Marc Monroe, CSCS, USAW-L1
Marc has over 20 years experience training: in a sports medicine/rehab setting, as a group exercise instructor, and as an independent personal trainer. In that time, he has worked with a diverse clientele with a wide variety of physical abilities, and has gained extensive knowledge of orthopedic injuries and their treatments.
Along the way, he has developed an intuition for helping clients dial in complex exercises and accessing pesky muscles notorious for insubordination, earning him the nickname ‘The Glute Whisperer’. Additional experience includes weight training (olympic lifting, power lifting, and otherwise), group exercise training, TRX, HIIT, and he has been running ski conditioning exercise groups for most of his career.
His approach to training is founded on the ideas that workouts should be functional, straightforward, and efficient - think less ‘Instagram exercises’ involving various contraptions and weird equipment, and more functional, repeatable, and economical exercises that replicate your sport or activities; that they should be comprehensive - looking at the body as a whole, rather than focusing on specific parts or movements; that they should be educational - teaching the client to use his or her body correctly and efficiently in both sport and everyday activities; and lastly, that they should build confidence as well as strength, and that making a workout fun is as important as all else.
Marc has a degree in Kinesiology with Emphasis in Exercise Testing, Analysis, and Prescription. He is a
Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), a Level 1 USA Weightlifting Coach, a TRX Qualified Coach, and has Level 1 and 2 certifications in FMS (Functional Movement Systems).
When not training clients or himself in the gym, you may find playing in his "church": the mountains. Marc enjoys skiing, trail running, hiking, cycling and/or spending time with his two kids.
