Church Relationships

We want to be your partner and help you bring Christian-based Wellness to your church! There are many ways that CrossTrain can help you to bring this message of Christ-centered healthy living into your church family. Here are a few ways that we can be of service to you:

Small Group Weight Loss

CrossTrain offers a wonderful weight loss program that is perfect for a small group environment! Our program offers downloadable workbooks that will walk participants through a journey of self-discovery. This workbook offers scripture and facts that will lead participants into a wonderful “freeing” program that helps them to make some realistic goals and find GOD through it all.

This program also offers online videos that can be viewed as a group. The videos were created by the owners of CrossTrain Fitness in Ankeny, Iowa. These videos offer some cool strategies for God-centered weight loss. All of the CrossTrain owners have led a “path” of self-destruction and found God through the dark times of being overweight. They offer hope and wisdom in the area of healthy living. All you need is a “group leader” that can use our leaders guide to help guide them through this amazing journey!

On-line Memberships

We offer on-line memberships! Our memberships offer so many wonderful tools that will lead to a healthier way of life! We will offer church discounts for any groups that are participating in our small group bible study component. See our online membership page to see all of the wonderful benefits of being an online member of CrossTrain!

Exercise Classes

Have you ever thought about offering exercise classes in your church? If so…let CrossTrain help you get started! We can help you to develop the RIGHT program for your church. We will consult with your church to bring the perfect classes into your church. The sky is the limit…from a solid walking program to cutting edge fitness classes…let CrossTrain be the expert for you.

On-Site Consultation

Maybe you are thinking of adding a wellness center inside of your wonderful church. Maybe you have thought about converting a room inside your existing space into a workout center or exercise room. Maybe you have thought, “we don’t really know anything about fitness and wellness…we need some help!” If you are in this boat, CrossTrain can help! It is our goal to help churches to offer quality programs and services in the area of health and wellness. We are committed to helping churches to bring Christian-wellness to their congregations! Let us be your wellness expert!

Presentations

The owners of CrossTrain Fitness are available to visit your church for public speaking engagements. We love to spread the good news of how a Christ-centered approach to overall health works! He has been so good to us and we want to spread our “good news” to anyone that wants to seek Him in the area of health and wellness!

As owners, we have each had our journey to a healthier life! Deb Finnestad used to weigh over 400 pounds! She isn’t exactly sure how much she weighed at her “highest” because she couldn’t find a scale that would weigh that high! She found the Lord and started a wonderful journey of self-discovery! She has lost over 200 pounds and now devotes her entire life to helping people find Christ through wellness.

Jenny Neighbour used to be about 80 pounds heavier than she is today. She was an overworked, self-centered mommy trying to “keep up with the rat-race” of life! Jenny surrendered her life to Christ and the weight came off! She now leads a peaceful life with God in complete control!

Luke Carlson developed a food addiction while trying to maintain his weight during his years of high school and collegiate football. When football ended he struggled for many years with his weight going up and down. He tried every diet he could get his hands on, having temporary success but would eventually gain the weight back plus often times more. Food was his obsession whether on a weight loss diet or on the American diet of eating whatever and whenever as long as it felt good. He finally realized his source of comfort and pleasure seeking was turning to food and not God. He has spent the last several years trying to develop a plan to get his life back on track with a Christ-centered life and turning to God for peace. Now, he wants to share what he has learned and help others turn away from the bondage of food and into the arms of God.

We are ready to speak to your group! We feel the call to spread the good news of renewal and God-centered living. We always bring a ton of FUN to any group that will listen!
