Vicki Doe Fitness.com
Founded by Haywood Doe Consulting Co., LLC.: DBA Vicki Doe Fitness
is a multimedia health and wellness forum to discuss, teach, implement, and participate in healthy living. This platform was created based on the many years of the health wellness company going out into the community developing nutrition, exercise, and health programs and realizing that people wanted a place to discuss and ask real questions; “one on one” with the health providers, the exercise and nutrition experts.
Folks wanted to talk about their problems, and get honest, “keeping it real” answers from their health wellness experts. They also wanted to hear what others had to say. They wanted encouragement and social support from others who were as themselves trying to commit to living a healthy lifestyle.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a platform for individuals and communities to participate and enjoy the “art of healthy living”. On this interactive website, we want individuals to get involved in this healthy living movement, learn, discuss, and do what is in their best interest. We provide research-based health wellness information in various ways:
- written articles
- videos
- podcast shows- “It's All About Health & Fitness”
- webinars
- online health fitness programs and courses
- Online Vicki Doe Fitness-Health Fitness Training
for folks to integrate into their everyday lives. At the end of the day, we want individuals to realize that doing something healthy and beneficial for themselves every day will yield positive health outcomes.
“Step by Step to a better you”

They can prescribe a course of exercises for either fitness or rehabilitation/post-rehab. Exercise physiologists work with clients with medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, and other chronic conditions to regain their health and quality of life.
