Fitness Philosophy: My main priority as a personal trainer is to assist my clients in attaining their fitness goals. I design and implement exercise programs specifically focused on the needs of my clients. I am a true believer that the more you put into something the more you will get out of it, and that philosophy definitely holds true for fitness.

It’s about working hard and having fun!

Sarah

Major/Minor: Exercise Science and Fitness/Human Resource Management

Fitness Philosophy: To be an effective fitness professional, it is important to not only teach and encourage clients, but also to create new, progressive and individualized fitness programs. I love when people push-themselves beyond what they believed they had the ability to do.

Personal Interests: Beyond learning about new aspects of fitness, I love traveling with my family. I also look forward to being out on the water in the summer, riding motorcycles and spending time with my friends.

Steve

Major: Exercise Science

Fitness Philosophy: My style of training focuses on compound lifts rather than isolation lifts. Not only do they work multiple muscles at the same time, they will help you achieve your goals (speed, strength, endurance, etc.) much faster than isolation movements. Working out with effort and intensity is also a key component to my style of training, so don’t be afraid to work hard when you go to the gym!

Personal Interests: In my free time, I enjoy weight training, watching movies, cars, and power lifting.
