Greg Smith

A true exercise enthusiast, Greg leads by example. In the past few years, Greg has competed in a wide range of events from an Ironman triathlon, a weightlifting competition, and trail race throughout up and down the bluffs of Devil's Lake State Park. Greg has been with Orange Shoe Personal Fitness for 3 years and really got into fitness while studying Exercise Science at UW-Madison. Exercise really became a large part of his life while in college as he saw the physical and mental changes it produced. From there it all took off! Upon graduation in 2007, he spent time in San Diego, CA at a weight loss camp for teenagers. It was a life changing event for him as he was able to mold the lives of young adults and help them become happier and healthier. Since starting at Orange Shoe, Greg has worked with college athletes, grandparents looking to stay strong to chase after their grandkids, and pretty much everyone in between. He savors the challenge of getting each and every client to where they want to be. He can be your intense, hardcore trainer and also your friend and shoulder to lean on when life gets tough. Whatever you may need, Greg makes it all about YOU. Outside of Orange Shoe, Greg enjoys attempting to learn and cook new things (without burning down the house!), attending badger hockey games, and the occassional rock concert! If you asked Greg what's on his bucket list, you may hear: "Qualify for the 2012 Boston Marathon," "Go Skydiving," or even "Run a marathon in all 50 states!." You won't see him backing down from a challenge......you are more likely to hear him asking, "how can we make this tougher!" Random Facts About Greg!
