ACE Certified Personal Trainer; August 2006

Hello, I'm Jordan Becker. I've been training with PHYSIQUE here at the SERF for coming up on two years. I really enjoy training and helping people reach their fitness goals. Specializing in circuit training, medicine ball work, and theraband exercise I try to keep workouts exciting and effective. I am a kinesiology major concentrating in exercise and movement science. This certainly helps me keep a multitude of knowledge at my grasp to help you get and stay fit. I am also a premed student and the interaction with different clients from different backgrounds keeps me on my toes and I think it s a wonderful precursor to my potential career in the medical field. Think you would like train with me?

ACE Certified Personal Trainer; August 2006
CPR Certified
Major: Kinesiology-Athletic Training
The reason I became a personal trainer was that I enjoy working out on a daily basis. Becoming a personal trainer will help me become more knowledgeable on proper ways to train. Since I am majoring in athletic training I feel that this profession will correlate with my studies here at UW-Madison.
I was a swimming instructor for a year, played soccer all four years of high school, and I enjoy running, bike, and swimming.
I hope that I am either in personal training or athletic training after college. I hope one day I am experienced enough to work for a pro sport team.
Analisa Hernandez
Major: Rehabilitation Psychology
Training since August 2007
I became a personal trainer because I have always enjoyed working out and learning about fitness and health. I also have a passion for helping people, especially if I can provide them with a service and assist them in achieving their goals. As a female, I especially enjoy teaching other women proper techniques for strength training, getting rid of the myth that women who lift weights will just "bulk up". I also know how important it is to learn proper technique when working out; I love to teach people so they will be able to leave equipped with the knowledge and confidence to enter any gym and successfully complete a work out.

Nick Schmidt
ACE certified personal trainer; certified March 2008
CPR certified
Major: Kinesiology - Exercise and movement science; Psychology
I became a personal trainer because I myself enjoy living a fit lifestyle and relish the chance to teach and learn with others who want to do the same. Personal training will give me a great opportunity to learn more about fitness thus correlating with my major at UW while also allowing me to meet and work with great people.
I just recently became certified to train but I work out and have a vast knowledge of exercises because I like to experiment with different exercises in my own programs.
After my undergrad I plan to go to physical therapy school during which I still hope to be personal training.

So to sum myself up, I am a fitness nut who likes to help others and make them smile.
 Ashley Simon
ACE Certified Personal Trainer; August 2006
CPR Certified
Certified Group Fitness/Spin Instructor
Major: Kinesiology and Business Management
The reason I became a trainer was that health and fitness is a real passion for me from my own personal experiences and accomplishments. I want to help people learn the benefits of taking care of themselves and developing a healthy lifestyle.
My specialty and area of interest is strength training especially for women. I am also interested in circuit training and flexibility.
I have run numerous 5K marathons and completed a 100 mile bike ride two years ago. One of my goals is to complete a full marathon and triathlon by the time I am finished with school. I am also a certified group fitness instructor and taught my first cycling class this summer which was a lot of fun.
I want to continue with my undergrad into either physical therapy or chiropractic work, where I would combine my skills for rehabilitation and then further take a client from their rehabilitation stages into performance stages. Instead of just taking a patient and helping them walk or use their arms again, I would like to be able to help them achieve goals of running marathons or gaining strength after their injuries or accidents.
