Meet Your Trainer

John Hinkle, MS, CSCS  

John’s career in exercise was sparked back in junior high when he began weight training for the various sports he played.  In college he became interested in bodybuilding and challenged himself by competing in two shows.  His post- college career led him through 5 years of corporate fitness, lecturing on various wellness topics on a national level, assisting fitness equipment companies in product development, and 6 years of personal training at Duke University. 

John started Move It Be Fit as a part-time, in-home personal training business back in 1999.  In 2005 he decided to start working full-time on growing his personal training company.  He heavily relies on kettlebell training and joint mobility training when working with his clients.  John did his kettlebell training under the top Senior Certified Russian Kettlebell trainer in the southeast.  He received his Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology from West Virginia University and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.  He is also R-Phase certified through Z Health Fitness Solutions.
