Legitimate Fitness Professionals

We back up what we do with legitimate knowledge and experience in our field.  Many people are unaware that there is no state or federal licensure for personal trainers and coaches.  Our professional background includes college degrees, substantial certifications, and professional experience across a broad spectrum of clients and sports.  It is also important to understand that not all certifications carry the same merit.  There are fitness certifications that require nothing more than $300.00 and a few hours of your time.  Our certifications require a minimum of a college degree specializing in health and fitness and the skills to legitimize that text book knowledge.  Some of our qualifications include:
  • Master's & Bachelor's Degrees in Exercise and Sport Science
  • Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists from the NSCA with Distinction (CSCS *D)
  • Certified Health Fitness Instructors from the ACSM (ACSM HFI)
  • Certified Level 2 Track Coaches from USA Track & Field
  • Certified USA Track & Field Instructors
  • Certified in CPR through the American Heart Association
  • Covered with Liability Insurance for Your Protection
  • More Than 20 Years Working, Competing, & Teaching in Fitness & Sport
