Anthony Close is a personal trainer and chiropractor who co-founded Coachbit and is currently the creative director of eKast.
Anthony Close is a big fan of health and fitness. His dedication to fitness led him to co-found the company Coachbit. Coachbit's mission is to bring people "primo solutions for creating a bulletproof life." The company provides a wealth of information to people hoping to improve their well-being. Currently, there are more than 250,000 who make use of the products offered by the website.
One of the products Close had a hand in on Coachbit is the Adaptifier. The Adaptifier allows users to track their workout progress. The product uses metrical data and graphs to help people keep track of what they’re doing. It can be the difference between a great workout and a not-so-great workout at the gym. The device was developed by Dave Dellanave. It keeps track of 13 features of a workout routine. Using Adaptifier, anyone can quickly see what elements of the workout are effective and which are not getting them anywhere.
Along with Coachbit, Anthony Close has also had a hand in creating eKast. EKast is slightly different from Coachbit. It's a freelance marketplace based in New Zealand. The goal of the site is to connect freelancers in New Zealand to people looking to hire them. An employer posts a job on the site and contractors submit proposals and bids for the work. Using eKast allows an employer to pay the price it can afford to get the quality of work it deserves.

Anthony Close has been committed to wellness and fitness all his life. His dedication to health led him to pursue a career in wellness, as a chiropractor. He also pursued entrepreneurial opportunities that allowed him to make the most use of his interest in health and well-being, such as co-founding the products distributing website Coachbit.
Education
Anthony Close began his higher education career by attending Oral Roberts University as an undergraduate. Oral Roberts University is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and is a liberal arts college with around 3,500 students. The school is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. It offers more than 60 degree programs for undergraduate students.
Oral Roberts University was founded in 1963 by Oral Roberts. Roberts, a Christian evangelist, was compelled to create the university in response to a call from God to establish a school that would train students to hear the word of God and spread it. Students began enrolling 1965 and the school was accredited in 1971.
After he attended Oral Roberts University, Anthony Close went to Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW). The school is a regional campus for two public universities in the state, Indiana University and Purdue University. It's the largest university in Northeast Indiana and the fifth largest public school in the entire state.
IPFW was founded in 1964, after two separate schools merged. The origins of the school date back even further. In 1917, Indiana University opened a campus in Fort Wayne for just over 140 students. The extension campus offered 12 courses. Purdue University opened its own campus in 1941, the Purdue University Center. The Purdue campus was designed to give people the opportunity to begin undergraduate degrees in Fort Wayne, and later transfer to the school's main campus in Lafayette to complete the degrees.
The merger of the two campuses began in 1958, when the Indiana-Purdue Foundation was created. The universities began building a center on 99 acres of farmland in 1962. Construction was finished in 1964 and IPFW opened. Four years later, in 1968, the school graduated its first class.
After graduating from IPFW, Anthony Close headed to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Palmer College is one of the top chiropractic colleges in the country. Founded in 1897, the school was the first college of chiropractic medicine in the world. It is often referred to as the "fountainhead" because it was the first school to train chiropractors.
Palmer College was founded by Daniel David Palmer. Dr. Palmer is considered to be the founder of chiropractic medicine. Palmer's son, B.J. Palmer, also became a chiropractor and promoted the study of chiropractic medicine even further. While Daniel David Palmer is often called the founder of chiropractic medicine, B.J. Palmer is called the “Developer,” as he expanded the school and developed chiropractic medicine into what it is today.
The school has expanded considerably since it was founded in Davenport at the turn of the 20th century. It now has three campuses located across the country. The Iowa location serves as the main campus of the school. It also has campuses in Florida and in San Jose, California.
Coachbit
Anthony Close helped to co-found the online company Coachbit. The company was created by a team of doctors, fitness trainers, physical therapists and nurses. One of the goals of the company is to provide a benefit to health and fitness professionals through reaching out to the public.
Another one of the goals of Coachbit is to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to knowledge about health and well-being. There is a wealth of information out in the world about health and fitness. Some of the information is useful and helpful. Some information is inaccurate and can actually do more harm than good when a person who tries to make use of it. Coachbit gives people access to quality information.
Coachbit also provides benefits to those in the health and fitness profession. It's a grim fact that many trainers and others in the fitness profession need to spend a lot of time promoting themselves and selling their products. The time commitment required to self-promote often takes trainers and others in the health industry away from what they do best—helping others achieve fitness or a healthy lifestyle.
Coachbit provides trainers with an opportunity to sell their products to a large group of people. There are currently more than 250,000 users on the site. So far, the website has been offering its services to users and trainers for free. The company has so far been free of charge as a way to help it grow and expand its reach.
eKast
Anthony Close has also applied his talents to founding eKast, a company based in New Zealand. The website connects employers with freelance contractors and facilitates online working relationships. eKast has become New Zealand's most popular online spot to find freelance workers.
eKast is intended to help both companies and freelancers. The site is designed to appeal to major, Fortune 500 companies as well as smaller start-ups. It also appeals to people looking for freelance work or for a way to supplement their income through independent contracting. Anthony Close created the site as a way to make finding the right talent affordable and possible.
The site is user friendly and designed to facilitate working relationships. Companies post openings and contract positions on the site, paying a fraction of what they usually would. eKast can also help companies find the right contractor if a company is completely new to the process.
People looking for work are free to browse the site's listings. Types of jobs posted on eKast include design work, developing mobile apps and technical writing. If a freelancer is awarded a job through eKast, he or she is paid by PayPal at the end of the project. Anthony Close is proud to have put his talents to use creating a service that benefits many.
