Coaches
FIT & NU® was founded by sisters Joslyn and Brittney Rae Reese in March of 2015, just two years after embarking on a life-changing backpacking trip through Central America. While traveling, the sisters embarked on individual pursuits to create healthy habits.
Joslyn discovered how to use food to heal her body. She began her journey with juicing. Now, as a Certified Holistic Health & NUtrition Coach, she guides our clients on foundational ways to heal their relationship with food.
FITness Coach Brittney Rae used her love for dance as the gateway to transforming her body. Now, as a Certified Personal Trainer and Women’s Fitness Specialist, she challenges clients’ limiting beliefs through body and behavior change routines.
