  Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

  Education: BS Kinesiology Exercise Science-Clinical Exercise and Rehabilitation Specialist (In Progress)

  Certifications: NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) Certified Personal Trainer, Level-1 CrossFit Certificate

  About Me: As a Kinesiology student aspiring to apply to a Doctor of Physical Therapy program, I have developed a love for movement as a form therapy. Within the past couple of years, I have noticed the positive impact exercise has played on my physical and mental health, motivating me to become a NASM certified personal trainer. My CrossFit Level-1 training provided me with an understanding of lift progressions and proper mechanics that serve as a foundation for functional movements. As a trainer, my focus is to help teach new movements that people may not feel ready to try on their own, while modifying for ones needs and safety. At the end of the day, my goal for any client, is to approach exercise with excitement and confidence.

  About Me:  My passion for exercise began during my sophomore year here at Sac State.

As a personal trainer, I strive to share my hard-earned knowledge and experience with my clients in hopes of helping them reach their goals and improving their quality of life. I sincerely believe that through efficient programming and intrinsic motivation, exercise can be medicine. One of the most important things my fitness journey has taught me, is that strength is irrelevant if determination is consistent.

  Pronouns: He, Him, His, They, Them

  Education: Associates in Kinesiology; Ohlone College. Currently studying at CSUS for a Bachelors in Kinesiology: Physical Activity & Wellness

  Certification:NASM Certified Personal Trainer; Red Cross CPR & AED Certified

  About Me: Fitness and exercise have been a part of my life from a young age. I started my athletic career as a gymnast, I played some soccer, AAU basketball through middle school and football through high school. The grind of the college athlete wasn’t for me, but I've stayed in the gym since then and all the knowledge and experience I have gained along the way has been beyond invaluable! Being able to show people the joy of health and wellness has been the most rewarding accomplishment of my life. To keep active, you will see me biking everywhere around campus; I practically live at the Well rock climbing, playing basketball or lifting weights; I am currently interested in Olympic lifting! I am also a nature lover and the tallest mountain I have climbed is Mt. Fuji. I believe there is a strong capable version of everyone inside themselves waiting to be challenged, everybody in the gym has their own path to their individual definition of success. Wherever you are on that journey, I would like to help you accomplish your goals!

  Pronouns: He, Him, His

  Education: B.S. Exercise Science

  Certifications: NASM Certified Personal Trainer

  About Me: Health and wellness have been a part of my life since I was a kid. I played water polo and swam at American River College for two years, and a variety of sports growing up. I chose to study Exercise Science at Sac State, and love using the knowledge that I have gained to help other people. With being exposed to a wide breadth of activities growing up, it has showed me that there is a lot more to exercise and movement. It should be fun and highly individualized. It is important to me to help people find their love for exercise in whatever way that looks. Throughout my life I have found that movement can truly be medicine for both the body and mind, and I want to share that with whoever I can. Let's get after it!
