A South Florida wellness company is bringing personal training to clients’ front doors, and it is expanding to the Treasure Coast. Fitness at Your Door says it has grown to more than 250 certified personal trainers who undergo background checks. They serve clients from Miami to Jupiter, according to founder Kashawn Fraser, who spoke with WPTV.
Fraser, a former professional football player in the Canadian Football League, started the business after three reconstructive knee surgeries in a row. He said he shifted his focus from his own fitness to helping others get fit after those injuries.
The company aims to remove common barriers to exercise. Some clients said they prefer working out at home to waiting for machines or dealing with crowds at a gym. Others said a trainer coming to them eases the worry of performing an exercise incorrectly in front of other people.
The program also works with residents of 55-and-older communities. Fraser said staying active can help people nearing retirement keep the energy to spend time with family. The company also uses the gyms, fitness centers and clubhouses in residential communities, spaces that often go underused even though residents have them nearby.
Residents can find more information about the program on the company’s website.
