Welcome
My name is Chesna Closs, and I'm a certified health coach and personal trainer with a passion for empowering others to live healthier lives through physical fitness and holistic well-being. Welcome to Fit Esteem!
I describe Fit Esteem (FE) as the feeling you get from being fit. I have FE now but that wasn't always the case. You see, everyone in my family either lived with or died from chronic illness(es) or disease(s). And everyone experienced chronic long-term stress and societal-based trauma. I was on that same path but I turned it all around and took control of my health. The transformation felt exhilarating. I called that feeling "fit esteem," and set out on a mission to share it!
For the past 28 years, I’ve helped clients of all ages, ethnicities, fitness levels, body types, and backgrounds find their FE. I draw on these experiences, as well as my personal ones, to offer creative programs and services to the clients I serve.
From health clubs, home gyms, dojos and hospitals, to churches, hair salons, schools and organizations, I specialize in creating culturally-relevant programs that inspire people to find and keep their fit esteem.
Our Mission
The mission of FE is to help people of all ages (and abilities) achieve physical, nutritional, emotional, spiritual and social fitness. We refer to this expanded notion of fitness as 'holistic fitness.'
The goal of Fit Esteem is to encourage and promote holistic fitness habits through coaching and lifestyle programming that's fun, realistic, creative and culturally relevant for participants and their families.
