Our Story

Sydney Monahan, the founder of Avenza Fitness and Wellness Consulting, embarked on this venture after observing a widespread sense of complacency in individuals who suffered from joint pain, limited mobility, constant fatigue, and an overwhelming anxiety or confusion on where to begin their fitness journey. Sydney firmly believed that these challenges could be overcome with education, support, and access to skilled professionals who can guide them through the steps necessary to create change towards their goals. This is when Avenza Fitness and Wellness Consulting came to fruition, a platform that comes to you. We recognize the potential for positive change through lifestyle and preventative medicine. Our mission is to meet you where you are and push you toward your health and fitness goals.
