2019ve always wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jose Antonio,PhD<\/p>\n<p>CEO of the International Society of Sports Nutrition<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 1998 the Florida Gator women\u2019s tennis team that I coached won the third National team title of that decade and Fitz was a big part of our success.<\/p>\n<p>Her work with the girls made them stronger both physically and mentally. The Everything\u00ae Flat Belly Cookbook will give you VIP access to an amazing trainer who will hold your hand on your path to better living.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andy Brandi<\/p>\n<p>Professional Tennis Coach at The Solomon Institute and Former University of Florida Women\u2019s Tennis Coach<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the PR Director for Everlast Woman, I\u2019ve been working with Fitz for the past fifteen years. With her fitness expertise, time as a competitive kickboxer and media savvy \u2026 Fitz has proven to be the perfect representative for Everlast fitness products. Fitz has spoken, taught, and performed thousands of times with our logo on her chest and we\u2019ve certainly benefited greatly because of it.<\/p>\n<p>Since our partnership began long ago, Fitz has taken our brand to: Russia, Switzerland, Finland, Denmark, France, England, Estonia, all across America and many places beyond. \u00a0As well, our \u201cEverlast Fitz Posters\u201d used at the Gart Sporting Goods chain of stores were quite popular and once again helped increase the success of Everlast Woman.<\/p>\n<p>Fitz compels people to become their best with a bright smile and a forceful message. Just like Everlast, Fitz champions sports and fitness. She has a unique ability to inspire, motivate and educate everyone in her audiences. She\u2019s a delight to work with and has represented our products with class.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jo-Anne Rubin<\/p>\n<p>Everlast PR Director<\/p>\n<p>The Moret Group<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf your personal or professional life could be better by having a better attitude or improving your physical status&#8230;then I would highly recommend you associate yourself wtih Fitz Koehler. There are few people that I consider the &#8220;total package&#8221; of wit, charm, brains, and brawn, but Fitz defines what it takes to take anybody to the next level. I would recommend you spend time with Fitz &#8211; you will never be the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Karl Kaufmann<\/p>\n<p>Director Sales and Catering at Hilton Ocala<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFitz is a passionate fitness and health expert who brings enthusiasm to all she does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gina Judge<\/p>\n<p>Senior Manager, Consumer Relations at PepsiCo &#8211; Quaker Oats<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the past several years (three times per 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Douglas DeMichele<\/p>\n<p>Senior Lecturer at University of Florida<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is truly a pleasure to offer a very strong personal recommendation on behalf of Fitz. I&#8217;ve known her for nearly 15 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 \u2013 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 \u2013 I can promise you that she will do an absolutely superior job \u2013 she is a wonderful person and an excellent professional speaker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John Spence<\/p>\n<p>One of the Top 100 Business Thought Leaders in America<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen 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&#8217;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&#8217; 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andy Canning<\/p>\n<p>Project Manager at UF &amp; Shands<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFitz has a way with words\u2014a motivating, authentic, easy-to-understand, lovely way with words. Whether instructing a client on how to lift heavy weights or punch a heavy bag, explaining through her professional articles how to take off a few pounds, or chit-chatting with celebrities and athletes about their health and fitness pursuits, Fitz communicates effectively, efficiently, and with a style I truly admire.<\/p>\n<p>It is my pleasure to know Fitz on several fronts. I first knew her as my fit and fabulous neighbor. Then I became one of her fitness clients and spent more than a year learning from her how to strengthen and tone my post-cancer body. Then we became co-bloggers for the AOL-owned blog That\u2019s Fit. Now, I work in a supervisory role for That\u2019s Fit and get to marvel at Fitz\u2019s talent from a new and exciting view.