New Business Combines Training with Healthy Meals

Fit Food Trainer in Menomonee Falls helps working professionals and stay-at-home moms to be healthier.

For busy working professionals, as well as stay-at-home moms, finding time to squeeze exercise into the day can be a challenge. When working out takes center stage, something else needs to give. Often that something else is preparing a nutritious meal.

Sarah Dusseau, owner of Fit Food Trainer, W15560 Silver Spring Dr, Unit C, Menomonee Falls, decided one day that achieving fitness goals and maintaining a healthy diet should not be mutually exclusive. She needed to find a way to combine her personal training business with preparation of nutritious, portion-controlled meals to offer her clients the best of both worlds.

According to Dusseau, it took her just one night to come up with the name and concept of her new business, and her fresh, organic recipes have taken on a life of their own.

Dusseau and her trainers stress variety in workouts to stave off boredom and to maximize results. The studio contains dumbbells, ropes, stability balls, TRX suspension training, a treadmill, slide board, even a rock-climbing wall, among other tools.

After a personal training session, group training session, Pilates class, boot camp session or Zumba class, clients can pick up their prepared meals for the week. Or, they can select from a limited number of "Grab 'n' Go" meals available on site for sale. A variety of 100-percent fruit smoothies, blended with protein powder, are also a customer favorite.

Clients can order food by the day, which includes lunch, dinner and two snacks for $29. Fit Food Trainer often runs specials — workout-meal combinations for one discounted price. Grab 'n' Go meals are $15 for a dinner entrée and $8 for lunch.

The company's first client was a single man who wanted to lose weight but always fell short because he knew very little about cooking, even less about nutrition. "I needed the extra money, so I approached him with the idea of me cooking for him," Dusseau said.

After that Dusseau's Fit Food program was on its way.
