Your Fitness Network's New Online Fitness Platform Launches January 15th, and aims to become the "FaceTime of Fitness."

Your Fitness Network (YFN) is excited to announce that they will be launching their new online fitness training company on Martin Luther King Day January 15th.

Guilaine Menefee, CEO/Co-Founder along with her Chief Fitness Officer/Co-founder Devone Pollard created YFN because staying fit and healthy is a priority for them and their families. Trying to fit fitness and health into a busy lifestyle was difficult for Guilaine but for many others as well. YFN takes the complication out of the equation, by bringing fitness and nutrition to people whenever and wherever they want. They can do it in the convenience of their own home, office, while on travel, outside or on vacation. YFN is online and mobile accessible, which gives everyone a platform to choose a healthy and fit lifestyle in a way that suits them.

YFN has recently become a preferred fitness provider to the National Academy of Sports (NASM), which carries the strongest name in fitness certification and education. NASM sets the standard in certification, continuing education, solutions and tools for health and fitness, sports performance and sports medicine professionals for over 20 years. NASM partners with only the top health clubs and organizations in the industry. YFN trainers will be NASM Certified, complete continuing education units with NASM, and NASM will be able to offer specialized and programs to those affiliated with YFN.

It is only suitable that YFN launches on Martin Luther King Day. As a female-owned, minority-owned business, Guilaine connects her success to leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., who paved the way for equality, and helped to dismantle the systemic racism that plagued the country at the time. MLK also inspires Guilaine and Devone in terms of community engagement, which they both make a priority to give back to those less fortunate.

Your Fitness Network is committed to community service and uplifting the next generation. One of their underlying missions is to inspire and assist girls, along with other underrepresented groups, in making the highest academic achievement as well as staying physically and mentally fit and nutritionally sound. YFN has partnerships with local area schools and organizations to strengthen young women of color present in traditionally male-dominated fields.
