Chad Jones -Fitness Retreat Program Designer, Personal trainer, Fitness Holiday Team coordinator
Chad Jones – Fitness Retreat Program Designer and Personal trainer
Chad has been involved in fitness for 10 years. He saw the benefit of fitness during his time at university. Bad diet and lack of activity led to being overweight and sluggish. He began to see the change in his own body and mind after changing his lifestyle. He received a CSCS from NSCA in 2005. He previously worked as a process technician in research and development in manufacturing processes.
This has led him to a very practical approach to fitness. Just because something is popular or “in” doesn’t mean it works or has much effect. If something offers little value to a fitness program we throw it out.
Chad is the owner and the one you will be working with.
He will be right there with you.
As someone who has competed in regional powerlifting competitions he understands how to make the body stronger. Since moving to Thailand his interest has broadened to various forms of exercise including circuit training with bodyweight, bicycling, Indian club swinging, and weighted barrel exercises. He has a strong desire to help others to achieve their fitness goals. This is has driven him to become a Fitness Retreat Program Designer to help design holistic programs to help people to get started on a healthy lifestyle.
