Richmond Personal Training
My name is Ike Pethtel. I am a Certified Personal Trainer, Post-Secondary Rehabilitation Specialist and Sports Nutrition Specialist with the nationally recognized International Fitness Professionals Association.
Personal training is my second career. I became a personal trainer at age fifty after a twenty year career in the communications industry.
Having experienced a significant health transformation myself and experiencing the positive impact it can have on one’s “quality of life,” I decided to pursue my passion for helping others improve their lifestyle. In fact, I am providing personal training, nutritional and wellness consultation services through the ACAC Fitness and Wellness Center in the Metro Richmond, Va. area.
I’ve been successful at doing this on a full-time basis for the past ten years.
Looking for the “Fountain of Youth”?
Aren’t we all?
Research has shown that a healthy lifestyle slows down the aging process and improves your quality of life. However, for a lot of people living this lifestyle is easier said than done.
There are a tremendous amount of people that need assistance as they begin their journey toward better health. For a lot of these people, going to a commercial fitness facility can be overwhelming and intimidating. But, these issues can be overcome by working with a personal trainer. And, the end result is a better, healthier you.
In addition, you can be more successful by working at a state-of-the-art gym. Contact me to learn more about proven fitness programs that will help you attain your wellness goals. All that is needed is the guidance and coaching to optimize your time and allow you to “work smarter, not harder.”
You provide the commitment, we provide the results.
