About

It all began with our Transitional Fitness Model that originated from my work within a physical therapy
environment and was originally created as a step progressing from physical therapy to traditional fitness
training. It quickly evolved to a model that encompasses individuals who have not had or needed physical
therapy; individuals who are not realizing the results that they are expecting from their fitness efforts; and
those interested in starting exercise and reducing the risk of injury.

While this model is ideal for the body’s biomechanics it was not designed to address all aspects of
fitness and left the potential for too many hindrances. For this, I created the 5Keys Fitness Assessment. To
understand the Assessment, I would ask that you take a moment and think about your ideal “fit-self”. What
type of thoughts, feelings or images does that conjure up? Now with that in mind, think about what
behaviors that “fit-you” would have. How much exercise? What type of exercise? How much rest? What is
the diet? These questions become the foundation for developing your program. Your program is based on
your behaviors in each of the 5Keys of Fitness.

Of course fitness isn’t only about those components you know, but also includes all of those things that you think you know because you were never taught any different. It is entirely possible that what hinders your fitness goals is something that you would never imagine. Thus, for optimal fitness success EquiVita began bringing professionals in house that could provide our clients with unique perspectives that were otherwise missing.

Exceptional providers typically want to work with other exceptional providers…EquiVita was born.
