Certified trainers at the Foster Recreation Center can help you develop exercise plans, stay motivated and overcome fitness plateaus through personal training sessions.

A fitness assessment addresses health related concerns and sets goals for new exercise programs. Physiological testing is also done to determine baseline measurements, identify areas for improvement, assess progression and educate the client.

The following dimensions of fitness will be tested during an assessment:

• Height and weight
• Heart rate
• Blood pressure
• Body composition
• Cardiorespiratory endurance
• Muscular strength
• Flexibility
• Goal Setting

Our trainers help you overcome your fitness barriers in sessions designed specifically to fit your needs and help you reach your goals.

My name is Lizzie Tuschoff! One of my favorite parts about being active is the feeling during and after working out. When I lift, I take it as the time dedicated to just me and my fitness goals. I am able to put aside any other stress or external factors and focus on just me. I enjoy working with clients because I encourage them despite them feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or unmotivated. One of my favorite things about personal training is the rapport I get to build with a variety of clients, and I am there to help them achieve their goals! I was a beginner at one point, too, so I love seeing and working with beginners in the gym setting.

Hi! I’m Melinda, and I am an adult student currently majoring in Exercise and Movement Science here at Missouri State. I received my NASM certification for personal training in October 2024. As someone who is relatively new to the fitness industry, I have a deep understanding of how it feels to walk into a gym and not fully know what to do. My goal is to help my clients feel more comfortable within a gym setting and learn to incorporate fitness as part of their daily lives. I look forward to working with you on your personal goals and tailoring a fitness program that fits your individual needs.

Hey, I’m Evan Holt. I’m from Alexandria, Virginia, and I’m a NASM certified personal trainer majoring in musical theater at MSU. I specialize in highly personalized training routines for busy clients, taking my clients’ schedules, goals, preferences, limitations, and experience in mind. I’ve created plans for beginners, athletes and even a NYC choreographer. Proper training routines are key to avoiding injury. I have personally never suffered from a weightlifting related injury! I hope to help you achieve your fitness goals!

Hi, my name is Caroline. I am a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified personal trainer. I am also a Cycle and HIIT fitness instructor here the at Foster Recreation Center. I use strength training to help my clients accomplish their goals of building their dream body and improving their lifestyle. I take the time to explain to my clients the “why” of the exercises or movements we are preforming so they can learn their body and the basics of exercise to give them confidence to continue their fitness journey in and outside of our training sessions. I also teach and encourage healthy habits for their daily life for a more wholistic approach to improve physical, mental and emotional well-being. I believe exercise should be fun, so I prioritize getting to know my clients and the activity’s they enjoy so I can incorporate those activities into their program. I love meeting new people and helping them in their fitness journey.

My name is Jack Belosi and I am a NASM certified Trainer. My love for fitness started with my own weight loss journey. I understand the mental and physical challenges that comes with getting fit because I’ve been there myself. My goal is to help my clients achieve a healthier life style in a sustainable way.
