Tru Health and Wellness

David Zappasodi and Craig Morgan met in 2001 at a fitness club in San Diego, where they both worked as personal trainers. They immediately saw in each other a mutual desire to help their fitness clients at the deepest level possible, and would often have long discussions about cutting edge health concepts, holistic approaches to exercise and nutrition, and the weaknesses that they saw in the fitness industry.  In 2003, the two founded Integrated Health & Fitness in San Diego, California. The name that the company operates under was changed to TRU Health & Wellness in 2008. From the beginning, the company defined health in their own way, and the TRU definition of health is the foundation upon which all developments and growth have been built on.
