Personal Trainer

Jamie Moller Certifications: NSCA-CPT

The best part about my job is helping people take positive steps in their lives. This could mean helping someone achieve a goal of running a race or making it possible to do everyday activities without pain.

My favorite thing to do outside of work is hang with my family and go to Hackley Island.

I recharge by hanging out with my niece and nephew, Morgan Lee and Jacob.

My favorite sport to watch is football.

My favorite sport to play is golf.

My favorite sports hero is Walter Payton, “Sweetness.”

My role models are my dad and my mom, the two best people I know.

My favorite form of exercise is weightlifting.

My favorite group fitness class is yoga.

Early bird or night owl? Definitely an early bird.

I decided to help athletes move to the next level because I myself have been an athlete my whole life. I have found that with the proper supervision and guidance you can reach a whole different level of skill and performance.

One training/conditioning mistake a lot of athletes make is overtraining. Athletes are consumed by enhancing their performance. Sometimes this desire clouds their vision of what is healthy. Strength and conditioning coaches are very knowledgeable and aware of the signs and symptoms overtraining. With this expertise on your side you can avoid such problems in your training.

Before I begin training an athlete, it’s important to evaluate their fitness level.

I most enjoy working with athletes that are interested in gaining power and strength.

The athletes I’ve been most pleasured to work with are those in special populations. During college I had the privilege of taking a adaptive physical education class. These students had conditions ranging from autism to spinal disorders. This class was the most rewarding class that I have taken to this day.

I most enjoy watching athletes start to believe in the potential that as a coach you know they possess.

My least favorite training exercise is weighted lunges.

Strength or cardio? Being a power lifter in the past I have to go with strength. Being a personal trainer now, I see the importance of using both strength training and cardiovascular training to reach your full potential.