<\/p>\n<p>When I read what Fitz writes for her audience, I feel like I\u2019m sitting in a room with her. She writes like she speaks\u2014she\u2019s simple, to the point, and funny too. She has a way of engaging and empowering her readers\u2014\u201cExercise most days of the week,\u201d she advises those who wish to become both fit and healthy. \u201cWork out until you huff, puff, and grunt,\u201d she suggests. And don\u2019t forget that 80 percent of weight loss comes from wise food choices, says the spunky and spirited Fitz. Who can\u2019t understand these clear and goal-oriented messages? It\u2019s what I like most about my friend and colleague\u2014her ability to make sense of the often-contradictory information about how to eat right and exercise well.<\/p>\n<p>Something else I like about Fitz: She makes me feel good. She\u2019s happy by nature, and it\u2019s contagious. She takes good care of herself and her family and makes me want to do the same. And she knows how to draw out the strengths of others so they can use them for good. When I first started training with Fitz, she told me I was going to be an easy subject. \u201cYou\u2019re already in good shape,\u201d she told me. \u201cMy work will be easy.\u201d I\u2019m not sure how right-on she was but her words sure inspired me to prove just how great a client I could be.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, Fitz is the total package. Give her a topic, and she\u2019ll write up a storm. Give her someone to interview, and she\u2019ll razzle and dazzle. Plop her in a gym, and she\u2019ll instruct with force and grace. Put her in front of an audience, and she\u2019ll WOW her crowd with everything she\u2019s got. Give her a task, and she\u2019ll deliver. I promise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jacki Donaldson<\/p>\n<p>Co-Lead Blogger, That\u2019s Fit<\/p>\n<p>Freelance Writer<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I need to look lean, I put great emphasis on eating healthy.

Friendly. Flexible. Determined. These are just a few words to describe Fitz, who I&#8217;ve worked with on many different fronts. She&#8217;s extremely well-versed in fitness, health and nutrition, and she&#8217;s eager to help others achieve their goals. She served as a source for a few of my fitness stories for both Gainesville Magazine and The Gainesville Sun in Gainesville, Fla., and was very well-spoken and easy to work with. She&#8217;s an absolute pleasure and I&#8217;m confident that the advice she gives me is backed with years of education, experience and research.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitney Smith<\/p>\n<p>Writer\/Designer, Gainesville Magazing<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe combination of Fitz\u2019s fitness tips and healthy recipes in The Everything\u00ae Flat Belly Cookbook is guaranteed to get you in the best shape of your life!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Buddy Lee<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Olympic Wrestler<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFitz is the master of abdominal training.

You\u2019re going to want to live in them!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tracy Benham, MS Exercise and Sport Physiologist;<\/p>\n<p>Executive Producer, The Active Health Network<\/p>\n<p>Director, Sports Health Exercise LLC<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Everything\u00ae Flat Belly Cookbook is more than a simple collection of 20 recipes&#8230;Fitz has created a down-to-earth guideline for living a healthier life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marci Slayton, MD<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe purpose of this letter is to tout the good name of \u201cFitz\u201d Koehler, trainer, motivator and fitness instructor extraordinaire. \u00a0I have known Fitz for over 10 years and have had the opportunity to work out in many of her different forums and curriculums.<\/p>\n<p>A number of years ago, I attended her kickboxing classes at the local karate center and found her to be extremely knowledgeable with regards to fitness, diet and nutrition. The classes were challenging and cutting edge at that time and I was happy to recruit many of my friends and co-workers.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to work with her in a one-on-one scenario and although I am now 10 years older, she has been able to motivate me to accomplish things that I didn\u2019t think were possible. \u2026. I\u2019ve enjoyed working with Fitz and find her to be so motivational that I have recommended her to my single family and multifamily communities for training and education. \u00a0We often enlist speakers and trainers to assist and encourage our residents and homeowners to enjoy more active and healthy lives and I can think of anybody better to speak about the benefits of healthy living.