Hi my name is Kelly Block. I earned a degree in Exercise Science from Slippery Rock University in 2002. I have spent every moment since then learning and growing with and in the fitness industry. I hold over 20+ certifications in many different personal training and group fitness formats.
My overall claim to fame is that I focus on alignment and posture (Certified Posture and Alignment Specialist) because I believe, and have experienced the best results, when we learn how to move our bodies with proper form and awareness of how the entire body works as a unit. I train for functional strength and mobility so everyone can move and feel better to get the most out of an active life at any age. I am experienced with training youth, athletes, special populations, post rehabilitation, active older adults, and our beautiful middle aged women. In my personal life, I have two amazing boys and love anything outside including paddleboarding, hiking, biking, and running! I believe that everyone has the opportunity to live their best life through proper exercise and wellness practices. Let’s connect and find out how I can help you achieve that!
Building lean muscle mass requires constantly confusing your muscles with new types of movements, tempos, weight loads and modalities. Each month, my clients are introduced to a different phase of training that will ensure no part of the muscle is ever ignored. Not only will this challenge your muscles, it will challenge your mind and create changes you can both see and feel.
Kelly’s approach to weight loss is based around three simple strategies. First, you will build a foundation that will allow you to train with the intensity needed to burn your maximum calories. Second, you’ll come to discover the science behind why diet is the most important element of any weight loss journey. You’ll walk away with the knowledge required to make the best nutritional choices for your body. Third, you will get into the habit of success by working with Kelly to set small achievable goals. These milestones will act as a constant source of inspiration and motivation.
For those with a specific focus on building optimal strength, whether for sport or personal progress, Kelly focuses on three different phases:
•Strength endurance
•Hypertrophy
•Optimal strength
Prepare to be challenged and come away with a new understanding of the science behind how your muscles function
