OUR FOUNDERS STORY

Who We Are

Fitsom is the creation of Marco Guizar and Katelyn O'Neil, visionaries in the realm of health and wellness. They are constant seekers of knowledge, research, and innovative healing techniques. Marco, a former Marine and holistic health practitioner, faced the physical and emotional toll of combat trauma. Working closely with massage therapists, doctors of osteopathic medicine, and wellness practitioners, he discovered the profound impact of bodywork, ice baths, and infrared sauna sessions on his recovery.
This journey ignited his passion for holistic health, driving him and Katelyn to develop an innovative approach that empowers others to manage pain and stress. Recognizing the limitations of conventional treatments, Marco and Katelyn forged a path to develop Fitsom's unique methodology, launching the brand in 2012. Their program integrates the latest findings in anatomy, fascia, and nervous system health, addressing underlying issues that conventional treatments often overlook. Fitsom was born from Marco's personal journey and Katelyn's commitment to holistic wellness, with a mission to provide access to tools and knowledge that can radically transform health, promote longevity, and advance a new standard of health for everyone.
