Ed has been a certified personal trainer and small group instructor for more than 20 years. Following a serious injury in 2001, Ed enrolled in the University of Alaska-Anchorage’s PT Certification program to learn the proper mechanics of strength training, but didn’t consider making it a living until he was hired to teach strength training courses at the University after completing the program. He has been a personal trainer, university instructor, small group instructor, corporate wellness specialist, and personal training manager in Alaska, Scotland and Washington.

Ed didn’t begin his fitness journey until he was in his 30s, so his philosophy is “It’s never too late to start.” Ed’s certifications include American Council on Exercise Personal Trainer; UAA Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor; and multiple specialist certifications including Fitness Nutrition Specialist, Functional Training Specialist, Weight Management Specialist, and multiple golf specialist certifications.
