kelly Sommer

Hi!

My name is Kelly Sommer. I have been an athlete all my life. I played college volleyball at Westminster College and received a degree in Physical Education K-12. I became a certified ACSM personal trainer after graduating in 2005. I worked at various gyms training a variety of clients around St. Louis full time. When I noticed the need for group sessions, I opened up my own group fitness business as well. That was a huge hit for some who liked group workouts, or for those who could not afford the one on one sessions. My fitness business accommodated all shapes, sizes, ages, and genders. I eventually had to employ a few trainers to help me out. I could instruct anywhere from 5-100 people at a during my fitness classes. 

I have been a personal trainer for 20 years now! I am married with three children while working in an industry I love. 

When COVID hit, I moved a lot of my clients to virtual sessions. We would work together all over the country via FaceTime sessions. Virtual training has proven to be another avenue in the fitness industry that many can benefit from.  

Today I travel to clients homes, set up workouts outdoors and in parks, meet with clients in gym settings, and continue to take virtual sessions with clients. 

I came across Fit Pro Travel at an IDEA conference in Chicago years ago. I thought the concept was awesome! Now I am finally taking a chance to try it out!
