Fit + Healthy 365 was founded in 2012 by Lydia Di Francesco with a desire to change the narrative around wellbeing.
We work with organizations to support their employees’ well-being and mental health, resulting in greater employee productivity and retention.
The business provides:
We are motivated by not only improving an individual’s wellness, but also because of the direct impact that it will have on their productivity and influence in their workplace and with their family and communities.
We believe that healthy living is a lifestyle, not a fad or quick fix.
This means taking a long-term sustainable approach, with a focus on consistency over perfection.
We believe that wellbeing encompasses all aspects of a person’s wellness, including physical, mental, emotional, social, occupational, and financial.
We take a very practical and action-oriented approach to our work, while also having fun. Joy is very important!
Ultimately, our goal is to help improve the health and wellbeing of as many people as we can!
