Job Description

About us:
Embody was founded in Fairfield County, CT in 2008 by an entrepreneur who sought to simplify healthy eating.  He recognized that food choice was just as important as physical activity in one’s fitness.   However, what was lacking was a resource that offered healthy and delicious food to match a fast-paced, on-the-go lifestyle.  To solve this problem, EMBODY Fitness Gourmet was created.  EMBODY has since become the premier everyday Fairfield County food destination for people who understand the benefits of healthy living, and care deeply about their well-being.