<\/p>\n<p>Taking it one step further, I am actively encouraging the President of our company to utilize Fitz in our corporate environment to educate our staff on superior health habits, which translate into superior work habits.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, I am a huge fan and would recommend her skills in any forum, whether personal or professional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Denise Snyder<\/p>\n<p>Emmer Management Corp.<\/p>\n<p>Regional Property Manager<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just wanted to take a few minutes to let you know what a difference you, your guidance and training have made in my life. \u00a0Call this a resounding endorsement, a testimonial if you will.<\/p>\n<p>A little bit of background first. \u00a0I\u2019ve always been athletic \u2013 played high school and college sports, and after graduation, I owned an aerobic dancing company in Houston while working full time in the advertising business. \u00a0When I went back to get my master\u2019s and doctoral degrees, I continued water skiing, jogging and playing on team tennis. \u00a0\u00a0As a 50-something professor, dean, and flight instructor, I\u2019m still pretty active. \u00a0I have no disabilities or exercise-limiting restrictions. \u00a0\u00a0Time \u2013 it\u2019s my only limitation so far. \u00a0But, you know, I hadn\u2019t realized that something was missing and slowly ebbing away from the fitness and exercise side of my life \u2013 until I signed up for one of your kickboxing classes. \u00a0That brings us to the present, and back to the reason for this letter. \u00a0I think I can distill my comments into three separate areas: your teaching, your motivation and your example.<\/p>\n<p>Teaching: \u00a0I thought I knew good teaching. \u00a0I do. \u00a0But what I didn\u2019t know was great teaching. \u00a0You have a natural gift, Fitz. You\u2019re an excellent communicator. \u00a0Your energy, commitment and individualized attention are amazing. \u00a0You have a wonderful sense of humor that puts even novice exercisers at ease immediately. \u00a0\u00a0For me, what resonated the most was when you asked me, quite matter of factly, \u201cSo, why aren\u2019t \u00a0you running?\u201d \u00a0As though there was no logical or legitimate reason why I shouldn\u2019t be. \u00a0It was a wake-up call for me, and an example of your \u201ccan-do\u201d approach to teaching.<\/p>\n<p>Motivation: \u00a0From beginning to end of one of your sessions you encourage. \u00a0You motivate us with your dedication to fitness and your teaching style. \u00a0You speak to and not at the students in your class. \u00a0You push. \u00a0You set the bar higher each time we exercise. \u00a0You find the thing that will motive each person individually, regardless of his or her current fitness level.<\/p>\n<p>Example: \u00a0You do it all by example, by who you are and what you are. \u00a0You lead a life full of healthy habits \u2013 it\u2019s not a burden or sacrifice \u2013 it just comes natural to you. \u00a0You don\u2019t endorse fad diets, drugs or surgery. \u00a0You advocate natural foods and an overall healthy lifestyle. \u00a0You pass on all of these tools to your students and to the people who hear you speak. \u00a0\u00a0You live fitness. \u00a0You radiate fitness. \u00a0And it\u2019s infectious.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line: \u00a0I\u2019m stronger, more alive and re-dedicated to fitness. \u00a0Thank you. \u00a0You\u2019re an inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Debbie Treise<\/p>\n<p>Associate Dean\/Professor<\/p>\n<p>College of Journalism and Communications<\/p>\n<p>University of Florida<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have had the pleasure of working with Fitz Koehler professionally and personally over ten years. \u00a0During this time I have had ample opportunity to observe her personal skills and professional expertise. \u00a0Fitz\u2019s motivation and innovation is impressive, and I highly recommend her as a wellness speaker, consultant, and master instructor.<\/p>\n<p>Fitz\u2019s credentials rival those who have been in the work force much longer than she; this reflects her motivation and inspiration. \u00a0For instance, as a parent she took an interest in children\u2019s nutrition and physical fitness. \u00a0This included specific information on her website, and contacting the Wiggles. \u00a0She then corroborated with The Wiggles on fitness videos in an effort to educate parents on how to raise fit children . \u00a0She has also interviewed national health advisors, including Dr. Mehmet Oz, who is featured on the Oprah Winfrey show.