    Forrest Folen
    Forrest has a very unique training style that consists of dynamic full body workouts that focus on developing abdominal and core strength. For example, instead of doing traditional bench presses with his clients, he incorporates a stability ball and uses dumbbells to add the development of core strength and neuromuscular functioning. "Getting the core muscles to fire correctly adds functional stability to every motion you do in your day-to-day life." Forrest makes use of the machines in the facility, and at the same time expresses the importance of knowing how to use the most important machine, your body. "I like to incorporate fitness bands, free weights, balance boards, medicine balls, martial arts or boxing techniques, BOSU's, a step, plyometrics and anything else that will engage my client to become more proficient at using and strengthening their body. I put a lot of emphasis on control and being able to use breathing in unison with a movement, exercise or posture. I draw upon my background in martial arts and meditation to teach clients how to engage their bodies with a deeper level of awareness." Forrest also continuously educates himself and believes in empowering his clients with the knowledge and information to help them reach their goals. Forrest knows that the hardest part of retaining fitness as a lifestyle is to be able to be consistent and not give up. Because of this, Forrest strives to make each session a fun, challenging and memorable experience so his clients will value healthy living and be able to enjoy life to it's fullest.

    James Jensen
    My passion for fitness started at an early age. It has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have been involved in everything from motocross to modeling. These hobbies made it crucial for me to be in the best shape possible. I eventually took my passion further and attended the National Personal Training Institute located in Newport Beach, California.
    Adding this education with my 10 years of personal fitness experience has enabled me in helping others to obtain their fitness goals. With the right guidance and knowledge, my personal training expertise will help you lose weight, gain muscle, and feel better. So wherever you are in your fitness journey, take your health to even further heights than you thought possible-correctly and successfully!
