Major: Nutrition and Foods (Dietetics)

Hi all, my name is Jordan! I'm a junior here at App State, and my major is nutrition and foods with a dietetics concentration! Learning to move your body in healthy ways is so integral to our wellbeing as humans, so being able to share how to do that with others is a dream come true. I've been a NASM certified personal trainer for a little over 2 years, and my mission is to help everyone interested in any fitness niche be safe, supported, and successful!

Major: Exercise Science

Hey there, my name is Jose and I am a Personal Trainer through ACE. When it comes to fitness I like to learn and incorporate all forms of exercise into my daily routine. Such as weightlifting, Olympic lifting, trail running, indoor cycling, HIIT cardio, rock climbing, and Pilates, just to name a few. My goal as a trainer is to show everyone that no matter the age or fitness level, they can always reach their desired goal.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this! My name is Kassidy Payne and I am a certified personal trainer through NASM. I found my passion for health and fitness after not being in the best health myself. Since then, I have not looked back; I know that your health will equal your wealth. I want to share the gift of health and wealth with others. I love being active in and out of the gym. Some of my favorite things to do are Weightlifting/ Powerlifting, Cycling, and Running. I look forward to training and helping you become the healthiest, wealthiest version of yourself!
