Video: What makes Fit for Freelance different?
If you want health to be a natural, easy part of your life, I got you.
Does this sound familiar? I'm here because I...
- want to love my body and feel confident again (and not feel older than I am)
- want energy to show up my best for my business and the people I love
- hate feeling mentally weak from failing all or nothing diet and exercise plans. I need slippage room so I can still have a good time
- want to lose weight and keep it off without it being about the number on the scale
- am ready to focus on my unmet health goals to lead a thriving, successful life
- go hard for a month, then fall off. I need direction to identify which habits are hindering sustainable long-term fitness
- want to be leaner- more definition, more tone, lower body fat percentage
If any or all of these apply, you're in the right place!
Hey there! I'm Reggie Wilson, and I'm excited to help you become an adaptive business leader through compassionate health coaching.
I want to create a society where every entrepreneur knows how to lead the healthy, fulfilling life of their dreams- not stuck with extremely restrictive diets or feeling guilty taking time for themselves.
My Guilt-free Gameplan builds your confidence, realistic focus, and accountability in your health goals, which gives you more energy and focus to reach your business and life goals.
Learning how to prioritize your health and love your body again are just the beginning- then you apply your skills to any goal so that you have confident ownership of your path to freedom and fitness!
Think of it like adding an employee wellness section to your business plan.
"Keep practicing"
My passion and career are about making it easy for people to understand health science and match their choices to their goals:
- Started a freelance medical education writing business, rephrasing science so different audiences can use it
- Over 10 years of public health work in nutrition education and health policy education to create healthier environments and workplaces
I've got a Masters in Medical Sciences, grad certificate in Positive Behavior Support, Bachelors in Nutrition, plus I'm a Certified Worksite Wellness Program Manager, and Certified Personal Trainer.
But all that's boring- I do it because I want to help you feel confident while you enjoy the important things in life! I'm talking about better family time, smooth, productive days of work, and feeling great in (or out of) your clothes.
I simplify and coach habits so you know what to do, why it's important, and how to make health a fun part of your life without feeling guilty or like a burden to others.
Some Fun Facts About Me...
Actually read and teach friends medical science for fun
History as salsa dancer and occasional rugby player
Past President of American Medical Writers Association Florida Chapter, and 5-time selected presenter to national conference
Signed up, trained for, and ran a second marathon after completing the first one
Love hip hop and connecting samples to the classics
Practice calligraphy with a fountain pen and ink collection
Things I dislike: Useless supplements, the condescending tone of the fitness industry, rude internet commenters who have never helped someone they care about lose weight, pickles
If you're too busy for your health, it's keeping you from your best work
- Productivity losses linked to missing work cost
employers $1,685 per employee
each year.
- Full-time workers who are overweight or obese and have other chronic health problems miss about 450 million more days of work each year than healthy workers. The result is an estimated cost of more than $153 billion in lost productivity each year.
- A 1% reduction in excess weight and high blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol levels has been shown to save $83 to $103 annually in medical costs per person. (CDC Workplace Health Promotion)
These costs are a health tax for entrepreneurs and small businesses. Imagine paying cash for lost productivity, less enjoyment, and worse health outcomes!
The best companies use wellness programs to protect their people, resources, and bottom lines. Entrepreneurship has its benefits, but a worksite wellness coordinator hasn’t been one of them. Until now...
Why Fit for Freelance?
Most importantly, I know the small habits that gradually add up to overall "being in shape" apply directly to building a business. The things we might skip or make excuses for- "I can't do this because other people need me/ I don't want some dumb rules to keep me from having fun"- are the mindset challenges that keep us stuck, unable to reach our weight loss and business goals.
I started personal training because I know the joy of fitness, and love teaching people how to work out so they feel confident in all areas of their lives.
I started freelance medical education writing (Wilson Medical Writing) because everyone should be able to improve their quality of life through astonishing, sometimes hard-to-understand science research. I also hate driving to the office in traffic and asking someone else for time off work.
I started Fit for Freelance because millions of our remote working and self-employed colleagues aren't living the work-life balance they imagined. Without preventive health education, they're losing joy, energy, and productivity today, while increasing their risk of chronic disease and premature death.
I chose entrepreneurs because we're self-starters that just need a little guidance that fit and enhance our new work and family responsibilities. We don't want research and taking care of ourselves to be a burden, but we work hard to make big things happen when we know the Gameplan. It's more fun and sustainable than you think!
