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 NaCscs99.gif (15729 bytes)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.

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.

The company that I created has helped many individuals accomplish their personal health and fitness goals.  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 have been a contributing writer for http://thedietchannel.com and an Expert author at http://ezinearticles.com.

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.

Erin Isler

Erin is a 2008 graduate from Indiana University, with a BS in Exercise Science.  She is currently a doctoral student in the Physical Therapy program at the Ohio State University.

Erin played field hockey at Thomas Worthington High School and continued her athletic career at Indiana University.  She earned Academic All-Big Ten honors in 2005, 2006, and 2007.  While playing field hockey, she participated in several speed development programs herself to improve her speed on the playing field.  She was also an assistant field hockey coach for the 2008 Thomas Worthington Field Hockey team this past fall.

Her education and athletic experience will be valuable to both athletes and wellness individuals alike.  Her knowledge of the exercises and what you need to do to achieve your goals will come in handy for our clients. Until she agrees to pose for a new picture, we will be using her collegiate picture from the IU website.

Trey Lehman

Trey  attended high school locally at Columbus DeSales.  He then went on to play soccer at Muskingum College graduating with a degree in Health and Physical Education with a minor in Sports Medicine.

Having been out of the health and fitness world for awhile, Trey wants to get back into with a renewed enthusiasm and dedication.  His only hands-on experience has been as a Club Level Soccer coach for high schoolers.

Trey had a wonderful athletic experience and wants to be able to give back to athletes who desire the same.  He is currently studying to take the CSCS exam.
