Tim Hall
Thank you for looking at my profile and here is a little information about my background. Along with being a trainer at Slinkfit, I have been an Instructor in the Physical Education Department at Johnson County Community College for over 25 years.
My background consists of a B.A. and M.S. degrees in Health and Physical Education from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, along with being a certified personal trainer through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and a certified weightlifting coach with USA Weightlifting. Over the years at JCCC I have been the strength coach for the athletic teams, director of the Lifetime Fitness Center and taught numerous classes. Along with this I have been involved with the Olympic sport of weightlifting for over 30 years. During my weightlifting years I had the opportunity to train at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and also coach many national champions and one Olympian.
My training philosophy is simple and basic; there are no secrets, magic pills or gimmicks to getting in shape. You have to train smart on a consistent basis. In my programs I believe in meeting your goals and needs by using different types of full-body movements with proper form and technique. Everyone will react to training differently, so workouts have to monitored and adjusted accordingly.
Once again I would like to thank you for looking at my profile and it would be my pleasure to help you with your fitness goals.
