Stephanie Hall, NASM - I am certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a personal trainer and through AAAI in Total Body Strength Training, HIIT, and Group Fitness Instruction. I have a background in dance and teach several group classes at Green Ridge including HIIT, Latin Groove, and Bootcamp. 

I appreciate a wide variety in my own workouts and enjoy helping others learn to incorporate multiple facets of exercise to create a well rounded program. From dance to strength training, machines to free weights, we can work together to make an effective, challenging, and fun program that will keep you motivated.

Jonathan Bennett, ACSM CEP - All of my life I have enjoyed being physically active and I would exercise whenever I could, so I decided to make it my career. I received my B.S. in Exercise Physiology from Saint Francis University and earned my certification as an Exercise Physiologist through the American College of Sport Medicine. I have trained a variety of individuals, from youth to older adults, including high school and Division 1 athletes, beginner exercisers, and individuals with different health considerations. I enjoy teaching my clients the skills they need to become independent with their training and to continue to live a healthy lifestyle beyond our time together. I use a wide range of techniques in my training, such as Olympic lifts, kettlebells, bands, and free weights, which allows me to create individualized plans for my clients in order for them to achieve their goals.

Matthew Hall, Level 1 Trainer, CrossFit -  I am an athlete, coach and trainer in the Roanoke Valley with several years of high-level CrossFit experience and coaching.  In high school, I wrestled at Lord Botetourt before injuring my knee freshman year in college. After graduating from Radford University with a Bachelor’s of Social Work, I coached wrestling in the valley for 11 years, primarily at the high school level. I have competed and placed in several adaptive CrossFit competitions and I am a part of Uncle Sam’s Highlanders - an adaptive/able demo team for the Highland Games. In 2018, I competed in the Disabled Strongman at The Arnold Classic and will begin a Paralympic Shot and Discus bid in the summer of 2018. In order to achieve success in multiple sports, a broad and open approach to training is necessary. I utilize multiple training methods to tailor programming to the specific needs of an athlete, focusing on realistic time lines and progress towards identified goals.

Skylar Sargent, NASM - Growing up I enjoyed every sports team I possibly could.  My passion for athletics transformed into a passion for living and overall healthy lifestyle.  I love the positive effects exercise has on my own physical and psychological well-being.  As a personal trainer I am driven to share my enthusiasm and help my clients achieve their goals through positive motivation and hard work.  I am dedicated to lifelong learning as I empower my clients with support, knowledge and skills.  As a team we will help each other reach our full potential!
