aboutus

The – Effort (formerly 1803) a wellness clinic destination where fitness, therapy, nutrition and lifestyle transformation meet.

After a back injury early in his career, Coach Lookman realized the wellness industry was divided—trainer, nutritionist, and pain therapy specialist all working separately with little coordination.

 

Many were engaging in workouts without truly understanding proper movement, while others focused solely on pain relief without building strength to prevent issues. This inspired him to bridge the divide fostering a holistic approach to wellness that integrates fitness nutrition, and rehabilitation seamlessly.

He realized the industry needed a bridge.

That vision became 1803 later changed to The – Effort to best suit our mission: A place where fitness meets therapy, where nutrition supports recovery, and where every person is treated with a whole-body approach — not just a workout plan or a massage appointment.
