Bob Pavlock
Personal Trainer
​
Bob is a retired former manager and project manager in the healthcare information technology sector. He is an avid distance runner who ran his first full marathon at the age of 60. He has finished 7 marathons and completed a number of half marathons, 10K, and 5K runs. Fitness and proper nutrition has always been a top priority in his daily life routine. Bob knows that there is not a one size fits all fitness routine that achieves all fitness goals. He is adaptable and willing to try different variations.
Distance running has taught him a number of life lessons which he applies to his everyday fitness routines:
-
Dream Big and Set Goals: set your sights high, celebrate your small victories
-
People make all the difference: everyone needs support and it helps
-
Pain is temporary, regret is forever: never leave a situation knowing there was more you could do
-
It is a journey, not a race: pace yourself, it cannot be full speed ahead at all times
-
Finish strong: you don’t have to finish first, but push yourself to be your best, right up to the end
If you are interested in getting started, all you have to do is take that first step on the journey to your new and healthier life. Consider signing up for a free fitness assessment today.
Yasmine Cooper
Personal Trainer
​
As a lifelong athlete who used to HATE exercising… I get it!
Whether you’re a seasoned athlete, a weekend warrior, or just beginning your fitness and/or weight
loss journey working with a fitness professional is the best decision you can make for your health.
- ISSA and ACTION certified personal trainer
- Martial artist - Brazilian jiu jitsu purple belt (6+ years training with 2 years teaching kids’
classes, private lessons with self-defense focus & cardio kickboxing)
I started off afraid of pushing myself, afraid of pain and afraid of failure. But at the start of my
journey, I learned a transformative lesson: the only person I can “compare myself to” or “compete
against” is myself. I decided to fight every day to become better than yesterday’s Yasmine.
Sports and movement became my passion, my stress relief, my daily mindfulness practice – soccer,
track, cross country, karate, dance, ultimate frisbee, strength training, yoga, rock climbing, muay thai
& jiu jitsu.
With 20+ years of working out I have had my share of injuries – I’ve learned to be kind to myself &
prioritize rest, healing and nutrition, while still continuing to work out through modified movements
when possible. I encourage open communication around injuries or limitations, this allows us to
modify movements accordingly and keep clients’ bodies safe and pain free.
My goal as a trainer is to teach proper form and technique to allow you to perform safely in gym and
in daily life activities, which will propel you towards your goals. With my clients I focus on mobility,
balance, strength training, and various forms of cardiovascular training. Sign up for a class today and
take your next step towards a healthier you!
