The Vitaerobics Story

Vitaerobics was started in 1986 by my parents, John and Patricia Borer. Here is their story.

Pat and John Borer

My mom picked my dad up at the airport on that fateful Friday evening in 1980 and immediately knew something was wrong. It was worse than she imagined. My dad had suffered a heart attack and needed immediate surgery. Looking back, his heart attack shouldn’t have been a surprise. His great grandfather, his grandfather and his father all had heart attacks and died at an early age. End of story…or was it?

You see, my dad took control of his health and lived another 16 active and healthy years. He got to know 19 of his grandchildren because of the lifestyle changes he made. In turn, they had the gift of a grandfather in their lives. And, it all started by changing one belief—the belief that he could take control of his health, rather than his health controlling him. The whole family benefitted, not just from the extra years with him, but also from the things he and my mom shared with all of us as they became health and nutrition experts.

One of the things that my parents learned was that only 20% of health issues are caused by genetics. The other 80% are a result of lifestyle choices that we make each day. My parents also found that many of the health issues that people think are genetic are actually a result of people practicing the same unhealthy habits they learned growing up. By changing the belief that his health was predetermined by genetics, my dad changed the end of his own story, and the stories of generations to come. How powerful is that?

Today as the new owners of Vitaerobics, Michael and I continue to share the time-tested principles that saved my dad’s life—understand what you are eating, and make healthy choices each day.
