About
Grow Towards Wellness
Choose to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Wellness is more than being free from illness: it is a process of change and growth towards a mentally and physically healthy lifestyle.
Your Health & Wellness Matter
In order to live a higher quality life, maintaining optimal wellness is key. Everything we feel and do relates to our well-being and directly affects our actions and emotions. In order to subdue stress, reduce illness, and ensure positive moments in your life, you must achieve optimal wellness.
Live With Passion & Purpose
To achieve optimal wellness, one must apply it towards every possible endeavor. You can apply a wellness approach towards your environment, community, career, belief systems, physical activities, self care, healthy eating, self esteem, and creative activities. Applying wellness in your everyday life will allow you to achieve your full potential and live with passion and purpose.
About Sonja Zonetta McLean Williams
Sonja Zonetta McLean Williams, is a native of Jacksonville, NC. I am currently a Certified Group Fitness Instructor, teaching Water Fitness, Cycling, Synrgy, and Tabata.
I started my fitness journey in 2008, when our former pastor's husband started a fitness group at the church. One morning, he challenged another member and me to run with the guys. We took him up on his challenge and as they say, the rest is history. I ran my first race in April 2009 and placed 1st in my age group. I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment, even if I had not received an award. Since that time, I have run over 130 races, to include 5ks, 8ks, 10ks, half marathons, and marathons. I've even traveled to Jamaica, and Paris, France to run.
Prior to retiring as a music educator of 30 years, I became certified to teach cycling and group fitness classes. It was a way to encourage others and help them on them fitness journey. Additionally, I am the Health and Wellness coordinator at my church.
In July 2020, during the pandemic, I launched my online wellness shop. Opening the wellness shop was an effort to further assist others on their health and wellness journey.
At SonjaFit2aZWellness, it's wellness from A-Z!!
