Biography

One day – about 10 years ago – I decided I wanted to go for a run. Just a mile. I couldn't do it. I was a multi-sport varsity athlete in high school, and now I couldn't run one mile without stopping. Fast forward to today, and I've completed a marathon, more than 20 half-marathons and countless 10-mile, 10K and 5K competitions. What happened was I decided to study and implement the principles of overall health and fitness into my life. I now understand nutrition, weight-lifting, cardio, flexibility and even a little yoga. My approach is to build real, functional fitness through a wide range of activities. Now all I want to do is to help somebody else get to the finish line.

I believe that becoming healthier is an individualized process. It involves what we consume, how we move and how we deal with life in general. We are all different, so our exercise program should be based on our individuality. I start with my clients where they are now and work with them to become the best version of themselves. It was taking myself from ill to healthy, injured to strong and mobile that sparked my desire to help others. I did it myself and I can support others on their successful journey to better health.

NCSF Personal Trainer and Sports Nutrition Certified, CPR/AED/First-Aid Certified

Focus

Adults, Youth, Athletic and Strength Specified Training. Cardio, Functional training

Biography

My fitness journey began in my youth playing baseball, basketball and football. I’ve always believed that as long as I remained active I’d be able to perform at a high level in everything I did. I began strength training in my early 20’s and quickly fell in love with the gym and the routine of staying fit. After years of being self taught about weight training and cardio fitness I decided to fully emerge myself in my passion for health and wellness. This lead me to pursue my PT and Nutrition certifications. I have an overwhelming urge to help others achieve their own fitness goals and I find the joy in the journey is well worth the sweat, sacrifice and hard work.

Biography

Hello, my name is Evan! I am a student at SHSU in pursuit of a B.S. Kinesiology. While I am also a Personal Trainer, I am looking to get into the Physical Therapy field. I believe that Personal Training and Physical Therapy have a close relationship. One, mainly deals with rehabilitation and the other deals with improving function. My favorite sports are; boxing, football, track & field, and basketball. Though I enjoy many sports, boxing is number one for me. From high school and up to now, I’ve been exposed to strength, speed, and endurance sports. Coming from an athletic background, everyone starts from somewhere and the hardest step is always the first.
