Terry Cox
Personal Trainer
I have used resistance training for fitness and well being for over 37 years. In 2009 I competed in the INBA/PNBA sanctioned Arizona Copper Classic bodybuilding competition. I placed first in Masters, Overall Masters, Heavyweight Novice, and was awarded best posing routine. While my experience in bodybuilding is not vast, it is enough to make me appreciate the discipline and dedication it takes to do well.
I also have over 18 years’ experience training occupational athletes in the Fire Service. As a training Chief, part of my job was to run firefighter academies and prepare candidates for the grueling physical challenges of structural firefighting and rescue.
Through my own experiences with physical training and seeing the benefit reaped by others, I developed a passion for resistance and functional training.
In 2022, I attained a personal trainer certification through ISSA and have been training clients since. I am a firm believer in resistance training for overall health at any age or experience level. It brings me great satisfaction to help people realize their health and fitness goals, and to see the accomplishments possible through goal setting, determination, and hard work.
