SRAC Personal Training Department

Mission and Philosophy

The Personal Training Department here at Snoqualmie Ridge Athletic Club is dedicated to providing you with the best training services possible. Our mission is to educate and help motivate you to reach fitness goals and achieve your full potential. By following the three tier model provided in our F.I.T. program, we will take you through the basics of health and fitness to find out more about where you stand and what you would like to accomplish. Furthermore, we maintain a holistic approach in evaluating your fitness levels and lifestyle as we begin creating a personalized program to assist you in reaching your objectives. At the core of our philosophy lies the importance of building value with our members and being passionate about helping others learn to live a healthier lifestyle. We look forward to providing direction, motivation, and real results as you set out on your path to looking and feeling better!

SRAC F.I.T. Program

The Foundation
Building a solid foundation is the key to constructing a strong body and mind. Our Fitness Assessments help us establish a good start and provide an opportunity to know what our members need and what they would like to accomplish. The foundation is essential to building value and taking into account the whole person. Standard measurements are applied to gauge various levels of physical fitness and health.

Incorporation
We then incorporate the information provided in the first step by creating a personal fitness program specialized to fit your needs. The philosophy which drives this department and its services is characterized by the mind set of allowing our trainers to develop fitness programs that accentuate the trainer’s strengths, interests, and specialties. In this way, we can incorporate dynamic routines that assist you in structuring your vision and goals for fitness.

Working Together
Continued one-on-one training and commitment to you and our program will yield real results and provide an opportunity to not only achieve your goals, but also make changes to improve the overall quality of your life. We believe it is the experience of interacting with members on a consistent basis and educating you about health and fitness that determines both your success as well as ours.

Justin Gardner .::. Lead Trainer

I’m Justin Gardner, the Lead Trainer here at SRAC. Competitor is probably the best word to describe me. I started Personal Training and helping friends and family at the age of 17 and have been competing in Mixed Martial Arts for five years. I have worked at a couple of the larger gyms, finding them to be more focused on sales than health – this is the reason I love SRAC and the member-focused environment it provides. We have structured this department to really take into account your needs... it doesn’t matter what your goals are, I’m here to help you get there.

Dave Cole .::. Personal Trainer

Hello, my name is David Cole and I am a Personal Trainer at Snoqualmie Ridge Athletic Club. I have been in the fitness industry for eight years, working and managing at various clubs throughout my career. I became a personal trainer because of my love for fitness and my passion to help others achieve their goals. I am a nationally certified personal trainer by organizations including A.C.E. / A.F.A.A. / N.A.S.M. I also hold an APEX Certification; an in-house cert. that is required by such gyms as 24 Hour Fitness, Bally’s and Gold’s for their personal trainers. I also obtained nutritional c.e.c.’s through APEX and A.F.A.A. and am first aid and C.P.R. certified. All of this training and education has made me the knowledgeable trainer that I am today, but it has been the experience of my clients, past and present that has made me the personal trainer I am today. Best of luck to you in your fitness endeavors!
