Pro-Activity works with local Eagle Scout to open public trail a n d c e l e b r at e 1 5 y e a r s i n b u s i n e s s by Joe Galioto Pro-Activity Associates, LLC in Lebanon started in September 1998 as the brainchild of siblings Amy and Mike Eisenhart & continued to grow as they worked to evolve a small physical therapy practice into a "full-service human achievement company." Today, Pro-Activity provides workplace wellness programs to multiple Fortune 500 companies, and athletic performance and fitness training, physical therapy, health coaching, and healthier eating alternatives (via their Fuel Good Cafe) to individuals, families, corporations, and teams.   But more than just the services they provide, Pro-Activity has made it their business to invest in and support the communities that surround them.  With the opening of their BaseCamp 31 facility in 2010, Pro-Activity formalized the launch of a separate, community-member directed 501(c)3 non-profit organization, whose mission is to foster healthy community and personal development through shared experiences of like-minded people. Pro-Activity partner Eric Eisenhart who also chairs the BaseCamp 31 not-forprofit commented, "At Pro-Activity we often use words like goals, journey and achievement, and believe that with the right information and coaching, and when surrounded by an environment designed to support, extraordinary human achievements is inevitable.  So we couldn't think of any better way to celebrate Pro-Activity's 15 year milestone than to join up with the BaseCamp 31 community, and Eagle Scout candidate Nathan Gartlegruber, Troop 191 in Bethlehem Township, to build a public walking and jogging trail on the Pro-Activity grounds - to secure his Eagle Scout rank and signify the next segment of our journey!" Pro-Activity Associates, LLC is located at 1250 - Route 31, Lebanon, NJ.

Its interior is best described as "factory-chic" with a decidedly funky vibe. Think Chelsea Market. "My goal," says Sue, "is for mothers and daughters to shop together happily, contentedly, and each find something wonderful to take home." She encourages potential shoppers to "like" the store on Facebook in order to stay apprised of new deliveries.
