"When I first began working with Fitz I knew about her endeavors and her deeply rooted desire to make the world a healthier place. What I didn't know was how exceptionally she could convey that passion with words. I began attending speaking engagements at which I knew Fitz would be presenting and sharing her vision. I soon learned what an eloquent, invigorating and dynamic speaker she truly is. Fitz' inspirational capability shines through when she presents, as the things she conveys to an audience are not only rooted in fact and personal experience but in her own understanding of what it truly means to live well. Taking on so much at all times, Fitz does so with a tact and level of knowledge that I one day aspire to obtain in my own work. Fitz also has an uncanny ability to inspires the youth with which she works, accessing them at a level they can comprehend and absorb. This ability to tailor her message to a wide variety of audiences is a rare characteristic and one that Fitz leverages with the utmost precision. It has been and continues to be an honor to both learn and work with Fitz Koehler and I offer my highest level of recommendation for her and all that she does both now and in the future."

“Fun, vibrant, and most-importantly, informational. That is how I would describe Fitz as a speaker. She is, without doubt, one of the most inspirational forces in fitness today. Those fortunate enough to have heard her speak instantly have a new appreciation for fitness as a lifestyle, not just an activity. Her regular columns are fun and educational, and are no doubt the catalyst for many individual’s first steps toward a healthier body and mind. My company, Rob Bailey Communications, works with some of the world’s best-known entertainers and athletes. Many of these individuals, due to strenuous travel schedules and limited free time, have devised unique workouts that help them stay fit and focused. Fitz has shown an uncanny ability to utilize these special, and sometimes-unorthodox exercise tactics, of celebrities and world-class athletes to offer new routines, practices or workout concepts that the average person can incorporate into the fitness regime. For those who don’t know Fitz, I feel sorry for you. She is an instant ray of sunshine mixed with a zap of motivation. I’d never hesitate to bring a client, friend or family member to her teachings. There is simply nothing to lose, except flab and fatigue, and everything to gain.”

“On the mic, and in life, Fitz is a force to be reckoned with. She announced the Buffalo Marathon at the height of her cancer treatments and never missed a beat. Like Fitz, My Noisy Cancer Comeback is educational, encouraging, and uplifting!”
Greg WeberBuffalo Marathon Race Director
I started working with Fitz for a boutique women's athletic shoe line in Miami. Originally hired for on-air, local promotions we quickly realized that she offered an entire media mix and brand representation. We built in additional opportunities for blogger relations, on-line giveaways, television product placement, educational videos, charity appearances and industrial trade show representation. Each time Fitz was prepared, flexible, creative and able to perform under any circumstances from rain to last minute and live publicity opportunities. She is delightful, smart and our audience loved her.
Jennifer NayakTheraFit, PR

“The comeback is always stronger than the setback. No one epitomizes this more than Fitz Koehler. As one of the most skillful and electrifying race announcers in America, she bravely and unselfishly continued to motivate and inspire runners throughout her cancer treatment. Fitz has courageously and nobly shared her personal experiences battling cancer in the public eye. My Noisy Cancer Comeback will inspire not only endurance athletes but every person needing the push to “be strong” and defy the odds.”
Dave McGillivrayBoston Marathon Race Director/DMSE Sports
“When on the mic Fitz is a force to be reckoned with. With her excitement she takes control of the crowd, gets everyone excited, informs the crowd and athletes, sends them off, and then after a long long day announces each and every one of them as if they were the first one to cross the finish line. She encourages everyone and makes it their own personal journey even at the 2019 Buffalo Marathon while undergoing her own race toward beating the cancer finish line. If you didn’t have knowledge that she was on her own personal adventure you would not have never known by the excitement she brought to our event as if it was her first time announcing an event. Fitz’s book will help you find strength in places that you didn’t know existed and inspire you to battle back to enjoy life to the fullest.”
Richard J ClarkBuffalo Marathon Operations Director
