Welcome, RJ, Austin’s Newest Personal Trainer

RJ recently made the down to Austin, TX, to get our personal training gym off the ground. If you haven’t met him, RJ is one of the original Motive Training personal trainers from Grand Rapids, MI. He’s actually from a small town in Michigan called Tecumseh, but he lived in Grand Rapids, MI, for most of his adult life.

RJ has a solid foundation in strength training and a deep passion for helping others. He made it his life’s work to ensure that each client leaves his sessions feeling stronger, more powerful, and grounded.

Here’s a little bit more about the guy we hold near and dear to our hearts.

The Early Years: Discovering the Power of Exercise

RJ’s love for fitness began in high school when he took up resistance training to prepare for football. It didn’t take long for him to realize the impact exercise had on his life; he felt stronger, more powerful, and grounded. This initial experience with exercise laid the foundation for his future career; it’s also what fueled his desire to help others discover the benefits of exercise.

Academic Pursuits: Achieving a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science

Armed with a newfound passion for fitness, RJ went on to complete his bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from GVSU. His academic journey gave him valuable insights into the human body and exercise physiology. In addition, RJ’s commitment to his studies demonstrated his dedication to becoming a knowledgeable and skilled personal trainer.

But he didn’t stop there. RJ went on to become certified through multiple Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) courses. He’s a movement and injury specialist, and can work with clients of all ages and body types.
