Not only has Steve Ilg and his Path of Wholistic Fitness® been a leader in the East/West and body/mind fitness industry, he was one of the first "professional bloggers" promoting a Dharma-based personal fitness service ever established in 1983. While there are now many online fitness trainers and computerized fitness schemes to choose from, none of them possess the owner expertise that Coach Steve Ilg and his Path of Wholistic Fitness® does. Put his 45+ years of experience in spiritual and sport and lifestyle fitness to work for you. Choose from multiple popular products and services, protect your personal fitness journey with private consultations - online or via phone.

Everest of Personal Training" all custom-designed for YOUR lifestyle, willingness, temperament, and capacity.

A lifetime of fitness and spiritual growth comes with every Wholistic Fitness purchase - be it online training or one of Coach's training products such as his books. In fact, his first book, "THE OUTDOOR ATHLETE", published by Johnson Books long before the 'extreme sport fad' back in 1985, is still acknowledged by many premier outdoor athletes as, "Their Training Bible." The book now resides - out of print - in the National Mountain Biking Hall of Fame. Another one of Steve's many publications, "BE GOOD TO YOUR BODY THERAPY" (Abbey Press) has been in 13 different languages and his most recent book, "TOTAL BODY TRANSFORMATION" (Hyperion Press, 2005) has been called, "The Upanishadic Text Of Modern Fitness." If asked which one of his many books was his personal favorite, Coach replied, "Well, by training yogis are not supposed to have 'favorites' for it gives rise to Duality, however, if pressed, i would say it's a tie between THE WINTER ATHLETE (Johnson Books, 2003) and AI IMAWA; The Practice and Presence of Inner Harmony (self published). Unlike many personal fitness and yoga companies, Wholistic Fitness is a Dharma Protection Service and is backed by decades of countless, unsolicited student testimonials and "5-Star" customer service. Coach's 24/7 loving care means that if you ever run into a challenge with your products or service, Coach or an assistant is on call to help you. No matter what type of fitness or spiritual health capacity you need, Coach offers an option that will suit your needs. To learn more about our Standard, Advanced, and Pro packages, please visit the "Coaching" page. When choosing a Wholistic Fitness product or service, be sure to note all of the features involved before deciding which feel most appropriate for your unique Journey. 

Affordable Spiritual-Based Personal Fitness From A World-Class Athlete and Teacher
What exactly is the philosophy of Wholistic Fitness that makes it such a unique offering on the planet during this time of what yogis know as, Kali Yuga - the spiritual dark age? Although everyone who encounters Wholistic Fitness (known affectionally as simply "WF" within our Tribe) adapts the Mastery of WF to their own abilities and goals, the actual training philosophy has been called, "Fitness Genius At Its Versatile Best." If you choose to become a Master Student of Wholistic Fitness, you will have been trained for years in a steady, natural, and absolutely fun progressive artistry of Five Fitness Disciplines and Four Lifestyle Principles. The Five Fitness Disciplines of Wholistic Fitness include; Strength, Cardio, Yoga, Meditation, and Nutrition. The Four Lifestyle Principles are designed to 'blur the zone between where you think your workout ended and where it begins...because in WF, Your Highest Workout Is Everywhere," according to Coach Ilg. Specifically the Four Lifestyle Principles are Breath and Posture, Mindfulness, Appropriate Action, and Practice. Each one functions as a springboard to a panoply of Inner Workouts which then act as a spiritual catalyst toward Awakening and one day, Enlightenment. WF is the only truly native Western style of Yoga in the sense that in WF, no physiologic capacity of the human being is pushed aside from the traditional meaning of 'yoga' or 'union'. As Coach teaches, "In WF we do not consider a Bench Press any less Sacred than a Chaturanga."

WF Is A Spiritual Work Highlighter
Don't exhaust your time or limit your notion of spiritual work to just one specific discipline. "The only grounded way to Enlightenment," says Coach, "is through the mergence of mind into each physiologic capacity of our amazing bodies. In WF, we attack our Weaknesses for there, in our Weaknesses and our negative habits and lazy tendencies, is where our Highest Wholeness lies. WF is very yogic in the sense that we Practice a Path that is very ego-confrontational...even first-year Students get annoyed by the continual basic Self Awareness Teachings of WF such as asking yourself, 'Where is my Conscious Breath right now? Where is my Postural Elegance right now?' This type of ongoing attention to Consciousness is not the way to make friends with your ego which is constantly seeking entertainment and comfort and temporary pleasure. In WF, I am training you in Inner-Attainment, not EnterTainment like the mass of common non-Practitioners." Wholistic Fitness can give you unmatched caliber of professional fitness design for a fraction of the price, and with an overlooked bonus -- Wholeness. Choosing Wholistic Fitness, a long-time leader in one-on-one fitness solutions, will mean you never have to worry about wasting your available training time or whether you are creating a spiritual void instead of ascent by loving your sport or fitness or job. Many fitness 'professionals' do not walk their talk and great sport-specific athletes often make the absolute worst Teachers because they live with blinders on when it comes to Balance and Wholeness. No other human being has accomplished what Coach Ilg has done; athletically or energetically; using meditation and yoga to overcome a spinal paralysis and smashed pelivis to compete in 6 World Championships in five different sports, including several Course and World Records. Now, THAT type of mind/body mastery is what yoga or "union" is all about! So, don't panic when you want to change the flow of your fitness or life goals... all you need to do is give us a call.
