Our Mission
Sorta Healthy was founded upon an approach of moderation in all domains. You don't have to be perfect to see the results you seek.
At Sorta Healthy, we focus on three things: fitness, food and education. We are dedicated to helping you reach your goals in a way that makes sense for your lifestyle, not another cookie-cutter plan. Whether you're someone looking to improve your lifestyle, or become a better trainer, we are here to make sure that we provide you with a system that you can actually live with, not just follow for a few weeks.
