The BodyImpress Idea
The BodyImpress idea came from a fairly fundamental problem. There is so much health information on the internet and a great deal of it is misinformation - the latest diet, how you can lose weight with a tablet, some new technique that promises incredible results. And all along the simple truth and basic fundamentals of good health and nutrition are being de-valued.
We wanted to create something beyond what is available in gym environments. Something that can generate a permanent change where there are no barriers.
We realised that this outcome could only possibly come from having a team with thorough expertise who are committed to educating and developing real understanding of health in our clients. So we have taken a highly ethical and principled approach where our knowledge is given away freely and openly.
BodyImpress was created to show people that getting back to basics works and always has. We want to educate and encourage as many people as possible that they can achieve results through basic health and fitness principles. We are passionate about good health!
Our intention is to put as much information in the public arena as possible and over time build a community. We believe there is no need to hide information.
The value we provide over and above the information we share is the role our Fitness Mentors play in supporting and encouraging our clients.
