The Fitness Town “Live It” Manifesto

Live It! How would it change your life?

At Fitness Town, we are committed to you living a long, healthy and vibrant life. We believe that if everyone exercised 30 minutes a day, this world would be a happier, more well adjusted place. We provide our communities with the tools, knowledge, and equipment to integrate fitness into every day life easily and cost effectively. We partner with industry experts to spread the word about health, wellness, and functional fitness. We don’t want you to do it; we want you to LIVE IT.

Our LIVE IT Manifesto:

* Move your body and sweat every day – especially when you don’t have time.
* If you hate going to the gym, don’t – move, dance, skip, jump, and jiggle… whatever you have to do to make it fun!
* The best gift you can give your family and those around you is a fit, healthy, well adjusted, stress-free you.
* Be functionally fit so your body serves you in your everyday activities, before you worry about a six-pack.
* What you put forth on the outside tells the world what you feel about yourself on the inside.
* Have a goal to drive you, break it down into bite-sized pieces and take on step toward it every day.
* Stay away from the center isles of the grocery store as much as possible and eat the fresh stuff on the perimeter
* Eat when you’re hungry.
* Drink lots of water.
* Surround yourself with people who LIVE IT and you will succeed.

About Dai

Growing up as an obese teenager, I learned firsthand what its like to be "un-healthy". It's not a place I enjoyed being and experiencing all the stigmas that come with being obese was traumatic. At age 15 I made a decision to change my lifestyle. And for 18 years, I haven't looked back. Fitness is, and always will be, a large part of my life. My passion is to engage as many people as possible in living healthy, more active lifestyles. With increasing obesity rates and a lack of focus and education on preventative medicine, our country is facing a health pandemic. The solution starts with parents modeling a healthy active lifestyle for children to follow. We all need to be inspired and held accountable to our fitness goals. My commitment is to provide inspiration, education, equipment and training – specifically supporting families – so that childhood obesity is no longer an issue in our country. As Chief Operating Officer and partner of Fitness Town Inc, I oversee the daily operations of 8 retail stores and 2 commercial divisions. Raised in Bowmanville, Ontario, I now live with my 2 children and loving wife, Christie, in Vancouver, B.C. With my spare time, I'm an active member of the Whiterock Early Edition Toastmasters organization and 2 other clubs, and when not honing my public speaking skills, I live out my passion for writing and sharing best health and fitness practices as the editor of the Fitness Town Health & Wellness Blog and The Moose is Loose.
