Derek Jones, CPT

I’m a full-time fitness trainer with more than 11 years fitness training experience. I provide personalized, individual and group fitness instruction, and have done extensive training work with high school, college, and professional athletes.  My personal training certification is from the National Strength Professional Association (NSPA), where I’m currently continuing my education through this organization.  

I also have served as head tennis pro at tennis clubs and camps throughout the Northeast and Canada for over 20 years. During these years, I coached and trained novices to internationally ranked professional players.  My coach and mentor was Robert "Bobby" Johnson, Jr. who also coached U.S. Open and Wimbledon champions Arthur Ashe and Althea Gibson.

Philosophy.

I believe in “old-school” hard work fused with new exercise science. I don’t believe in fad diets or any quick exercise gimmicks you’ve seen on TV.  It takes hard work, dedication, determination, and motivation to achieve your health and fitness goals. I provide the knowledge, accountability, and guidance to help you get there.

Like most of you, I’m a Baby Boomer, who happens to be in the best shape of my life. I understand the challenges of maintaining health and fitness at our age. I guarantee that if you make the commitment, my program will get the results you deserve in the quickest time possible. If you want to be healthy, have a strong body, feel good about yourself, and live to play with your kids and grandkids, then you need to stop making excuses and call me.

Excuses.

And speaking of excuses, money should never be an obstacle when it comes to health and fitness. In the U.S., we pay far too much annually for things we don’t need.  But for some odd reason, our health is usually our last priority, especially when it comes to time and money. Never, I repeat never, put a price tag on your health. It’s priceless.

Listen, my passion is to help you be in the best shape of your life. Life is short. Let me help you be fit and healthy throughout your journey.
