Founder’s Story

James McGovern - Founder

Our Values

Faith

We believe God has given all of us a purpose and a path to reach that purpose. We trust that this can give us a sense of optimism and comfortability knowing that everything that happens to us happens for a reason. We’re on this planet to serve one another and we take that into every aspect of the business we do. As individuals, as well as a company, we look at every day as an opportunity to better ourselves in the eyes of God. With faith, our opportunities are limitless and so are the number of lives we can change.

Service

“Through love, serve one another” – Galatians 5:13. This bible verse doesn’t only represent our company, but ourselves as individuals. People come first. ALWAYS. Our priority is to help you reach your highest potential being. We genuinely care about getting you results because it fulfills what we believe we were put on this earth to do: serve.

Growth

With growth comes adversity. Resilience comes from the desire within, that passion to grow and improve not only in our health but in every aspect of our lives. We want to help you grow into that person you’ve always wanted to be, your happiest and healthiest self. We hold each other accountable to reach new limits and create a standard that we thought we could never reach. Be optimistic, be resilient, conquer goals, and REPEAT.

Discipline

With discipline, we create a world where our goals become our accomplishments. Accountability on our end and discipline on yours will yield results. You have goals in your head that we, together, will make a reality. It’s that simple.

Health

At Slainte, we firmly believe that our health ranks second in importance only to our faith in God. When we neglect our health, we inadvertently neglect ourselves, making it challenging to provide the care and support our loved ones deserve. Our health should be a top priority, no questions asked.

Community

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! -Psalm 133:1. God calls us to unite, and at Slainte, we believe that gathering together fosters a stronger, more honoring community. Join a community of like-minded people who are all striving to become healthier versions of themselves!
