Luis Alvidrez

Personal Trainer

Philosophy
My philosophy in life is simple, "Changing Lives, one step at a time." I love being a personal trainer because I get to do just that. Every day I get to wake up and motivate, inspire, coach, heal, and improve someone's quality of life. What more can a person ask for? Being a personal trainer is not just a job to me, it's my purpose in life.

I believe that anybody can achieve whatever they put their mind and heart into. When you set your mind and heart into something, anything can happen. The sky's the limit. I believe that exercise should be a part of everyone's life. Exercise can bring a new sense of life and happiness. It is my goal to bring that new sense of life and happiness through exercise in all my clients.

Client Base
I specialize in corrective exercise, lifestyle management, and sports injury prevention. I work a lot with people that are experiencing joint or muscular pain, individuals with specific physiological goals (i.e. reduction of body fat, increased muscle size and definition), and recreational athletes that want to stay healthy and pain free.

Jami Brokaw

Personal Trainer & Massage Therapist

Philosophy
My purpose in life as I see it is to create happiness within each person I meet. As a personal trainer I feel I am able to help facilitate this through teaching my clients the importance of exercise and healthy lifestyles. I know what it feels like to be trapped in a body that you are unhappy with, and often wonder how you got there. Through my own struggles with weight loss I know what you might be feeling. I understand how hard it is to want to get up and do something for yourself other than eat!

I know if you are guided properly and given the tools for success you can create the healthy life you are looking for! I will teach you how to overcome your struggles and gain the confidence to be who you know you are.

I never thought that I would be someone with a weight problem. I was always a very active kid and did sports all my life, therefore I never really paid attention to what I ate and never really restricted my food intake at all. I also never had a problem with my heigh fluctuating, so I continued to eat what I wanted when I wanted well into my 20's.

My first child was born when I was 24 and I had gained a whopping 60 pounds from that pregnancy. I managed to lose about 20 pounds before my second pregnancy two years later. After my second pregnancy, my scale tipped just south of 200lbs and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't seem to get my weight to reduce.

It took a whole team of people behind me to really turn things around. The team at UMPT kept me accountable on a weekly basis and that in turn helped me stick to my fitness and nutrition regimen. Together as a team we reassessed my goals often and always kept readjusting my workouts and diet to never lose sight of what I had set out to accomplish.

The trainers and coaches at UMPT were my cheerleaders throughout this process and offered me a lot of support and encouragement. Ultimately, I am the one who did the work, but they made it so much easier to stick to the plan


Bridget Wilding

Personal Trainer

Philosophy
People always ask me what I want to do before I die and the first thing I think of, is change someone's life. Exercise is such an important part of living and is sometimes overshadowed by the other priorities in daily life. I want to help people reach their goals, achieve their dreams and change lives. As a person who has always been extremely active, I find it crucial to take good care of oneself. As a personal trainer, it is my job to take people on a fitness journey, this journey isn't meant to last a couple of months or half a year, I want to show people how to adapt to a fitness lifestyle and start incorporating healthy habits into their lives.

Transition is my magic word, I want you to see results and that is my biggest goal. All I ask is for a little dedication, a lot of heart and lots of sweat! Let's get to it!

I believe that exercise and physical activity can be an enjoyable and healthy part of everyone's lives. My daily goal is to help my clients find that enjoyment in exercise that is safe and effective. In our busy lives the challenge of finding time for exercise is often what stands in the way of us achieving our lifestyle, weight management, and performance goals.

Sean Plake

Personal Trainer

Philosophy
I take great pride in doing everything that I can to help others with whatever it may be that they are trying to accomplish in their lives. Being a personal trainer allows me to share the things that I have learned and experienced, with others to help them truly understand fitness, nutrition, and most importantly, their body's needs. Not knowing how to exercise and eat right should not be an excuse. I won't let it be.

I believe that anyone is capable of accomplishing anything with the right mindset, passion, and support system. I will be there to educate, motivate, inspire and coach you up to become a better you! A YOU that you and your FAMILY will be much happier being around with increased energy, focus, stamina and entire outlook on life!

So whether you're trying to lose inches off the waist, shed lbs. off the scale, increase muscle size/power or just wanting to feel better, I can help! If you are currently completing in a sport looking to increase your speed, quickness and agility I'm your guy!
