Resolutions or commitments. A quick fix instead of fitness. A diet fad that defies nutrition. A contract instead of a framework and a plan for better health. 

That’s the pattern Julia Schwaegerl sees every January as a mix of New Year’s resolutions, social and mass media marketing and a desire to lose weight all converge. But, after two or three weeks, many people have already given up on the idea. For the brave who stick to it, though, that’s also the time fitness experts like Schwaegerl are tapped to assist the wellness process and can really shine. That’s where her facility, Fitness Factory, comes in and is able to provide more personal training and guidance.
