Fitness Motivators CELEBRATING 20 YEARS! THANK YOU!

Fitness Motivators program was originated on April 4, 1989, in the Highland/Milford Michigan area by me, Donna. A few years later my twin-sister Debbie came onboard and helped make Fitness Motivators a successful, proven-results company. We  could not have done this without our wonderful clients and dedicated instructors. Thank you all very much for being part of Fitness Motivators! We will continue to do our best in offering the best, original fitness program in our area.
