Biography
La Vita Weaver is an inspirational speaker, author, songwriter and a 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. 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 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.
As the founder of Fit For God Ministries, La Vita is dedicated to encouraging others to fulfill their God-given purpose and enjoy life in all of its fullness. With over 20 years as a certified fitness trainer and as an ordained minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ, God blessed her with a unique approach to healthy living. She shares the body and soul connection in a way many have never heard or experienced before. This empowering message motivates others to take charge of their total health. La Vita is widely known for her uniquely-dynamic speaking style. Described as a gift to the body of Christ, God has anointed her with encouragement and excitability that uplifts the most downtrodden soul. With tireless energy, she’s a woman on fire for God and her genuine enthusiasm for life is contagious as she draws others to the light of Christ.
La Vita strongly believes that ministry is loving and serving God with all that we have and with all that we are, as we love and serve others from a sincere heart. And God uses her across the nation to minister to the needs of all people for total victory.
Once badly broken and bruised, now healed and renewed, she also served in women’s ministry for over 15 years and as director for nearly 10 years to empower women of all walks of life. To further promote total health, she appeared as a guest on the popular Trinity Broadcast Network (TBN) program, “Praise the Lord” and the well-known “700 Club”. In addition, she served as the co-host on the popular TBN health and fitness show "TotaLee Fit". Due to her passion to glorify God in body and spirit, she produced Hallelujah! Aerobics for Body and Spirit, the first spiritually-based exercise program of its kind, as well as 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. At times, however, her heart grieves as she is genuinely concerned for the souls of God’s people. 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).
