It is said that “it takes a village to raise a child,’ and while that might be true, I will also say that it sometimes takes a village of health professionals to help you to achieve your fitness goals, and that is why I assembled a world-class team of fitness and nutrition experts to provide support and guidance for the participants in my Six Weeks to Fitness programs.
There is no need to go it alone when you have caring, qualified instructors just waiting to inspire and motivate you towards your goals. Whether your goals are to lose weight, build muscle, get in beach body shape or to increase your energy levels, collaborating with the right trainers will help you to succeed.
Prior to the pandemic, we would travel to churches, schools, and community centers to host these programs (in person), but when the pandemic hit, we had to pivot. Thankfully, with the help of modern technology (Zoom), we were able to continue providing these programs at low cost to the public.
Imagine what the cost would be if you had to pay the full price for the services of certified trainers and certified and licensed nutritionists, not to mention the motivational talks and accountability, which goes into each class, who could afford that? But, regardless of the cost, your health is an investment, not an expense (although it will become an expense if you do not take the time to invest in it).
If you or someone you know, would like to find out more about this program, which is called “Six Weeks to Family Fitness,” because it is my belief that fitness should be a family affair, then visit https://www.bodysculpt.org/six-weeks-to-fitness. This program is for adults and children, so all are welcome.
At this time, I want to introduce you to a few members of my Six Weeks to Fitness team, whom I call my “A-Team” when it comes to providing fitness and nutrition services.

My name is Patricia Cooke. I am a NYS Licensed Certified Dietitian Nutritionist (MS, CDN, CNS, CDCES, CBC). I am certified in Adult Weight Management by the Commission on Dietetic Registration. I am also a Certified Diabetes Educator and a Certified Bariatric Counselor.. I have worked for fifteen years counseling patients for a variety of health issues and chronic diseases with a specialty in clinical weight loss and weight management. I have worked extensively with all ages in achieving the healthiest body they can through lifestyle and dietary changes while adopting healthy attitudes towards weight and food.
My goal as a nutritionist is to help people have the healthiest body they can have with the resources available to them. Being healthy and eating good food should not feel like a chore. Foods that we eat can play a vital role to alleviate symptoms brought on by a variety of health issues and in some cases help treat conditions themselves. Never underestimate the power of good food!

Hi, I’m Tasha Valentino and I teach different forms of restorative classes. If you’re interested in lower impact holistic courses then check out these classes: Yoga, Qigong, Meditation, Zumba, and Reiki are all forms of ways to promote health and wellness. My favorite way to be well is moving my body and focusing my mind on a one pointedness practice. The best part about my class is arriving as you are without judgment. Join my class because you will leave relaxed. My advice is to Stop thinking about joining and just do it! All levels are welcome to practice and be part of a supportive health and wellness community.
