My name is Jimmy Girot and I’m a certified personal trainer. Following a four-year collegiate football career, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Health and Movement Studies. In addition to my collegiate studies, I’m an ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) Certified Personal Trainer and also work with small groups using the TRX Suspension Trainer. Featured in outlets such as Patriot Star, At Geist, and Fox News, I have a deep passion for writing and sharing my discoveries with all types of people.
Although my early experience and foundation is rooted in sports training, a new role carved itself out and I now train hundreds of general population clients at Geist Fitness in Indianapolis, Indiana. The most important thing I’ve learned in the field is that general population folks are far from being “general”. From weekend warriors to active older adults, everyone has different needs and everyone responds to stimuli in different ways. This is what I love about the health and fitness industry and I always consider this while writing.
Beyond health and fitness, I’m driven by one purpose in life: To help people realize their full potential and guide them through the process of reaching that potential. When I’m not at the gym or behind a computer, you can find me mentoring youth, biking, kayaking, or even brewing beer! I also manage my personal site and my company’s site.
The community of ConFITdent is knowledgeable and powerful—I’m pumped to help you guys and I can’t wait to read future posts from my amazing colleagues. If you ever have a question or comment, please reach out and I will always get back to you. -Jimmy
