For those of you with the notion that personal trainers are oversized muscle bound men who only train body builders, we are here to set the record straight. At the trainers studio we believe that the fundamental premise of personal training is to help people of all ages and walks of life MOVE better and hence LIVE better. This can be stated more simply as BETTER LIVING THROUGH SOUND MOVEMENT. We look at personal training as a science in which we teach our clients to use their bodies in the most bio-mechanically sound and efficient way to achieve whatever goals they may have set for themselves; whether that goal is running a marathon or learning to walk unassisted, high jumping or learning to climb a flight of stairs. No matter the training objective, the trainers studio has a professional who can help you meet your goals. Our philosophy is that each person - with the proper guidance, application of knowledge and inspiration - can be his or her own best teacher and trainer. Our job is to provide the guidance, knowledge and inspiration in the best way we know how.

The Trainers Studio is a well-appointed training facility catering to the individual looking for a semi-private gym. We call our place semi-private, not because you need a membership, but because it is a place for you to work one on one with a specialist trained to meet your fitness needs. We feel private sessions are the best way for you and your trainer to focus on your specific goals.

Our staff consists of three facility owners/trainers and three self-employed trainers. Each trainer is certified by a fully accredited program in their specific disciplines and is well established in the field. Some of these disciplines include, but are not limited to Sports Specific training, Rehabilitation training (including pre- and post- surgery), Special Needs training, Nutrition Counseling and Fitness Consulting.

Walt Reynolds, managing partner of the trainers studio, graduated from The University of Oregon with a degree in Exercise Science in 1986. He specializes in sports training and athlete development as well as post physical therapy and rehabilitation.

Lisa Taylor, managing partner of the trainers studio, graduated from Michigan State University where she studied both Kinesiology and Business. Lisa’s specialties include weight loss, general fitness and sport specific training for running and soccer.

Carrie McCardel graduated from Michigan State Graduate and specializes in post pregnancy weight loss and general fitness.
