Chase has been an athlete his whole life. He received numerous awards in basketball, track, and cross country in high school. When it came time to graduate, he felt that if he had pushed himself harder in his training he would have been able to compete at the collegiate level. In college he found his love for motivating, encouraging, and training individuals to push themselves to be the best they can be. He knows that his clients are capable of doing amazing things and wants to help them reach their full potential.

Chase graduated Texas State University in 2019 with a degree in Exercise Sports Science. He looks forward to using his education and experience to better the lives of others. Chase loves what he does and has chosen a career that will never feel like work.

As Coach Mo says, “Being fit isn’t just a look, it’s a feeling.” April can totally relate. Having been a high school athlete and avid runner in college, April knows how amazing it is to feel and look strong, fit, and alive. But she wasn’t always so fit. Before earning her personal fitness trainer certification, April spent 10 years sitting behind a desk. During that time she struggled with weight gain, fatigue, and pain in her lower back, shoulders, and neck. Ten years was enough! Now, pain free, she has made fitness an integral part of her life.

As a member of the Coach Mo’s Elite Fitness team, April teaches people about the awesomeness of the human body by guiding them through individualized fitness training programs designed to make their bodies feel and look great. April also helps individuals who want to start a fitness program but are limited by chronic pain. As a certified corrective exercise specialist, April helps clients identify the sources of their chronic pain, teaches them how to perform exercises designed to reduce their pain, and gets them ready for more advanced workout sessions. Coach April says, “Let’s do this!”
