Block Fitness promotes a culture where everyone is safe to be truly themselves and receive support in a judgement-free environment.u003c/pu003ernu003cpu003e“In working with a multitude of clients to help them achieve weight loss, I’ve witnessed clients’ emotional barriers and identified preserving behaviors related to childhood experiences,” Joseph explains.u003c/pu003ernu003cpu003eOne client’s experience stands out in particular. After decades of trying to shed pounds, this client seemed stuck at a certain weight. After some self-reflection, she realized the last time she weighed that amount was when she was sexually assaulted. Joseph encouraged her to seek professional help, and continued providing her an individualized fitness and nutrition plan. With time and support, she was able to lose the weight, representing a monumental shift in her life after trauma. Block Fitness understands that “u003cstrongu003etrue change to support healthy lives is u003cemu003epreventionu003c/emu003eu003c/strongu003e” so every month, they donate $9.82 of every membership to Prevent Child Abuse Arizona.u003c/pu003ernu003cpu003eBlock Fitness is promoting health and resilience both for their clients and for families across Arizona.
