that we will be rolling out soon.

A small teaser of what is in the works is a website and an online store that will allow us to reach the people on a much larger scale where customers/clients will have access to our products and are able to correspond with our nutritionist and health specialists.

We also have our own product line that will be hitting the shelves soon and in addition to that you will also see our own line of sports apparel.

a variety of organic groceries and gluten free products. While we plan to continue carrying some of those items, it will be on a smaller scale and limited to health snacks and bars while we continue to expand our health supplement products.

We are very personable and spend time with folks. The consultation combined with knowledge and supported with science has raised the bar on what folks should expect from their health specialist. We don’t simply pick up a bottle and hand it to you. We listen to what your goals, conditions and ailments are, and then together we will go over your options and find the best solutions to get your health moving in the direction you desire.

We have several athletes that we currently sponsor and many more are in the works. I love this community and I think the only thing that could possibly make me love it any more is to see us become the leading community in the state for health and fitness!”

-Scott Lucas Owner of FitLiving Nutrition

There is a high level of education and knowledge that accompanies what we provide at FitLiving Nutrition. Because we put a lot of focus on education, we regularly bring in high level health specialists and nutritionists to conduct in-store seminars and/or meet with customers by appointments.

Personally I have over 20+ years of health and fitness experience and another member of our staff is a UCA football athlete with a health science degree.

We are currently in a time of transition from Natures Market to the new brand, FitLiving Nutrition. We feel this transition is best suited for the vision we have for health and fitness. The FitLiving brand will be an umbrella for several projects 7
