Hello, I’m Pascal and I’m here to help you with any questions you have about this website. My friend Mike and I put this site together to help you get fit and stay fit. So far we’ve been able to help men and women lose weight and we’re sure that FitCapital will help you reach your fitness goals too.

This all started over a year ago when I was going through a family crisis, working full time, and doing a masters degree, and I gained a lot of weight as a result. I decided to get some help to lose the weight but got scammed by various quick weight loss services and products. After that I decided to take matters in my own hands by studying to become a personal trainer and applying what I learned to myself. It worked and I lost 20 pounds.

After several people asked me the secrets for losing weight, I met with Mike who’s a software developer passionate about fitness, and we started putting a plan in place for a website that would help people lose weight and keep it off.

We believe that the most valuable weight-loss tool mechanism is the ability to get advice from Certified Professionals such as Personal Trainers, Dietitians, Yoga Instructors, Martial Artists, and other experts. Therefore, we allowed all these experts to create profiles that we list in our Directory page. Feel free to post questions to our ASK page and get free advice from these professionals, read their FitCapital blogs and the articles they post to our Articles section, register for events of classes posted in our Events page, or contact the experts directly to schedule face-to-face appointments by using our FitCapital internal messaging system.

We also believe that people with the same goals can also motivate each other and share their own secret to success. This is why we created groups and message boards to foster interactive discussions about various fitness topics. You can join existing groups or create your own communities.

Another very powerful mechanism to get motivated about fitness is the spirit of competition. We’ll be organizing weight-loss competitions in various cities throughout the year and rewarding the winners with cash prizes. You can also create your own weight-loss competitions on FitCapital.com, our system allows people to do daily online weigh-ins and ranks competition participants for everyone to view who is winning at any time. We will actually contribute $50 towards the winners’ pot for user created competitions.

Welcome to FitCapital, we’re looking forward to your feedback!
