DREW STEVENSON, CSCS, ACE

DREWST~1_edited_editedBeing healthy and active has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a health-minded family and participated in competitive athletics, particularly lacrosse. After receiving a degree in business and “driving a desk” for a few years, I began to yearn for a way to make my love of health and fitness more than just a pastime. I now put that passion to good use. As a trainer, helping individuals reach their health and fitness goals is more than just a job for me; it’s a vocation.

  • My certifications include: National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), American Council on Exercise (ACE) Certified Personal Trainer and Reaction Cycling Certified Instructor. Additionally, I am constantly researching my field, participating in educational seminars and furthering my education to stay on top of the latest research.
  • My business background translates to my work in personal training: I bring those standards to my work by being results-oriented and professional in all aspects of my work relationships.
  • I’m an avid athlete, regularly competing in marathons, half-marathons, Half-Ironman triathlons, and a variety of other running and triathlon events.
  • Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Chicago Machine, a major-league lacrosse team.

JACQUELYN JACKSON, CSCS, NSCA-CPT

Physical activity has always been a part of my life as I spent my entire youth participating in various school and league sports including basketball, softball, and track & field. When I was not on the field, I could be found on the sidelines as a student athletic trainer.

My desire to further understand health concepts and human performance evolved through my college studies and I received my Bachelor of Science in Health & Sport Sciences from the University of Oklahoma. My certifications include National Strength Jackie Jackson HSand Conditioning Association Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) & Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Aerobics and Fitness Association of America – Certified Group Exercise Instructor.

Whether I’m helping an athlete take their game to the next level or helping an individual live a healthier life, I feel that anyone can benefit from a fitness regimen regardless of age or athletic ability. My competitive nature still drives me to stay active through regular participation in league softball and marathons. While I keep challenging myself, I also aim to motivate others to live and love life through my personal philosophy to “look fit, feel fit, and be fit.”


PERCY GIBSON, NPTI, NASM

Percy Gibson_editedPrior to becoming a personal trainer, I spent 7 years with GE Capital’s Mergers and Acquisitions Division. After a successful corporate career, I now help people achieve success when it comes to health and fitness.

As a former collegiate athlete (Track & Field, University of Tennessee) I’ve always had a passion for excellence when it came to fitness. This background taught me the benefits of maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.

I enjoy helping others achieve success and watching them reap the rewards of such hard work. This is one of the reasons I enjoy working with young athletes, whether it is in basketball, football, soccer or many other sport-specific training techniques. There’s no better feeling than watching them grow as individuals and as athletes.
