Responds Nicki Anderson, owner of Reality Fitness in Naperville, Illinois, Having been an obese teen, I know only too well the challenges that come from an inactive lifestyle. To receive an award that so clearly demonstrates my passion for inspiring others to wellness is more than I could have imagined. My passion is my purpose and my clients inspire me every single day.
