Keith "Doc" Hall
 Doc is a New York native. He joined the Air Force in 1974. While in the Air Force, he was involved in military fitness training and played on 10 championship Air Force basketball teams from 1980 to 1987. As an assistant coach for one of the top Air Force teams in Utah from 1985 to 1986, he assisted the team in being undefeated for two consecutive years. He also coached the Air Force women's basketball league. When Doc retired from the Air Force in 1994, he came to the Island. He attended Galveston College from 1996 to 1997, taking classes mainly having to do with physical education and kinesiology. Doc received his personal training certification from the National Institute of Preventative Medicine (NIPM) in June of 1998.
Matt Bartlett
 Matt is a New York native. He began fitness at age 7 by joining peewee wrestling and went on to become a two-time New York State wrestling champion. Matt went on to college at Syracuse where he continued to wrestle. After college, Matt spent two years in the US Coast Guard where he specialized in search and rescue and law enforcement. At age 22, Matt moved to Galveston, where he received his personal training and sports nutrition certifications with the International Fitness Professionals Association (IFPA). Matt is active in aerobics and has trained under Mitch and Margo Mitchell (1988 Mixed Pair Texas State Aerobic Champions). Matt believes that his military and wrestling background helps him as a trainer to motivate his clients to do that extra they thought wasn't possible.

AJ Lacey
 A.J.'s love of fitness began with a desire to play football in his senior year of high school. He had been overweight since he was a child, so he started walking one block every night. He worked up to walking ten miles a night. He eventually was able to jog ten miles every night and realized his dream of playing football. He started as a janitor at Total Fitness Center when he was eighteen years old. During the past twenty-five years, he has worked in all aspects of the fitness industry, including personal training, group exercise instruction, membership sales, and management. He has worked as a Low Impact Land Instructor for the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. He instituted the Kick boxing classes at Galveston College, where he also taught Step Aerobics. He has been featured as a fitness expert on the "Health Beat" segment of the NBC affiliate in Houston. A.J. is a Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Group Fitness Instructor, and Certified Kick boxing Instructor. He is certified through the National Association of Fitness Certification (NAFC) and the National Exercise Trainers Association (NETA).

Mike Andrews
 My name is Michael Andrews and I was born and raised here on Galveston Island.
My passion and overall love for fitness and nutrition came at a very young age, and I have been strength training since the age of 17. My personal training certification is through AFPA, I am certified in Red Cross CPR & First Aid, and have obtained an insurmountable amount of hands-on knowledge while working at Gold's Gym and now at Galveston Health & Racquet Club. I am currently obtaining a degree in criminal justice and am also enrolled in the Galveston College Police Academy.
Helping others to pursue a healthier lifestyle and succeed at their goals is not only rewarding; I feel it is a passion and my calling in life.

Genesis Guajardo
 Genesis graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor Degree in Science from Stephen F. Austin State University in May 2010. She majored in Kinesiology and minored in Biology. She is an ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) certified Health Fitness Specialist, and a First Line Therapy certified lifestyle educator. “I have experience in kettle bell training for those who are looking for something new and innovative in their workout routine. I have lived in Galveston and have been consistently involved in exercise all my life. Having been raised in the sport of gymnastics, strength and endurance training are key prerequisites to success. I was a competitive gymnast for 10 years, as well as a volleyball player from middle school through college, so I personally know the hardship involved in competitive sports and pushing oneself to the next level – that of “winning”!
I named my business “Fitness Done right” so anyone will know what my priority is.
I will design an exercise program specifically for you so you can reach or even exceed your goals, and I promise to be there every step of the way to motivate, empower, and inspire you! My goal is to help you obtain a healthier you, and to influence you to make permanent lifestyle changes.”

Tom Gamelin
 I’m a native of Vermont and moved to Galveston after hurricane Ike in 2008. I started training in my early twenties and received my personal trainer certification in 2004 from National Federation of Personal Trainers (NFPT), along with a second certification in Nutrition and Weight Management. My philosophy on training is this: Each person has their own goals; as a personal trainer, I will design a program where education and hands-on training teach you how to go about reaching those goals. In doing this, you will learn how to use the appropriate equipment in the gym along with proper nutrition. I believe every one has the ability to reach whatever goals they set for themselves, and with the right nutrition and educational training, there is no reason you can’t succeed! So stop procrastinating and allow me or one of the other qualified personal trainers get you started today!
