Chance Mountainside Fitness

My name is Chance. I’m 29 years old. I grew up in a small town in Iowa. I initially got into physical fitness to improve my level of athletic performance. After high school I decided my football star days were over and I chose to attend Arizona State University. I continued to exercise regularly but more for aesthetic purposes than for performance reasons. When it was time to choose a major in school, I had to ask myself what I was really interested in, the one thing that came out on the top of the list was the human body and how we could manipulate it through exercise. So I initially chose exercise science as my major and later switched my focus to exercise wellness.

Following my graduation, I received my personal training certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I then was hired by Chris Powell to work for his company called the Elite Fitness Team. He mentored me and I learned and continue to learn many of the things I still incorporate today from him. I also did personal training for the Revive Spa located in the JW Marriott. My next stop was working for Triad Personal Training which was the company located inside of Mountainside Fitness on 116th and Shea. That company was later consumed by Core Concepts. I started as a trainer for Core and was later promoted to the position of Fitness Director at out Platinum Club. I’ve been in that position for the past three and a half years.

My job now is to educate members on the correct approach to help them achieve their personal fitness goals. This includes information on the effects of cardio, resistance training, personal training, classes, and often most importantly, a proper diet. In addition, I run the personal training department. I do the sales as well as the management along side my counterpart Dylan King.
