Widchard is the Founder and CEO of LivFit Fitness, a private and semi-private personal training studio located in the heart of Newark’s Central Business District. With over 20 years of experience in fitness and wellness, Widchard brings a deep-rooted passion for helping individuals transform their lives through intentional movement, personalized coaching, and community-focused support.
In early 2020, Widchard made the bold decision to launch LivFit Fitness just as the world was shutting down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After losing his job at a corporate gym in New York City and watching most of his private clients leave the region, he was faced with a defining question: Should he move forward with his vision — or wait for safer timing? The answer was clear. LivFit was born out of disruption but built on purpose.
His own fitness journey began while working at Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, right in downtown Newark. That journey sparked a lifelong mission to create a space that empowers people to build physical and mental strength, no matter where they’re starting from.
At LivFit Broad Street, Widchard leads a team of dedicated trainers who specialize in private & semi-private training (3:1 ratio), offering personalized strength, mobility, and functional fitness programs tailored to individual goals. The studio emphasizes real results, community accountability, and sustainable wellness.
Under Widchard’s leadership, LivFit has grown into a respected local brand and is currently preparing for its next chapter: a full-service gym and wellness facility set to open in Newark as well.
Whether you're returning to fitness, recovering from injury, or looking to take your performance to the next level, Widchard's approach is grounded, motivating, and deeply human.
