The Author


Bill Cortright is the creator of a totally new and ground-breaking approach to achieve total health, wellness and permanent weight loss called The BioFit Program. This new and innovative approach is the result of over twenty five year of Bill’s personal research and experience.

It was built on Bill’s personal need to have a weight control and health program that worked for him.
Bill grew up obese, losing and gaining 100 pounds three times throughout his 20’s. After trying everything in the market he realized that nothing worked on a long term basis and began to find his own answers. Bill’s journey toward finding a more scientific approach to weight loss began in 1983 when he joined the US Navy. During his 5 year career in the navy Bill worked as a corpsman in the Great Lakes Naval Hospital and became the head corpsman of the family practice and primary care clinics.  He was also in charge of the Military Sick Call where he learned to read labs and do routine patient exams.  Working as a corpsman for the Navy allowed him to work closely with attending Physicians and to learn the basic principles of primary care, emergency room practices, family practice and patient care.  This work experience and the knowledge acquired during this time became the basis for the scientific approach he used to create what today is known as the BioFit Program.

During his navy career Bill also worked as an athletic petty officer (APO) and was in charge on leading the company through their boot camp exercise. During this time Bill became the “go to” person for fitness advice and he began to create a following of sorts due to the fact that everyone he advised achieved unprecedented health and fitness goals.

His experience as both corpsman and athletic petty officer came together in a unique way and formed his unique approach to wellness and fitness that formed the foundation for the BioFit Concept.  Bill’s innovative concept successfully integrates science and medical principals with his unique approach to health and fitness.

After leaving the Navy Bill opened the first personal training studio in Miami, Florida. During this time in Bill’s career he became the first Health and Fitness professional to work with active adults in their 70’s 80’s and 90’s.  This experience marked a new direction in Bill’s career since he began to research and study the effects of exercise and nutrition as people age.  While working with active adults Bill continued to practice his new and innovative theories on proper exercise and nutrition to build longevity and quality of life.

During his years in Florida he became a member of the Miami Dade school board of physical education and an active speaker for the community. He gave lectures on Corporate Wellness to companies such as American Airlines, Continental Hotels, Northern Trust Banks, Adidas, Coca Cola Co. Burger King Corp. Dell Computers and many others.

In 2002 Bill and his family moved to Panama City, Panama where they opened the first Wellness testing clinic in Latin America (and the world). 

Soon after this first Center began operating in 2002 Bill had the opportunity to meet and Present his program to Dr. William Evans, researcher and developer of the Ten Bio-Markers of Aging.  Dr. Evan’s seal of approval of Bill’s usage of the ten biomarkers within the BioFit Program marked an important milestone in the evolution of this new approach to measuring wellness.

In the last 6 years Bill has had the opportunity to work in association with renowned Doctors from a number of different specialties such as Dr. Adriano Delgado, a Harvard graduate endocrinologist, Dr. Jorge Paz-Rodriguez internal medicine specialist from the University of Texas among others.  Through this association Bill has found methods to integrate conventional medical practices with cutting edge metabolic analysis to create a new approach to Wellness testing and program development.

In 2009 The BioFit Center operation had mature enough to be ready to be introduced into the US market.
The BioFit Center in Miami Beach (to open in January 2010) is the final evolution of Bill’s career and program and it is a testament to his dedication to helping people become healthier and live a better quality of life.
