Biography
La Vita Weaver is a inspirational speaker, author, songwriter and fitness trainer. She knows first-hand how being overweight can affect every area of one’s life. Once a petite size 5, her weight had skyrocketed to an unhealthy 200 pounds. She found herself spiraling down a deep dark tunnel of life’s regrets and despair. Her self-esteem and well-being had plummeted to an all-time low as she struggled with profound emotional and spiritual problems. After suffering with bingeing, depression and anxiety attacks, La Vita discovered hope, health and healing through prayer and the powerful word of God. As the author of “Fit For God: The 8-Week Plan that Kicks the Devil OUT and Invites Health and Healing IN”, her inspirational story and her expertise as the leader of many successful workshops are woven together in a highly effective eight-week program of sound nutrition and exercise, prayer and praise, and inspirational passages from the Bible. In her new book Fight To Be Fit: Becoming The Best God Created You To Be—Healthy, Vibrant and Free! La Vita shares life-changing biblical principles to motivate you to take action, overcome obstacles and to continue to build a healthy spirit, soul and body to fulfill you God-given purpose to the best of your ability.
As the founder of Fit For God Ministries, La Vita is dedicated to encouraging all people to pursue complete health and healing to fulfill their purpose in Christ. Her vibrant personality and enthusiasm for the Lord is contagious as she shares empowering messages at workshops, conferences, churches and retreats across the nation. She serves as the director of the women's ministry where she has an innate passion to provide hope, health, healing and strength to women of all walks of life through the powerful word of God.
God uses La Vita mightily to minister to the needs of women for total victory. Once badly broken and bruised, now healed, restored and created anew, she has an urgency in her heart to encourage women to be all God created us to be—fit for God— spirit, soul and body!
La Vita has appeared as a guest on the popular Trinity Broadcast Network (TBN) program, “Praise the Lord” and the well-known “700 Club”, and she has been featured in Essence, Excellence, Heart & Soul and Shape magazines and other national publications. She also shared healthy living and the Word of God internationally as the co-host on the popular TBN health and fitness program "TotaLee Fit". To further promote healthy living, La Vita is the originator of Hallelujah! Aerobics for Body and Spirit, the first spiritually-based exercise program of its kind. Due to her passionate desire to praise the Lord from the depths of her soul, she produced The Essence of Praise: Wonderful Jesus praise and worship CD.
La Vita is a woman deeply grateful for all the Lord Christ has done in her life and therefore, has intense enthusiasm to serve the Lord with her whole being. At times, however, her heart grieves as she is genuinely concerned for the souls of God’s people. She deeply desires that all would accept the free gift of salvation and pursue total deliverance to live an abundant life through Jesus Christ. She shares one of her favorite scriptures, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have pass away; behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17). She gives God all the glory, honor and praise for His inconceivable love and for giving her a brand new life!
