CPT, CES

 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.

CPT, FKT

 Daniel is a NASM-certified personal trainer and Lead Trainer at LivFit Fitness, specializing in functional strength, movement quality, and results-driven programming that prioritizes long-term sustainability and client confidence.

Daniel’s passion for fitness took root during his time at Rutgers University – Newark, where he frequently turned to training as a personal outlet and discipline. When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted everyday life, he made a pivotal decision: to turn his commitment to wellness into a profession. With gyms closed and uncertainty rising, Daniel used that time to invest in himself—earning his personal training certification to gain deeper knowledge and help others take control of their health.

Since then, Daniel has helped clients ranging from busy professionals to complete beginners build strength, movement confidence, and resilience through science-based, functional training. His sessions are highly efficient and intentionally programmed, blending strength, mobility, and core work into full-body routines that are both challenging and accessible.

With ongoing training in advanced techniques like Functional Kettlebell Training (FKT), Daniel ensures that every client experience is rooted in purposeful movement, proper form, and measurable progress.

As Lead Trainer at LivFit Fitness, Daniel leads by example—supporting clients and fellow trainers alike in creating safe, effective, and empowering fitness journeys that extend beyond the studio walls.