<\/p>\n<p>Locally, Fitz has been involved in the American Cancer Society\u2019s programs to promote non-smoking, and has delivered inspiring talks to various groups on health and fitness. \u00a0Her style is professional yet she is able to connect with her audience, whether young or old, serious athletes or the novice; and always with enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend Fitz Koehler without reservation, and am confident that her contribution to your business or health-related endeavor will make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marcia O. Miller, M.D.<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Clinical Professor<\/p>\n<p>Department of Community Health and Family Medicine<\/p>\n<p>University of Florida College of Medicine<\/p>\n<p>Gainesville, FL<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDear Fitz,<\/p>\n<p>I want to thank you for the training sessions you gifted me in the first months following my daughter\u2019s death. \u00a0Those sessions allowed me release from the hurt and fury that intoxicates the heart after losing a child.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite part of our sessions was my bout with the punching bag. \u00a0Nothing could substitute the catharsis of pummeling something. \u00a0The bag stood before me, as impenetrable and resolute as the fate that \u201ctook\u201d my child from me. \u00a0But unlike Fate, that bag was tangible, and I enjoyed the empowerment of watching that bag give and sway under my unforgiving blows.<\/p>\n<p>You were always supportive, nonjudgmental and accepting. \u00a0You intuitively knew when to push me physically and how far. \u00a0And you made me feel good in my skin\u2014a feeling that, for the most part, had died along with my daughter.<\/p>\n<p>During a time when I struggled to find the will to breathe in and out, you gave me the means to heal. \u00a0I healed through the opportunity to purge emotion. \u00a0I healed through a rebirth of appreciation for the body I was in and the power it did possess. \u00a0I healed through your encouragement and praise. \u00a0Mostly, I healed through your unwavering and accepting friendship.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for these gifts. \u00a0They are immeasurable. \u00a0You have tremendous physical talent, and you also have the talent to guide your clients\u2019 to the realization of theirs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anita Webster<\/p>\n<p>Mother and English Professor<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been acquainted with Fitz for over two years. During this time, I became aware of her expertise in the area of exercise and fitness. As a representative of a Parent\/Teacher Organization, I enlisted her assistance, last fall, on a Parent Forum discussing children\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<p>Fitz\u2019s education and certifications, in the field of exercise sciences, qualified her to be a member of our panel. Although her portion of the panel discussion focused on exercise and fitness, she is enthusiastic about presenting a comprehensive program which would cover all aspects of children\u2019s health, including diet and nutrition.<\/p>\n<p>Fitz is an informed, enthusiastic, energetic speaker. A presentation on health and exercise, including wellness and nutrition, would be an asset to any institution or organization. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Karen Whipple<\/p>\n<p>Teacher<\/p>\n<p>Gainesville Country Day School<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlachua County Fire Rescue has contracted for Fitz\u2019s services on two occasions and we have been well satisfied with her training programs. Several years ago she provided wellness information during our monthly in-service training. \u00a0Two years ago she conducted a train-the-trainer class for a peer fitness group.<\/p>\n<p>Fitz has the ability to convey fitness and training information in an understandable and motivating fashion to our personnel \u2013 and they are an audience that challenges trainers who may not know their material. She facilitates training by making it enjoyable and appropriate to the specific individuals in the group. \u00a0We would certainly recommend her to other organizations seeking her expertise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jean M.

She has always been a great mentor, trainer and more than that, cares for everyone of her clients on a deeper level. I have had numerous set backs and health problems, and even when I am not her client, Fitz is still calling to check and see how we are doing with our eating, health and exercise. That shows that she is truly dedicated to everyone that she works with. I highly recommend Fitz Koehler to anyone that I meet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yvette Glisson<\/p>\n<p>Mother, Wife and Insurance Adjuster<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFitz motivates, directs and inspires people toward creating active lifestyles for themselves and their families.
