Staff Profile: Terry Martin

Personal Trainer

My name is Terry and I was born in Seattle, Washington and grew up in Alameda, California. Personal Training taps into my social side and my enthusiasm to help others in their quest for health and fitness. Infinite empathy and passion for helping others feel better, live longer, more physically capable, athletic lives makes personal training the ideal fit for me.  My life mission is to support, motivate and guide people in their commitment to activity, exercise and nutrition that is both sensible and practical.  My experience is broad and deep having worked as a trainer at City of Davis Senior Center, Sacramento YMCA and Exertec over the last ten years. Additionally I’ve interned in physical therapy at Children’s Hospital Oakland, Sutter Davis and U.C. D. Medical Center Sacramento. Yoga, cycling, hiking and a highly varied strength training practice are the mainstays of my personal exercise program.

My Training Philosophies:

  • Live for Fun Work and Hard Play.
  • Being interested is not enough, you must be committed.
  • Exercise is the solution.
  • Train and prepare for the unknown and the unknowable.
  • “Quality of life” is dependent on physical fitness.

Interests/Hobbies:

  • Mountain biking
  • Hiking.
  • Books and red wine.

*Terry is available for training a variety of days and hours, 7 days a week.
