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
Training Locations: Vitality West and South
