Certified Personal Trainer Jackson Phillips provides his clients with complete personal training service, always including a fitness-level assessment, goal planning, exercise program instruction and nutrition guidance. After many years in a health-benefits advisory position for local HIV/AIDS services, and through his studies, Phillips found that the underlying key to great health is one’s level of commitment to their health.

“Goals may vary, as some of us want to be more muscular while others wish to trim down, some desire visible results or just want to get more out of their days and rest better at night,” he said. “Good physical fitness is the best possible start for anyone wishing to make positive physical changes in their lives. The greatest part is how this healthy base overflows into every other aspect of our lives.”

Unlike big-name gyms where people are given one or two hours of instruction and a similar circuit-training workout, Phillips utilizes the optimum-performance training model from the National Academy of Sports Medicine to tailor each client’s fitness program to their specific needs and goals. He offers a number of fee and payment plan options to suit just about anyone who is ready to make a positive step toward improving their lives, and is willing to have fun getting there.

After spending more than 25 years in North County, Phillips is pleased to now live and work centrally in the GLBT community. “Our community has helped me to deal with important life issues, as well as make some sound and positive changes in my life,” he said. “It’s important that we all support each other, since despite our strength and conviction, we are still a minority. I know savvy gay consumers also wish, as I do, to keep our dollars working in the family, so I will continue to give my best to our community and to those who are ready to enjoy the benefits of one-on-one fitness training with true personalized attention.”
