Justin Gardner – MMA Coach and Personal Trainer

Personal Trainer in Gilbert – Hi, I’m a passionate personal trainer based in Gilbert, Arizona. Originally hailing from the desert of Central Washington, I made the move to Arizona in July 2022 to pursue my career in sports and fitness. With a lifelong dedication to health and wellness, I have always been involved in various athletic activities and continue to prioritize them in my life.

My journey as a personal trainer began at the age of 17 when I started training fellow students, family members, and friends free of charge. This early experience sparked my interest in helping others achieve their fitness goals. To further enhance my skills and knowledge, I enrolled in the “Fitness Specialist” program at Lake Washington Institute of Technology.

Over the years, I have gained extensive experience working in multiple gyms and even ventured to own and operate my own gym and personal training studio. While I don’t have a specific specialty, I pride myself on being able to work with anyone. I have particularly excelled in working with clients undergoing rehabilitation, aiding them in overcoming joint issues, recovering from heart attacks, and preventing surgery. I find great satisfaction in proving doctors and physical therapists wrong by helping my clients surpass their expectations.

In addition to rehab clients, I thoroughly enjoy working with athletes of all ages. Having grown up playing basketball, baseball, tennis, and wrestling, I have a deep understanding of the physical demands athletes face. Since 2003, I have actively competed in Mixed Martial Arts, specializing in boxing, kickboxing, and earning a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (no-gi).

If you’re seeking significant improvements in both your physical and mental health, I am here to help. All I ask is that you take the first step and schedule an appointment with me. Together, we can create a personalized fitness plan that suits your needs and pushes you towards achieving your goals. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together.

      [vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading source="post_title" font_container="tag:h2|font_size:18|text_align:center" use_theme_fonts="yes"][vc_column_text]Personal Trainer - Hi, I’m Mariana! You can also call me Mari. I am a certified personal trainer, certified nutrition specialist and certified behavioral change specialist with a degree in health science. I’ve been working with clients online and in person now for 6 years.Growing up mental health has always played a huge role in my life and I have always felt passionate about helping other people. I want to share a bit of my own personal story with you so you can maybe relate, get an understanding of who I am, where I've been, and where I want to go. I’ve spent the past 6 years in the fitness industry, but I have spent my life battling my own mind due to clinical depression, anxiety and eating disorders. I’ve been in my own recovery for 8 years years which is marked by the day I hit my “rock bottom” but decided my story wasn't over. Instead of ending my story, I decided to continue. Was it an easy decision? No. It was the toughest struggle I've ever gone through and I still fight everyday. But that's just it, I'm still fighting which means I'm still here and each day I fight, it gets just a little bit easier. And I think most of us can also relate that to fitness. Getting started can be scary. But each day gets a little easier.I channeled all of my energy into fitness, proper nutrition and doing small daily tasks repeatedly over and over to ensure my life and my goals would continue to progress. And then I did the same with thing with other people. I aspired to inspire others to do the same and then I taught them how to do it. Yes, some days are hard, it's inevitable. I've learned through the years that recovery, or life, in any way is not a linear process. Some days you'll find yourself asking if your goals are even worth it. Life will test you. Your goals will test you. But your life and your goals are 100% worth it. It's during these times that we need to get back up and try again. The only difference between someone who progresses and someone who doesn't is whether or not that person gives up and stops trying. It’s not a race. It’s not easy. But I will teach you how to build the lifestyle you’ve always dreamt of having and it could turn out to be one of the greatest triumphs of your life.I am accepting both online AND in person clients who are ready to get strong both physically and mentally. I specialize in functional strength training and training dynamically. I custom design each program specifically based on your goals and what you are hoping to achieve.If you even had a spark of interest please reach out to me for a free in person or online consultation. I would love to meet, answer any questions you may have, and get working to see those results![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
