My Experience and Certifications
Thank you for coming by today to hear me brag about myself! 😂
After all, how else are you supposed to know that I'm an authority on how to change your body and life??
So here is a quick bullet list to lay it all out nicely for you:
1-on-1 Personal Training. I got my gold-standard personal training certification (NSCA CPT) in 2013. Built a full-time client base in less than a year and have been training people full-time ever since.
Cross Training. I got my gold-standard cross training certification (CF L1) in 2015. I choose this niche because I know that ALL humans need ALL the types of fitness training, not just 1 type. So in 2016 I started my legendary small group cross training / personal training program "Summit Strength". My Summit Strength people continues to improve to this day.
Group Exercise. From the moment I got my personal training cert I began conducting multiple type of fitness classes including yoga, kickboxing, bootcamps, and kid fitness. First at the YMCA in Avon, then my own class "MOVE" in 2014. I combined MOVE with Yoga to make a super-class I now call "MOGA". My MOGA people continues to improve to this day.
Parkour. I've truly been doing "parkour" my entire life, as far back as I can remember, but I made it part of my career in 2015 when I got my "APK L2" certification. Which made me high enough in the discipline to be a "teacher of teachers". I don't advertise this expertise of mine anymore, but I will add this skill to a clients program if I think they would find in fun or useful because parkour is certainly BOTH!
Military Fitness. I served in the Army National Guard for 7 years and during that time became the 2nd fittest in my unit of over 220 soldiers. I was put in charge of the fitness program for a time as well. So if you need to prepare for the military, police, fire, etc, I'm your guy. Plus I should brag and also tell you that I retired a decorated Sergeant and veteran. Having served in Afghanistan as a gunner of a gun truck with over 100 missions, 3 of which I saw combat.
ALL Fitness. I've been coached by many coaches with many different fitness types and expertise over the years, but here is the quick list: Soccer, volley ball, gymnastics, football, wrestling, track, parkour, Army, crossfit, jujitsu, yoga, dance, powerlifting, olympic lifting, body building, biking, and rock climbing. So in combination with my 3 functional fitness certifications I'm one of the most broadly qualified and experienced fitness professionals you'll ever meet. With the skills and knowledge to improve any athlete in any fitness style or discipline.
My Personal Fitness and Wellness. I "walk the walk". My flexibility, endurance, and strength are as high as you would ever hope them to be. My diet, sleep, mental health, and all that are as high as can be expected as well. And every year I improve.
In Summery. I'm the guy. Haha!!
