Fitness Leader Launches Unique Personal Training for Overweight Men & Women in Wheelchairs

April 22, 2014

Author of 265 Point and ACSM Certified Group Exercise Instructor, Tamara Jackson, brings her fitness expertise to the Internet offering health and fitness guidance to women wanting to lose 30 lbs. or more. This global reach, via technology, allows a personal touch to a difficult challenge for women classified as obese or over weight. “Consistent support and accountability often makes the difference between success and failure, but some struggle to find what they need in their immediate circle. At 265point.com, we bridge that gap by staying in constant contact via phone, Skype, email, SMS, live web streams, social media; whatever it takes to keep our clients motivated to reach their goals."

Tamara takes her professional guidance to a new level by offering membership to women in wheelchairs. Her partnership with wheelchair advocate, speaker, author and mentor, Sharina Jones, is a milestone in serving 68% of wheelchair users who happen to be women. "Just because you are a wheelchair user doesn't mean you can't take control of your weight; there are options and the time for change is now.

"The opportunity to offer this fitness support to a large and overlooked sector of our society supports the Tamara Jackson and Sharina Jones campaign “Disability does not mean Inability”. 

Tamara Jackson adds, "I am constantly amazed by the strength of these women. Every day they make a difference at home, work, school, and in the community. Our goal is to help women in wheelchairs use that same strength to stay healthy and fit." More info about the fitness program, information and membership can be found at 265point.com.
