ABOUT ME

I'm Joel Minton, an NCCA accredited certified personal trainer catering to the needs of seniors and gentle exercisers. As a former teacher in adult high school, I observed how lesson activities originally designed for younger learners (teens) did not suit the needs of our older students. It's also true in the world of fitness training.

If you have ever become discouraged, as I was, or even injured, by one-size-fits-all instruction or training programs, then you might appreciate the calling I experienced in 2018. I had a new sense of mission: to bring to people of all ages, abilities, and experience more inclusive and accessible methods of fitness, meditation, and cognitive exercise!

After a year of preparation in my certification programs as well as study of varied additional materials, I launched Active Living Fitness Coach, to be your supportive coach as you become invigorated with strength, balance, and confidence in your Active Life!

TESTIMONIALS

"For elderly people who have tried hard to gain back their physical mobility and were dissatisfied with ordinary senior workout classes, Joel's unique blend of physical exercise and mental mindfulness can be the ideal solution.

"Unlike the usual senior workout classes, Joel's fitness program applies . . . visualisation and targeting techniques that successful athletes use."

-E. Talu

"Working with Joel was a great experience because he did not push me too hard and had the right approach for working with someone recovering from an injury. Other personal trainers I worked with just did the usual extreme exercises that would leave me in pain and susceptible to further injury. I did not have this worry with Joel at all . . . I highly recommend him to anyone looking for personal training."
