“Wellness Warriors” launch fight for a healthy VI
Local boys Kamau Georges, Dalan Vanterpool and Roy Parillon have started the movement called Wellness Warriors where their goal, through the use of Zrii, is to help 1,000 residents or warriors lose 10 pounds or more in 2012 with the incentive for those who lose weight to win cash and other prizes.
The group has some $10,000 of cash and prizes to award for the year as incentives for weight loss.
On January 14, 2012 at the Moorings Conference Room, Zrii and the Wellness Warriors movement were introduced to the Virgin Islands and a group of interested persons.
Zrii was officially launched in May 2008 as an international Ayurvedic wellness company and according to its website, www.zrii.com, its health products are considered to be the only ones that originate in the 5,000-year-old wisdom of Ayurveda and gives an individual more than just antioxidants. Each natural ingredient is specifically chosen to compliment the Amalaki fruit, one of the core health foundations in Ayurvedic principles, and provide a specific function to the body. Zrii also holds the most prestigious endorsement in the industry—an endorsement from the Chopra Center for Wellbeing owned by Dr. Deepak Chopra and is the only product that has ever earned his endorsement.
The company currently has on the market a nutritional drink made from the Amalaki fruit, a detox and cleanse product called Purify which is also proven to help lose weight, a nutritional shake called Achieve, which also assist to curb appetite and help with weight management, and Accell, an on-the-go weight management product.
Persons can also sign up online to be part of the Z Body Challenge and also win prizes based on their weight loss.

Travis Martin, VIP of Sales at Zrii said the biggest reason he came to the Virgin Islands was to support the leadership of Georges and Vanterpool.
“They want the BVI, they call it their family, to have a body transformation, to look great and feel great. Our purpose of being here was to support that leadership and let everyone know the company is here to support anyone else who gets involved in the Z body challenge, work with Kamau’s group. We just want to let everyone know we are tangible, we are real.”
While there are ongoing studies to show the scientific relations to weight loss and health transformations, Martin says there are many testimonials from those who use the products with evidence of weight loss and transformations.
Martin said currently Zrii is in the United States where it is based, Israel, Columbia, Peru, Mexico City, and is experiencing double digit growths in Latin American markets as obesity is a big problem there.
Losing weight, health and wellness, and winning prizes are not the only benefits of Zrii, as it is a network marketing business that offers numerous incentives for promoting its products which are done mainly through persons who would have used the product themselves and reap the benefits.
Explaining the money making aspect of the product, Martin said the company does not allocate marketing dollars but rather uses people to promote its products.
Meanwhile, Georges said he is super excited about the product and the turn out to the launching.
Asked what is the next step of the movement, Georges said it is to make people feel they can succeed by using the products and he himself has set some challenging goals to set an example.
As his own challenge, he pledged to run three half marathons this year, double his physical strength and get his black belt in two years, all from a vegan diet and using the Zrii products.
“I want to inspire people out there, whether you are slim, have a fitness goal, if you are overweight. The next thing is to spread the word and get people involved.”
To the people of the VI, he said: “You are capable of doing more than 50 percent of what you are doing and you haven’t even scratch the surface of what your potential is and you can create the most amazing life for yourself with just a little motivation. This is about confidence and with using weight loss, whether you transform yourself or make more money for yourself and your family.”
One of the attendees at the launch Cheryl George said she has always been concerned about her weight and her 17-year-old daughter’s and plans to try the products.
“As I sat there I had about 20 persons in mind who I know will want to use the product. I have quite a number of my friends who are concerned about their weight and I am ready to introduce them to the products. I also want my daughter to try it as she has more weight than me and when the results come from her that will definitely be a testimony to others,” added Ms. George.
