About Me
Charles Rodgers
Certified Fitness Trainer,
National Academy of Sports Medicine
I have always had a passion for sports, recreation and fitness. As a youth, I competed in track and dance. After moving to Hawaii, I began my professional career in the fitness industry as a group Aerobics instructor for the US Navy. I actively competed in the National Aerobics Championship where I won Gold in the 1993 Mens Hawaii Competition. Also, I have competed in the 200M and 400M Mens Sub-Masters Track and Field Competitions, taking the Gold and Silver in both individual and team meets.
Later in 1993, I relocated to Orange County to accept a Hotel/Resort position, coordinating group exercise and fitness training activities. After several personal training and management positions in local health clubs, I decided to launch FitWorx in 2000, developing my own system of personal training, incorporating a variety of disciplines, activities, venues and age groups. This gives me the flexibility to tailor my programs for each clients needs. I can offer in home, group, in the field, or in the gym sessions. The variety keeps me fresh, challenged and responsive to my clientele.
I am so proud of my dedicated clients, they inspire me daily. I have assisted professional athletes from the NBA, NHL, ABA and MLB, as well as entrepreneurs, CEOs, moms, dads, kids, sports teams, entertainers, seniors, in achieving their fitness goals and improving many other areas in their lives in the process. Fitness isn't an event, it is a process and with effort, dedication and guidance, everything is possible.
I hold or have held multiple certifications in NASM (Advance CPT), AFFA, and ISCA and have been certified in several programs, including Box Aerobics, Kickboxing, Spinning, and GTS (Gravity Training System). Over the last few years, I have been a featured speaker for teams and youth programs, and I have been an instructor for ISCA and AFFA. I'm currently a guest presenter for the Professional Fitness Institute (Las Vegas, NV). My education through NASM and my experience in the gym and as an instructor for fitness students have given me the tools to assist you in reaching your goals. I can't imagine doing anything other than fitness. I have the best job in the world!
I live in Ladera Ranch, CA with my wife and 3 children.
“Do something fit today!” ...whatever your passion for fitness may be.
