  Education: Bachelor of Science in Food Science and Nutrition- California State University, Sacramento (Anticipated 2019)

  Certifications: NASM Certified Personal Trainer

  About Me: I have always had a heart for people and helping others achieve their goals. There isn’t anything quite like seeing someone persevere and achieve something that they have been working towards. I grew up playing sports and being an active person. After years of competition and fun with sports I went through a series of knee surgeries which ended up completely shifting how I approach fitness and physical wellness. I believe that you can achieve what you put your mind to and that with time and consistency you will reach your goals. Training for me is all about helping you get to where you want to be and being that motivator, positive voice and guide alongside of you as you put in the work and reach your goals. I am confident that training with me will assist you in learning new skills, developing a balanced and healthy lifestyle, and achieving your goals.

  Education: Bachelor of Art in English- Wayland Baptist University

  Certifications: NSCA Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, NSCA Certified Personal Trainer, FMS- Level 2

  About Me: I believe that fitness is holistic and not only composed of physical activity, but also includes nutritional balance, mental clarity, and spiritual and emotional wellness.  I don’t want people to just move and live; I want people to move and live with purpose.  I apply this to my training in the form of functional movement- being able to apply hard-earned strength to real-world situations.  I am also passionate about helping people in their weight-loss journeys.  

  My wife and I love international travel and spent five years in Southern Africa doing community development work before moving to the Sacramento area in 2013.  Football takes up way too much of my time in the fall and I also enjoy ballroom dancing and dogs. (If you bring in a service dog, I WILL ask to pet it.) 

  If you are unsure about where to start, set up a time to see me for a Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and start down your path to a healthy lifestyle.

  Education: Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, with an emphasis in Physical Activity, Conditioning, and Coaching- California State University, Sacramento 

  Certifications: AFAA Certified Personal Trainer

  About Me: I hope to inspire all my clients to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. All my life I have played sports, but it wasn’t until I came here to The WELL that I started my fitness journey. My passion for fitness started when I wanted to improve my endurance and strength for equestrian sports. I have been riding horses competitively for over 10 years and plan to compete at the professional level. Working out has made me a stronger person inside and out. With my knowledge in exercise programming at all levels of fitness, I can help you reach your goals.
  I like to take a total body approach to working out, with emphasis on a certain muscle group per session. Come train with me and learn proper technique, build upon your skills, and increase overall sports performance all while leading a better, healthier life!

  Education: Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, with an emphasis in Exercise Science: Clinical Exercise & Rehab Specialist- California State University, Sacramento 

  Master of Science in Kinesiology- California State University, Sacramento (In Progress)

  Certifications: NASM Certified Personal Trainer, USAW Level 1 Sports Performance Coach

  About Me: Physical wellness has the ability to transform the way a person experiences life. My philosophy is to have an environment that encourages people to learn and challenge themselves through exercise in order to be happier and healthier. With my knowledge and experience, I will help you develop skills inside the gym that will improve your experiences outside the gym. I started playing sports at the age of 5 and competed in water polo, lacrosse, and swimming throughout high school. In college, I found interest in recreation sports such as trail running, rock climbing, soccer, and olympic weightlifting. I have also overcome a major sport injury and use that experience to teach others about proper body mechanics and functional training. My experiences all over the map of sports and fitness led me to becoming a Certified Personal Trainer and Sports Performance Coach. My personal goals are accomplished by being a role-model to others because physical wellness should be a priority no matter what your individual goals or capabilities are. Your body is the only permanent home you will have. I enjoy coaching people of all different backgrounds and have worked with de-conditioned populations, senior adults, and everyone from novice to trained athletes. I am confident that I can develop a program that fits your individual learning style in order to help you reach your goals. No matter what your current fitness level is, everyone can benefit from working with a Fitness Professional. I have specialized knowledge to share and skills to teach you that can last a lifetime.

  Education: Bachelor of Science in Nursing- California State University, Sacramento (In Progress)

  Certifications: NASM Certified Personal Trainer

  About Me: I have a passion for helping others. I realized this when I went on my first of four mission trips to Tijuana, Mexico to build houses for impoverished people. I saw firsthand that with my time, talents, and treasures I am able to help others around me. I have always had a passion for helping others and for fitness. Growing up I played soccer for 14 years and being on a team helped me not only develop a sense of bettering oneself but also how capable we are of accomplishing things we didn't even know we could.

  Using my growing knowledge of the body and how it functions I am able to help push my clients to reach their fitness goals. Fitness to me is about more than just numbers, more than just input and output. It's about how you feel at the end of the day, if you gave it everything you had, if you are proud of your efforts. Training with me will help you to learn new tools, techniques and good habits to lead a healthier lifestyle.
