My name is Spenser Stokes, and I have been working as a Health and Fitness Coach for close to 6 years now, and I have been a dedicated fitness enthusiast for well over a decade. In that time I have dabbled in nearly every circle of the fitness community ranging from: Barbell training, free weights, calisthenics, sport performance. You name it, I have probably tried it, however my passion and speciality lies withing the Body-weight fitness realm. It is the backbone of my training philosophy.
When the lock-down first started back in March of 2020 I, like many others, was pushed out of my comfort zone, and was challenged to adapt my style. During that time I fell back onto my roots in body-weight fitness with a shift in mentality to focus more on how to take care of the body for the sake of longevity both in the gym, and in the real world. Since then I have been moving pain and injury free. In addition to dedicated resistance training I have developed a movement system based around ‘natural-movement’ to help strengthen and support our mobility, joint health, and core strength.
I am very passionate about biomechanics, posture re-balancing, and driving adaption in the human body. I pride myself on being able to meet my clients at their current fitness level (wherever on the spectrum that may be) and build from there. My personal goal for every session I have it is: To have my clients leave my session moving and feeling better than when they first walked into the session.
