Jameson Sterling is an ACE certified personal trainer and a practicing registered nurse with a background in Emergency and Trauma nursing. His passion for health and wellness began at a young age while battling several orthopedic injuries. His time in healthcare gave him an appreciation for traditional medicine but made him realize healthy habits and lifestyles are the most efficient cure for many common chronic healthcare aliments. “I want to take people from all walks of life and help them begin their fitness journey. I truly believe many people want to begin their exercise journey and just don’t know how to get started. Regardless of the preparation, it’s intimidating to walk into an unfamiliar environment and begin that experience. As a trainer, I view it as my goal to take any individual with that desire and break down that barrier. To share my knowledge to not only teach the what and the how, but the why behind every movement so no matter where their journey takes them next, they have the foundation, the knowledge, and the drive to keep their journey moving forward.”
