12. Connecting fitness, nutrition, and environmental conservation with a uniquely creative approach to wellness — with PJ Beaven

PJ Beaven has developed a fitness and wellness program unlike any
other called ZooFit. Using her 15-years experience as a zookeeper
and animal trainer, she implemented the principles of
positive reinforcement and conservation to make
people’s healthy habits empowering, engaging, and impactful. Her
motto is "eat clean, live green, train positive." ZooFit turns
fitness into something you can cherish -- an enjoyable activity
that helps save the planet! Through her program, PJ teaches
people that we can connect to the earth in a healthy and positive
way.


After being a zookeeper for 15 years, PJ realized what a toll
that had taken on her body and recognized that she needed to
start taking care of herself so she could continue to take care
of the animals that she loved so much. She applied all the animal
training methods she had acquired over the years (positive
reinforcement, enrichment, breaking larger tasks down into small
steps) to shape a health-centered lifestyle that worked for her.
She also learned that the key was to make it fun! She created
games and her own workout equipment to make fitness and her
personal well-being an engaging and empowering experience.


She then adapted everything she had created and learned and
started teaching this unique wellness approach to her clients;
she made the connection between health and environmental
conservation a major part of her program.  PJ drives home
the message that everything that we do (the way we eat, how we
move, what daily choices we make) have an impact on the planet.
Given this, you wonder why we don’t already talk about
conversation in tandem with fitness and health. This is the
genius connection that PJ made and used to create ZooFit.
