Training Philosophy: I believe with a great cardiovascular and strength training workout along with a heart healthy diet and a positive attitude, weight loss and a healthy lifestyle can be achieved.

 | Nickie Major: Exercise Science
Certifications: ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, CPR/First Aid
Training Philosophy: Work hard and never give up. The word "can't" isn't in my dictionary, so please don't say it!
Personal Interests: I live out in the country and I love to farm. My family raises beef cattle and we have a goat named Mamma Tilly! My favorite season is the fall because it's harvest time and I also love when the leaves change color. |
 | Sam Major: Exercise Science
Certifications: AFAA certified Personal Fitness Trainer, CPR/First Aid
Training Philosophy: I want my workouts to be fun and inspiring for my clients, not something they should dread. I believe there is no "one size fits all" for exercise and each person needs a routine that is tailored to his or her goals. If you dedicate yourself and stay positive, a healthy lifestyle follows.
Personal Interests: I spend leisure time watching or playing sports. I follow the Kentucky Wildcats and Detroit Red Wings and golf and play pick-up basketball. I have a strong interest in Olympic style weightlifting. |

Certifications: ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, American Red Cross CPR/First Aid certified
Training Philosophy: Achieving your goals is all about motivation and determination. It starts with the right mindset, then with proper training and diet, anyone can successfully achieve their goals. "Exercise is king, nutrition is the queen. Put them together and you have a kingdom." - Jack LaLanne
Personal Interests: If I am not training someone, then I'm usually training myself, cooking/eating a meal or just hanging out with my family and my dog. |
 | Anne Major: Dietetics
Certifications: AFAA Personal Training, AFAA Group Exercise, Red Cross First Aid, AED, CPR Training

Training Philosophy: Leave your excuses at the door. The goals you set become virtually impossible when you go into training with excuses on why you can't fulfill them.
