THE FIT COLLECTIVE®
PHYSICIAN-LED WELLNESS. HUMAN-CENTERED HEALTH.
At The FIT Collective®, we believe health care works best when medicine, movement, mindset, and meaning come together.
Founded by Dr. Ali Novitsky, board-certified physician and Master Certified Coach, The FIT Collective partners with forward-thinking doctors and clinics to bring evidence-based, sustainable wellness programs directly into patient care—without adding burnout, complexity, or fluff.
Together, we are on a mission to work with 100,000 humans in 2026 to build strength, resilience, and long-term health from the inside out.
Our Story
HOW THIS BECAME A MOVEMENT
Eight years ago, I began working with physicians on their own health—helping them build strength, improve metabolism, regulate stress, and learn the skills we were never taught in medical school.
As these doctors evolved, something powerful happened.
They began sharing:
“I want to practice medicine the way I am learning to live.”
They wanted their practice of medicine to prioritize strength and longevity, understand mindset and behavior change, and integrate wellness inside medicine—not outside of it.
Then we realized something even bigger:
If doctors want this kind of care for themselves, and want to practice this way, then our patients will likely want to be cared for this way too.
That’s when The FIT Collective became more than a program—it became a movement in medicine.
And if you’re finding this page, your doctor is likely part of this movement.
For Patients
CARE THAT GOES BEYOND THE APPOINTMENT
If your doctor is a leader with The FIT Collective®, you may have access to wellness programs designed to support your health between visits, where real change happens.
Our programs focus on:
Building and preserving muscle
Improving metabolic health
Supporting weight loss safely, including GLP-1–guided strategies
Developing mindset and emotional resilience
Creating habits that actually fit real life
These programs are:
Physician-designed
Science-backed
Simple, sustainable, and realistic
Focused on long-term health—not quick fixes
Our Programs
EVIDENCE-BASED. PHYSICIAN-LED. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE.
Each FIT Collective® program is designed to close the gap between what we know creates health—and what people can actually sustain.
The Only Fitness Program You’ll Ever Need
Important Notice
This program is a fitness and mindset education program—not medical treatment and not a substitute for professional medical care. It is offered through select practices as a wellness offering intended to complement, not replace, individualized medical treatment.
The Strategic Strength Approach™
Our Guiding Principle for All FIT Collective Strength Training
At The FIT Collective®, we believe strength training becomes profoundly more effective when it is paired with intentional mindset development.
The Strategic Strength Approach™ reflects the philosophy behind every program we create—uniting physical conditioning with cognitive and emotional skills to build strength that lasts.
This is not a rigid formula or mandate for every workout. It is a guiding framework that shapes how we design training experiences that support confidence, resilience, and sustainable health behavior change.
1. Prime the Mind Before the Movement
Many sessions begin with a brief mindset orientation to help participants ground themselves and train with intention. This may include:
A clear intention (strength, presence, energy, consistency)
A self-concept cue (“I am someone who shows up.”)
A simple nervous-system check-in (calm, grounded, ready)
This creates a psychological container where movement feels purposeful rather than pressured.
2. Build Strength With Awareness
During each workout, participants are guided to stay present in their bodies. Mindful strength cues help them:
Notice the difference between discomfort and danger
Shift from outcome-focus to rep-by-rep engagement
Use micro-regulation tools such as breath, pacing, and form
Build capability and self-trust (“This is what strength feels like.”)
3. Leverage the Effort Window for Neuroplasticity
Physical effort creates a natural neuroplastic window—an optimal moment for cognitive reframing.
Within this window, participants often integrate new mindsets such as:
“Effort means my body is adapting.”
“As my muscles get stronger, my mindset strengthens too.”
“I can do challenging things without pushing into burnout.”
4. Reinforce Identity Through Micro-Wins
Small, meaningful wins create powerful identity shifts.
Our programming encourages light self-reflection with prompts like:
What did I learn about myself today?
What did I do well?
How did I show up for my future self?
5. Normalize the Cycle of Growth
Both physical and emotional development follow predictable cycles.
Strength Cycle: Stress → Recovery → Adaptation
Mindset Cycle: Challenge → Reflection → Recalibration
When participants understand these cycles, fluctuations in motivation or performance become expected—not discouraging.
