“My approach to fitness emphasizes age-appropriate programming with a specific focus given to the client's goals. I have over 15 years of hands-on client experience and have worked with clients from all walks of life.”

John Lusk, CPT, CSCS, is a personal trainer, nutritionist and business development associate with over 15 years of experience and is certified in strength and conditioning training, elite fitness training, and nutrition. He has worked with many clients throughout the years, ranging from K-12 athletes to individuals looking to maintain balance, health, and wellness.

John’s passion for fitness started when he was a young athlete in grade school, continuing through his time as a collegiate baseball player, and ultimately transitioning into a career as a Special Agent, combatting terrorism and espionage for the United States Federal Government. Due to the physical demands and high stakes of his career, physical fitness was at the top of his priority list to ensure the safety of himself and those around him.

John has a very personable approach to fitness – he takes the time to get to know his clients, their goals, and what motivates them. From there, he designs a customized plan that works for them and the goals they are looking to achieve. He establishes long-term client interactions with the goal of integrating exercise and optimal wellness into the high demands of daily life and ensuring it becomes a lifestyle that lasts a lifetime. His intense passion for this field allows him to invest in each of the client’s goals as if they were his own.

When John is not training with his clients, he enjoys being outdoors, riding motorcycles, woodworking, working out, playing ice hockey, and spending time with his two Great Danes.

    "I empower people by connecting with them, discovering their motivations, gaining their trust and listening to them."

    Francine Blinten, MBA, MS, CCN, CNS, has worn many hats: she started out in the finance sector, and later transitioned into the world of nutrition after having children.

      “I pride myself on providing motivation, support and accountability to clients. Because eating is so personal and often requires behavior change, I ensure my clients know that I am there for them every step of the way.”

      Ashley Jerry, MS, is a nutritionist who specializes in a variety of fields, including food sensitivities, medical conditions, and sports nutrition. Her expertise includes gut health issues, weight loss, self-image and an overall understanding of nutrition, as well as treating a diverse range of medical conditions such as high cholesterol, high blood glucose levels, obesity, pregnancy, gastrointestinal function, anxiety, depression, and overall health. Ashley also specializes in sports-specific nutrition guidance, including for sports such as powerlifting, running, bodybuilding, crew, football, and more.

      One of Ashley’s fortes is designing customized nutrition protocols to include meal plans, grocery lists, health tips, and supplement recommendations. Having the ability and knowledge to assess lab results helps Ashley to create a comprehensive eating guide to keep her clients on track and improve overall health.

      Ashley is a strong advocate of having a strong knowledge of nutrition, which makes all the difference in a person’s mental and physical strength. Childhood obesity is something that she is also very passionate about, as educating children on how to take care of their bodies is the start to implementing preventative care long term.
