Has The Fitness Lifestyle Been Around A Long Time? A note from Daniel Gastelu, several decades of fitness lifestyle starting in the 1960's.

My ISSA course students and colleagues and clients often ask me how long I have been interested in the fitness lifestyle.

Well according to my records, since age 8, with a fitness club diploma from one of the oldest and still going heath clubs in NJ founded in the 1800's and served as the model for gym classes in NJ school system and led to the first kindergarten (youth fitness based) in the USA:
American Turners
Carlstadt Turn Verein
Organized 1848
Sound Mind, Sound Body
October 15, 1965 Diploma to Daniel Gastelu

My passion for fitness and being healthy led to becoming ISSA's first Director and Professor and Course Author of Nutritional Sciences, and now a Master Level Personal Trainer and continuing course contributor, and concurrent careers in developing health products, books, articles, etc. Worldwide.

Yes, fitness lifestyle has been around a long time!!!!!!
