What Darren does
I am a personal fitness trainer. I train my clients at Define Fitness Studio in Bellevue, WA. All of us at Define Fitness Studio are certified and experienced. I've been in the fitness industry for close to 12 years. We help men and women of all ages and abilities to improve the way they look, feel, and perform. I assess what my clients' strengths and weaknesses are, and what type of programs they need to do to accomplish their fitness or body composition goals. In addition to workout programs, we can also help most clients with their nutrition plans as well. Define Fitness offers some of the most affordable training in the area. Clients pay $27.50 per session to train twice a week, $22.50 per session to train 3 times per week and $20 per session to train 4 times per week. We do small group training with 2 to 4 clients at a time. Clients only have to pay for one month of training at a time. There are no long term requirements. Most trainers at other facilities in the area charge $50-85 per session. I can be reached at 206-849-6420.
What Darren does best
I constantly challenge my clients within the range of their abilities. I am able to break something down to its most simple form for a inexperienced beginner, and able to give even the most experienced elite athlete a tough grueling workout. I help bring out the best in people by gently or sometimes not so gently dragging them outside of their comfort zone.
What does Darren need?
I need some good referral power partners such as chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, doctors, naturopaths, acupuncturists, dieticians, nutritionists, etc. My business partner and I are looking to do monthly seminars and speaking engagements on various topics such as back pain, cancer, diabetes, and other various health and fitness topics, which we would like to have other professionals to take part in with us. I would be open to meeting with any interested professionals to have coffee or lunch and discuss any synergistic and cooperative possibilities.
I am also in need of more certified trainers. Define Fitness is growing and wanting to expand. We need more high caliber trainers to come on board. Anybody that is interested should email their resume and set up a time to meet with me.
Education
I went to school at Mesa College in San Diego, CA. I completed their fitness specialist program in 2001. I also got my ACE(american council on exercise) national certification in 2001. I've gone through numerous continuing education courses, read countless exercise and nutrition books and magazine articles. I try to keep up to date on the latest information in the industry which seems to always be changing and evolving.
Experience
Before becoming a personal trainer, I started as a martial arts instructor. I had 10 years of martial arts training, and 7 years as an instructor. I've been a personal trainer since 2001. I worked for Bally Total Fitness for 3 years, and have been a private independant trainer the rest of the time. I have experience doing one on one training, small group training (2-5 people), and large group training(10-30 people). I have additional personal experience with training for wrestling, football, baseball, and track. I have worked with clients from age 13 to 80. I've worked with professional athletes, weekend warriors, the average joe, and people with serious injuries or medical conditions.
