It’s incredibly fulfilling to see my clients transform, and the connections I’ve built with them over time are what I value most—these relationships often last a lifetime.

Jeff Lewis
I was never physically active, until I joined the Marine Corps. My life changed for the better during my service to our country. I was surrounded by people who wanted to constantly improve physically and mentally, which inspired me to start going to the gym on a daily basis. I enjoy working as a personal trainer because I’m providing the same kind of inspiration to others around me. I look forward to working with people that have the desire to make a change in their life.
Qualifications: NASM Certified Personal Trainer
Casey Macabulos
I was never athletic or played sports growing up and was not surrounded by anyone physically active. My years in the military showed me the value of making good life choices, given that my job depended on maintaining good overall health. After leaving the military, I moved to Southern Illinois to attend SIUC and completed degrees in both Exercise Science and Human Nutrition and Dietetics.
My focus is on functional exercise and I like to center workouts around exercises that translate to activities of daily living (ADL). I have also taught small group fitness classes structured around functional movements and cross-training.
