FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I went back to college so that I could get certified as a fencing master at the San Jose State Fencing Masters program. They required at a minimun a B.S. I chose Kinesiology (Nutrition and Wellness) and achieved the title Master at Arms certification. So now, in addition to teachiing fencing a natural extension was to get into fitness. I worked as a trainer for 24 hour fitness and also Crunch. After my second deployment to afghanistan (oh, i had to join the navy for college funds), I decided to start my own fitness company.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Make sure if you are working qualified trainer. They should have a degree in an exercise related field and national personal training certificates such as NASM, NESTA and ACSM.
