My background started in basketball where I got the
opportunity to work with and learn from some of the
best strength and conditioning coaches in the
business. After spending three years playing
basketball abroad and not having the benefit of a
trainer or coach to guide me through workouts, I
decided to learn as much as I could about strength
and conditioning at eventually became a Certified
Personal Trainer (CPT). I specialize in
interval, circuit, sport specific and core training.

 Garrett
Wade
I developed a love for sport and fitness at an early
age. I am an athlete who enjoys many sports
(basketball, volleyball, football), an outdoor
enthusiast (hiking, backpacking). My lifelong
dedication to fitness drove me to become a certified
personal trainer and one of my goals is to share
this love of exercise and fitness with my clients.
Because I enjoy working with diverse kinds of people
and love teaching, coaching and helping others
achieve physical fitness, I studied to become a
certified personal trainer. I earned my
certification from the American Council on Exercise
(ACE) in 2004. Since then, I have been training
males and females of all ages, both within the
health club environment and outside, training
private, in-home clients. I specialize in weight
management with the use of resistance training but
also have a passion for plyometrics and
bodybuilding.

 Marissa
Sanders
Marisa’s love of weight training began in college
while she was studying fashion design. After gaining
more than 25 pounds during her first year due to
poor eating habits and lack of exercise, Marisa was
introduced to weight training by her brother. In
2004, Marisa decided that fashion design no longer
met her needs, as she was more interested in fitness
and body design. She discovered she had a gift and a
passion for helping others attain fitness goals and
decided to become a certified fitness trainer.
Marisa specializes in teaching people how to
successfully build muscle and lose weight without
injuring themselves. Safety is number one! Each one
of her clients is treated as an individual and they
work together to personalize a fitness program that
best suits their specific needs. Her dream is to one
day touch the hearts of Americans every where,
helping each and everyone she comes in contact with
to understand the power of health and its extreme
impact on the quality of life.
