ColorFUEL co-founders and A2O co-owners Jennifer Ludington and Allison Casper began on a journey to a healthier, more active lifestyle after several years of working in similar finance related jobs. Quite literally, we were struggling to just get through our busy work days, relying heavily on caffeine and packaged foods. We soon came to realize that there had to be a better and healthier way. Shortly after changing our own personal lifestyles and finding a new found energy through food and fitness, we were able to combine our passion for helping people and our mutual love of cooking. We traded in our stilettos for sneakers and became personal fitness trainers. Together, we founded ColorFUEL LLC where we are simplifying real food for real people with real lives. We continue to enjoy training clients at A2O and invite you to visit us soon!