6. Connect Strength Work to Healthspan
We consistently reinforce how strength training supports long-term vitality:
Muscle preservation during weight loss
Improved metabolic health
Stronger bones and connective tissue
Mobility, balance, and fall prevention
Greater emotional resilience
7. Create a Compassion-Led Environment
Our coaching philosophy centers on psychological safety and agency:
Curiosity over criticism
Compassion over comparison
Agency over perfection
Impact
The Strategic Strength Approach™ transforms strength training from a physical task into a complete mind–body framework—supporting stronger muscles, stronger emotional capacity, and a deeper belief in one’s long-term healthspan potential.

Our Mission
100,000 Humans in 2026. One Collective.
Health is built daily, not annually
Muscle is medicine
Mindset drives outcomes
Doctors change culture when they are supported
One practice at a time. One habit at a time. One human at a time.
Why We Offer This Through Medical Practices
Most people already have access to gyms, apps, and trainers.
That’s not the problem.
The problem is that exercise often becomes another source of stress—especially for women balancing work, family, hormonal changes, body image concerns, and health anxiety.
When stress goes up, consistency goes down.
A medical practice provides a context of safety, trust, and protection—not performance or judgment.
Instead of thinking:
“Can I push myself?”
Participants think:
“This is something my doctor believes is appropriate and supportive for my body right now.”
That framing changes everything.Programs Offered Through Our Medical Partners
When FIT Collective® programs are offered through a medical practice, they are positioned as protective care—not punishment, performance, or pressure.
These programs are designed to meet people where they are physiologically, emotionally, and practically, while still producing meaningful, measurable results.
Below are the core programs our partner practices may offer. Availability varies by practice.
Beginner Strength & Mindset™
The Foundation Program
Beginner Strength & Mindset™ is not just a workout app.
It is a complete, year-long strength and mindset system built to preserve (and often increase) muscle, support weight loss, and create lifelong consistency through strategic minimalism.
This program was originally developed for individuals navigating:
GLP-1–assisted weight loss
Perimenopause and hormonal shifts
Appetite changes
High stress or limited time
But it is effective for any human who wants sustainable strength without rearranging their life.
Program Structure
10-minute sessions
3 days per week
Minimal equipment
No decision fatigue
What Makes It Different
Stimulates muscle without overstimulating appetite
Supports metabolism and muscle preservation
Includes a mindset micro-lesson in every workout
Designed to reduce stress, not add to it
The Three-Level Strength Path
Level 1 — Foundation: Form, activation, confidence
Level 2 — Strength Expansion: Load, tension, muscle quality
Level 3 — Progressive Advancement: Efficiency, power, longevity-based strength
Clinically Observed Outcomes
Muscle preserved or gained (even during weight loss)
Stable appetite
Improved metabolic resilience
Improved emotional regulation
Long-term consistency
This is the program for people who feel like fitness has never been realistic for their life—until now.
Total Strength & Mindset™
Expanded Support for Strength, Mobility, and Regulation
Total Strength & Mindset™ includes everything in Beginner Strength & Mindset™, with expanded options for individuals who want additional depth, variety, and support.
This program is ideal for patients who:
Want longer sessions some days
Are rebuilding after weight loss
Are managing pelvic floor or core concerns
Want integrated recovery and nervous system regulation
Includes
10-, 20-, and 30-minute strength sessions
Core and pelvic floor programming
Yoga flow series for mobility and recovery
Guided meditation series for nervous system regulation
Total Strength & Mindset™ allows patients to progress without pressure, choosing the level of intensity that fits their season of life.
Kid’s Strength & Mindset
Strength, Confidence, and Resilience—Built Early
Kid’s Strength & Mindset 12™ is a year-long program designed to help kids build physical confidence, emotional resilience, and trust in their bodies.
This program focuses on mastery—not intensity.
Program Philosophy
Most kids’ programs chase more: more exercises, more intensity, more pressure.
Kid’s Strength & Mindset 12™ focuses on:
Safety
Repetition
Confidence that lasts
The Structure
12 foundational movement patterns
One simple mindset system
52 weeks of gradual progression
Instead of hundreds of exercises, kids repeat and refine the same movements over time—learning how to control their bodies better each week.
What Kids Learn
How their bodies move
How to handle challenge
How to stay present
How to respond instead of quitting
This builds resilience from the inside out—physically and emotionally.

Physician health and longevity
