The Fitness Jumpsite: Mission

The mission of the Fitness Jumpsite is to provide quality fitness, health and nutrition related information and education across the globe. The Jumpsite is a non-commercial labor of love. It is our intent to wholeheartedly contribute to the awareness and momentum of the health and fitness movement by providing resources and support that will cultivate happy, healthy, and fit lifestyles.

The Founders
Founders of the Fitness Jumpsite, Vicki Pierson and Renee Cloe, met on an Internet fitness discussion group called Fit-L in 1994. They quickly started communicating via e-mail on a daily basis, sharing their mutual interest and enthusiasm for health and fitness. After several months of getting to know one another, sharing workout programs and becoming great friends, they decided to study for the ACE (American Council on Exercise) Personal Trainer certification exam. Being the cyberspace junkies that they are, Vicki and Renee set up a "Study Buddy" system, passing chapter questions, quizzes, and emotional support to one another via e-mail.

Vicki and Renee have never met one another face-to-face. Their first phone conversation was the day they received word that they had passed the Personal Trainer exam, almost 8 months after meeting on-line. Although they had never spoken before, the conversation was that of old friends.

Within weeks of passing the exam, Vicki and Renee decided to be the first to address a growing need in the fitness community on the Internet. While there was extensive fitness related information available on-line, locating and organizing it was more difficult than naming each individual muscle in the human body! Where do you begin? Vicki and Renee saw an opportunity to bring all of the health, fitness, and nutrition information together in one, easy to access, on-line directory. Consequently, the Fitness Jumpsite was born. The Jumpsite has changed over the years, but Vicki and Renee's original goal still endures today as the Jumpsite continues to provide a non-commercial site that supports happy, healthy and fit lifestyles.
