Find out what's happening in Novifor free with the latest updates from Patch.

We are two women who left corporate America, after medical conditions with our sons caused us to re-evaluate our purpose.  We wanted to take our 6+ year hobby of teaching fitness classes to help people achieve a healthy lifestyle through education, motivation and action. Instead of just a gym, or a place to take classes, we are creating a place where young and old, all fitness levels and every body type can come together in a friendly atmosphere to share the joys of healthy living. 

Q: Why did you choose the Novi area?

Novi is a vibrant growing city with a great mixture of businesses and communities expanding all around it.  We have always done business in Novi, are happy to see it's growth and feel that it is a gateway to many great communities. 

Q: What kind of goods or services do you offer?

We offer health and fitness assessments, nutrition counseling, lifestyle coaching, fitness classes (including yoga) from babies through adults, private and small group training, seminars, workshops, speciality classes, private events, corporate wellness, onsite babysitting and our signature program the ONE Fit Challenge.

Q: What's your most popular product or service?

Our ONE Fit Challenge, which is our ultimate health and fitness solution. The goal of our program is to help individuals create and maintain a healthy lifestyle while competing against others (or teams) to see who can make the biggest change in their lives.  We start by assessing each individual and then educate in all key aspects including diet, exercise and stress management.  We provide ongoing support through daily fitness classes, weekly newsletters, monthly seminars and/or healthy luncheons,  and provide motivation & encouragement as individuals go through challenges & successes.  Our Challenge promotes a sustained commitment to fitness, and educates people on how to live and work in balance.

Q: What's a fact about your business that most customers probably don't know?
