Adam Kessler ,
CSCS
After receiving my bachelor's degree at
Indiana University
(1994), I decided I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I
had always been involved with athletics and really taken an interest with
health and fitness during my time at IU. So, In 1995 I received my
certification as a Personal Trainer with the American Council on Exercise.
My first training job was at Bally Total Fitness. During that time,
I also worked as a Strength Coordinator for
Ron Golden's Baseball School developing an off-season workout program
for baseball athlete's. I did this for several years. I also
worked as an independent trainer for a company called the Total Fitness
Institute, Inc. (yeah, I had a lot of part-time gigs).
In 1997, I got
certified as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) by
the Na tional
Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). This is one of the
best certifications that a personal trainer can acquire.
While at Bally Total Fitness, I founded and incorporated Fitness Planning
Consultants, Inc. in 1998. After four years, I finally left Bally's
and went full time with my new personal training business on January 1, 2000.
I wanted to start the new millennium off right. To help my strength
coaching experience with athletes, I accepted the Assistant Strength and
Conditioning Coach position at Columbus State Community College in September
2000. I didn't stay there long because I was offered a Head Strength and
Conditioning position at my old high school,
Columbus Academy,
in March 2001. This laid the groundwork for fine-tuning my training
methods for athletes. During my time at
Columbus Academy, my work with the teams helped produce the following
results:
- Three state championship teams (Field Hockey 2003, 2004 and Football 2003)
- One state runner up team (Baseball 2003)
- One individual state wrestling championship
- Working at a small school, 20+ athletes have gone on to compete
collegiately
- The strength program has produced 4-500 pound squatters, 13-400 pound
squatters, and 4-300 pound bench pressers. Which, once again, coming
from a small school this says a lot
- The speed at which their sports teams played was a direct result of the
hard work put in the strength program
Adam has taken this philosophy and applied it to the athletes that perform at
Fitness Planning Consultants, Inc.. Click here to
view the athletes that have trained here.
My research and experience with the Columbus Academy
teams helped to lay the foundation for the speed and strength program I
have created to train my current athletes with. After several years of doing personal training in
people's homes and renting space at local gyms, I finally, in June 2003,
opened up Sports Conditioning Specialists.
A private training studio that improves athletes' speed and strength,
while helping weight loss clients safely and permanently lose weight and
keep it off. In September of 2009, I closed Sports Conditioning
Specialists and consolidated my training business to the Dublin location.
We are now Fitness Planning Consultants, Inc. once again making a positive
change in people's lives. I received my last certification in February 2003 through
the
United States
Weightlifting as a Sport Performance Coach.
Our facility has helped many athletes accomplish a lot of their personal
goals. Whether they are looking to make a team, start for their
team, or really see a lot of success, we are there to help them out. The company that I created
has also helped many individuals accomplish their personal health and fitness
goals. I'm just as proud of them as I am our athletes. People who are/have obesity, arthritics, diabetics, general
health, osteoporosis, pregnant females, lower back pain, hypertension,
lowering cholesterol, people with MS, fibromyalgia, athletes looking to
get stronger and faster, weekend warriors, and all people inbetween.
We really do a great job here and value YOU most importantly.
Nothing pleases me more than seeing someone bring in old clothes that they
can't wear anymore because they are too big. Or reading about the athletes
we worked with in the off-season in the local paper. We are equally as
happy about your successes as you are.

I am also open for speakings. My last speaking opportunity was at the
2009 Central Ohio Strength and Conditioning Clinic, but I have also spoken at
2008 Ohio NSCA State Strength and Conditioning Clinic, OhioHealth, the Gahanna Chamber of Commerce, and the Gahanna Rotary Club.
Bryan Morosky
Bryan was a former athlete of Adam's when Adam was the
strength coach at Columbus Academy. He was one of the fastest
athletes Adam has ever worked with. He graduated in 2004 from
Academy and went on to play Division 1 baseball at the College of William
and Mary. He recently completed an internship
with Adam coming back to Columbus to get his degree in Exercise Science at
Capital University. Bryan has filled his need
for athletic competition by becoming a triathlete. He currently is
part of amateur Team USA in the triathlon field. In 3 years, he has
quickly risen among the ranks. Here are a few notes on Bryan's past
athletic accomplishments:
- A running back on the Columbus Academy state
championship football team in 2003. Bryan was named first team
All-State in Division V that year. He is the football player that
we use in our header above, number 42.
- He was a starting pitcher and infielder for the
Columbus Academy baseball team that was state runner-up in 2003.
- In the past 3 years, Bryan has competed in 18
triathlons, winning his age group in 6 of them. He also got 2nd or
3rd for his age group in 6 more.
- He placed fourth in his age group at the 2011 USA
Triathlon Sprint National Championships. Because of this placing,
he will be representing amateur Team USA in New Zealand for the Sprint
World Championships in 2012.
Bryan has really picked up our speed system here in
Fitness Planning Consultants and will be a great asset as we move forward with
our business. He will be the lead trainer in our new Strength Training
Class for Endurance Athletes that you
