Get to Know Ross
Hello! My name is Ross and I became a certified personal trainer 9 years ago. I first got into fitness for the profound effect that it has on my mental health, and I got my personal training certification to help others on their fitness journey. I started a run club at Coal Mine Ave Brewing 7 years ago and, since then, it has become a wonderful community. When I'm not working out I'm paddle boarding, playing dungeons and dragons, and watching obscure movies.
What made you become a personal trainer? When I first got into fitness I loved how it made me feel, and I want to help people discover that feeling. I believe everyone can enjoy fitness if they find out what style works for them.
​
What's your favorite exercise? Pull-ups. They are a great compound back exercise and you can do it anywhere that there is a bar!
What's your least favorite exercise? Any kind of Olympic lift simply because they are super technical I'm not good at them.
​
What is your favorite part about being a personal trainer? I love helping people discover what fitness activities they like to do and start them on their journeys to a healthier lifestyle. I like to work with absolute beginners because, as I said, I love to help people discover what there is to love about fitness.
​
What are your personal training specialties? Older adults, functional training (exercises that match daily movements) and running
​
What is a fun fact about you? I wrote and directed two award winning short films
