Personal Training in Athens Ga

Charlize Townsend

Certified Personal Trainer - National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)

Hello, I'm Charlie! I started working out in my senior year of high school. Before that, you could never find me in a gym. I attended the University of North Georgia for two years, and while being there, I fell in love with working out. The community, the people, and the opportunities the gym introduced me to were mind-blowing. That same sense of connection is exactly what drew me to Fitness at Five, where I've decided to continue my training career!

With a little over a year of experience, I've had the pleasure of learning that working out isn't just a way to lose weight or blow off steam. It's a way to learn how your body moves, connect with yourself, your muscles, and see what you're truly capable of. I started working out because I wanted to tone my muscles and lose weight, but I continue to work out because it's taught me so much more about myself, and for the first time in years, I've become my own friend.

Along the way, I have learned that the right weight training program using progressive overload can do wonders for the body. With strength training we can prevent injuries, increase mobility and get your body to its best state overall. No matter what your age, gender or fitness level, I can help you get to where you want to be!

I hope to see you soon! Contact me for a free consultation.

Education: B.S. Sport Management, University Of Georgia
Certification: ISSA CPT/Nutritionist

Hi! I'm Sydney,

I was a multi-sport athlete for over a decade in school playing tennis, also running track and cross country. As I got older and made my way out of organized sport, I pursued strength training as an outlet to facilitate my active lifestyle. It soon became more than just a hobby, and I found I wanted to pursue a career in the fitness industry, which is when Fitness at Five found me.

I began as a member here in undergrad at UGA, and fell in love with the gym itself, but more so the community it brought me. This gym fostered my initial interest in fitness and soon after I obtained my personal training certification. Now, with 5 years of being certified as a personal trainer and helping clients at various age ranges and fitness levels, I feel confident I can help you reach your own individual goals. Workouts with me tend to be focused on strength training with progressive overload, as well as core/stability training mixed throughout. I would love to help you reach your fitness goals and navigate nutrition, as both play large roles on the path toward your health goals!

Please don't hesitate to contact me for a free consultation!

Kenyon VanDeMark

NASM Certified Personal Trainer

As someone who has worked in the fitness industry for years, I've had the privilege of training a diverse range of clients in various ways. Each client has presented unique challenges and opportunities, allowing me to tailor my approach and continuously evolve my methods. I've learned to adapt my training techniques to fit individual needs.

My core belief is that every individual is unique—women are not simply smaller men, and men are not merely larger women. Each person has their own distinct physique, metabolism, and genetic makeup. I don't subscribe to a one-size-fits-all approach to training. Instead, I aim to bridge the gap between your goals and needs by finding the training style that best suits your body.

Vitality refers to the ability to live, grow, and develop. I want to help you find balance in your growth and development during training, ensuring that it stimulates and challenges you effectively.
