ELLIOT - Eliot has been a health and fitness specialist since 2000. At the age of 16, he was overweight and decided to make a change in his life. He became fascinated with fitness and designed his own exercise program. In less than a year, he lost 80 pounds and increased his lean muscle mass. After losing the weight, Eliot decided to become a health & fitness specialist and make a positive impact in other people's lives. He worked as an independent contractor at a South Florida health club for three years. He decided to leave the "gym scene" to focus more on his growing private personal training clientele. He believes in providing exercise consulting during and after one-on-one sessions. Clients can expect to wake up the next day feeling well-trained, not overworked.
JOHN - My name is John! As an avid high school and college athlete where I ran track and played football at Rowan University, I have always carried pride and hard work to help reach my goals. Passionate about everything I do, I believe that a healthy and active lifestyle is the best way to acquire pure happiness in life, and that happiness is an essential component to life. When it comes to fitness, I am a strong believer in "mind over matter" and strive to incorporate not just the physical aspect to fitness, but also the mental. Having a strong core, as well as correct posture and technique throughout exercises is fundamental to achieve your goals whether you're trying to lose weight, tone up, or gain strength.

JODI - I am a professional fitness competitor and model. I grew up in a small Midwestern community and attended college at South Dakota State University.

While in college I was a cheerleader for women's basketball and men's football and started competing in fitness competitions at this time. To date I have competed in 42 fitness, figure, bikini and sports model competitions worldwide and hold 36 1st place titles. I have appeared on the cover of Fitness X magazine (December 2011) and the cover of Natural Bodies (Spring 2011). I am also a contributing writer for Fitness X magazine, Haute Living Magazine and Quest protein bars. I am a firm believer that fitness is a lifestyle and not a temporary life alter.

SUZANNE - live in Monmouth County, New Jersey. My educational background includes a Masters in Communications from Seton Hall University and a MBA from Monmouth University. Fitness and healthy living has always been my first love and passion. I began my fitness career 27 years ago, teaching aerobics and spinning for Bally’s Gyms. I have been a personal trainer for over 7 years and most recently, I have become a certified health coach.
When I am not busy with teaching, writing, or the kids, I love to workout. I also enjoy running and designing healthy eating workshops for my clients. My favorite workshop to teach is “sugar blues.” I am married to a wonderful husband that I met working in sports television at the National Basketball Association, over 11 years ago. We have 9 year old twins. We live near the beach so we are quite the beach bum family.
I hope I can teach you to enjoy the passion of healthy and clean eating while learning to move the body!

ROD - As a former Sergeant in the US Marine Corp, Rod was responsible for the training of more than 500 Marines. Through his instruction, Marines were conditioned to pass various vigorous Physical Fitness Tests. Often these tests included timed push-ups, sit ups, long distant running, and excruciating obstacle courses. Nevertheless, Rod taught his fellow Marines how to be disciplined in not only behaviors, but also adhering to an essential nutrition regime in efforts of achieving both individual and collective goals. Additionally, Rod emphasized the importance of living a health-conscious lifestyle, and needless to say, this same disciplinarian method of training has aided his clients’ in their transformation into healthy, stable, and productive individuals.
Rod ‘s techniques aren’t in comparison to any other, in lieu of the fact that he caters to each individual’s need. He incorporates a genre of conditioning styles. These areas consist of cardiovascular, kettle bell training, Pilates, ply-o-metrics, strength training and weight lifting to name only a few. In conjunction with strengthening, Rod focuses on targeting one’s nutritional maintenance. Truly his sessions are not repetitious, but unique indeed.
A natural body-building competitor himself, Rod has a plethora of knowledge in strength training. He prides the development of the body into a healthier state, which inspired him to offer more structural one-on-one personalized training sessions. During these invigorating meetings, Rod motivates like no other! He has established a reputation as a self-motivator, and continues to encourage his clients and staff to have a "YES I CAN" attitude.
Because Rod believes that meeting the needs of every age and level is imperative, he provides services to corporate accounts, children, the elderly, physically challenged, and also makes his service mobile. While many place barriers on themselves involving exercise, Rod says, “I’m the trainer to remove barriers.”

STACEY - Almost 100 lbs. ago I made a difficult yet simple choice. I put down the almost empty family size bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos. I went to the nearest mirror and as I stood there looking down I just became so overwhelmed at how morbidly obese I had become. At that very moment, my journey to a healthier me began. I was my very first client. I combined resistance with playful activities to create actively fit lifestyles that people could sustain long term. I found a way to help others improve their quality of life and look GREAT at the same time. I received my certifications from AFPA, ISSA, and the American Red Cross. Armed with knowledge and experience, I'm on a mission to bring SEXY back!

Kathy - Without ever considering myself athletic, I took an aerobics class when my second daughter was six months old and was hooked. That was more than fifteen years ago and I still love this business. I became a fitness instructor and quickly followed up with several personal training certifications and along this journey I learned a valuable lesson, exercise is not about being athletic at all..it's about finding what exercise activity works for you and ultimately makes you feel good about yourself! Yes, believe it or not exercise does make you feel good! To that end, my goal for my clients is to help them discover their gym life. Everyone desires a satisfying personal life, social life, professional life and I work closely with my clients to discover their satisfying gym life even if it's in the comfort of your own home! It's learning to put the pieces together...cardiovascular exercise, weight training, nutrition and accountability.
For many years I worked in gyms training clients and teaching classes until 1999 when I returned to school and became a registered nurse. Now having worked as a nurse and part-time fitness professional for the last 10 years I feel I can even better accommodate my clients. I love cardiovascular exercise and specialize in teaching my clients how to perform different cardio workouts everyday even if on the same equipment. A year ago I returned full time to the health and fitness field hoping to help my clients prevent illness, achieve realistic weight loss, reduce body fat, build strong muscles and more importantly, improve their quality of life.

Tiffany's Impact on My Life – by Candice Harris Belfer
I will never forget the day April 5, 2010... I came head on with Head Fitness Trainer; Tiffany Yates at Fitness Ridge, Biggest Loser Resort. Ironically I had just finished her "Mountain" class. It was the first class of my first day of eight hour ASS-kicking classes that I had waited months for. I was up over 35 pounds and an emotional wreck. I also had a huge chip on my shoulder and couldn't admit that I needed to be there even if I knew I WANTED to. I was so mad at myself for failing, consumed by my home trainer who kept telling me I wasn't ever going to succeed, that I was lazy, and I had let him down. It wasn't him, it was me! I let myself down but I didn't understand it + "It" was suffocating and deafening. Tiffany saw me walking out at the end of class with tears and she insisted that I must look at the FULL view. What did that mean? Perhaps what it applies in my life today! I have been so mad at my book keeper for stealing from me this past year, and my nanny who has been critically ill in the hospital that I forgot to take care of myself. Then, my friend Jen Morton calls to tell me that Tiffany is dedicating an Iron Man for me and I quickly remembered how strong I really am. I must continue to repeat this to myself and begin to live it: "Tiffany, I got this. I know what to do. You gave me everything I need so it's time to do it!"
