We live in a beautiful, clean, high altitude environment that allows us to explore the outdoors and challenge our fitness year round. For that reason, myself, as well as some of you are proud to call this place home. From childhood I have been involved in fitness in some aspect whether it was running, playing volleyball or basketball, downhill skiing, or horseback riding. My awareness of the significance of balancing proper nutrition, training, and rest for optimal performance became apparent as I wanted to excel in my sports and recreational activities.

In that time I have earned a B.S. in Exercise Science and Doctorate in Physical Therapy from NAU. I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through NSCA, and for the ski enthusiasts I am a level II alpine certified ski instructor through the PSIA.

HANS LAKOSKY-DREXLER
As a nationally certified personal trainer since July 2002, I have seen first hand how quality of life can improve dramatically when people are inspired to live healthier. With my experience and intense personal dedication I can help you find your way to optimum health. Personal trainers utilize scientific research and collective experience to create individualized programs based on a person's goals and lifestyle. In addition to obtaining short-term goals, I believe in educating clients to prepare their body and mind for long-term success. Training with appropriate programming choices, good technique and proper breathing will produce the best results. With emphasis on perfect posture and effective core conditioning, you will save your body from unnecessary wear and tear! Heart rate based cardiovascular endurance training, strength training, nutrition counseling and making healthy lifestyle changes are all part of the plan. Working side by side with the Physical Therapists at Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers in Chicago has contributed to my knowledge of the human body and how to address issues of those clients recovering from injury or with specific exercise restrictions. I am a certified Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant and CPR/AED certified. My wife and I recently relocated and are looking forward to a bright future here in Flagstaff. My interests include biking, swimming, cross-country skiing and enjoying the great outdoors! Please call me anytime with questions or to set up a consultation. Home 526-0948/Cell 773-425-4904
