            Hello, my name is Dominick Chavez and I recently moved from Albuquerque, NM to Scottsdale, AZ. I am currently an NASM-Certified Personal Trainer, NASM-Performance Enhancement Specialist and a Martial Artist. I have been in the fitness industry for over 7 years. I am a functional based trainer and a strong believer in improving overall health.

I was diagnosed with Spinal Degeneration in my early twenties and have several herniations in my thoracic and lumbar spine. Luckily, I met a doctor who said bluntly, “Dominick, your problem is the way you treat your body. If you don't change your lifestyle you will be in a wheel chair by 30!” It was a rude awakening.

I have always been an active person, an athlete, an adventurer, and enjoyed working out. I looked great and thought I was doing what I should be doing. It wasn't until I researched and found that it was my isolated method of training and avoidance of cardio, flexibility and proper nutrition that was causing the problem. I changed my workouts to be more functional based and began studying Kenpo. Almost immediately things changed. I am now 37 and more active and a better athlete than I ever was. This life changing experience led me to choose the career I now love so that I can share my knowledge with others. Exercise has done much more than just improve my health. It has helped me through several challenging situations. Becoming involved in this industry has allowed me to help and empower others as I have myself. As I was leaving New Mexico my clients came to me not as clients but as friends, sad that I was leaving because I have made such an impact in there lives; however, they were also happy to see me grow, happy for everything I have shared with them. I love to work hard and demand the same from my clients. I take my job very seriously but with a light fun heart.
