Bright & Fit Fitness program description

Alice Veglio, born on July 6th 1995 in Italy, found herself having to overcome a serious health disease since the age of 13: the diagnosis of a dangerous vertebral rotation that would have forced her to give up physical activity for the rest of her life. Alice has been a ballet dancer since the age of 3 and this diagnosis led her to lose all security and hope in a free and happy future. Alice found herself immobilized with a cast on her back which made her unable to even tie her shoes and, thanks to the help of valid professionals, she managed to avoid undergoing a dangerous operation. Once the plaster was removed from her back, Alice’s mission in life became to study in the best institutions and find valid tools to regain her freedom and be able to move and eliminate the fear of immobility from her life forever. It is for this reason that Alice, together with an Economics and Marketing University degree, has also many certifications in the world of wellness and health: diploma in holistic sciences for health, specialization in nutrition sciences at Stanford University, diploma of personal trainer, yoga teacher diploma, life coach and NLP practitioner diploma and specialization in bioenergetic manual techniques.

The Final Lines

“My greatest ambition in my everyday life is to be able to make a concrete difference and make my effective contribution to the life of women regardless of their physical, geographical and social condition. My main goal is to allow people to live better, reconsider their potential and become aware that anything is possible in life. This vision characterizes every innovation and initiative in the company. It’s for that reason that in June 2021 we started an important charity project called Bright &Fit Cares through which we offer concrete help to women with physical or social difficulties. Our first initiative was to support ANDOS, one of the most important breast cancer prevention and treatment organizations in Italy,” concluded Alice.
