Justin’s journey in health and fitness began early, growing up in a gym managed by his father and inspired by his mother’s daily workouts. An athlete throughout his youth, he pursued soccer until a foot injury at 17 changed his trajectory. A long and frustrating recovery sparked his passion for rehabilitation, strength training, and holistic health.
This experience led Justin to study Fitness and Wellness at Indiana University, earn a certification as an Integrative Health Practitioner, and begin coaching clients in personalized training settings. He deepened his expertise through the OPEX CCP and mentorship at CrossFit South Bend.
Currently enrolled in the CHEK Academy, Justin is committed to expanding his knowledge in corrective exercise and holistic health. Now at Central Athlete, he helps clients create more fulfilling lives through movement, mindfulness, and lasting behavior change.
