Staff & Personal Trainers
Because you should expect more from a gym, the Center for Health and Fitness (CHF) holds itself to a higher standard. CHF takes a medically based approach to health and well-being and its employees are a reflection of that. CHF has more than 60 full- and part-time staff and instructors whose goal is to help you meet your fitness goals.
All CHF trainers hold college degrees in health-related disciplines, with certifications from the American College of Sports Medicine, National Academy of Sports Medicine and National Strength and Conditioning Association. CHF also offers Medical Exercise Specialists—the only fitness center in the beach cities to do so—who are trained and educated to work with member’s doctors or physical therapists to ensure the highest quality, effective exercise program.
