Through an abundance of fitness & nutrition resources, post-production professionals can design a program that works around their schedule and lifestyle. But most importantly, Fitness In Post provides a desperately needed community where post professionals can support each other in their unified goal to live healthier. Thousands of dollars are spent annually on the latest hardware, endless hours are spent learning new software, but not enough is time invested into the importance of including exercise, proper nutrition and wellness into your life in order to feel better and live longer.
