“As an outdoor personal trainer, I need to be so much more innovative and creative with my surroundings,” says Jed Miller, owner of Level 9 Personal Training. “We don’t go heavy out there. I have learned from my experience that it is much safer to use your own body weight, rather than bulky gym weights, and yet still produce the results that my clients want.”
Upon graduating high school, Miller joined the army—an experience, he says, that helped his understanding of how people can accomplish great feats as a team. “When people share common goals and realize they don’t have to do it alone, they work harder and stay focused,” explains Miller, who has taken his military lessons and has applied them to his fitness training. “My clients naturally push and feed off one another and celebrate their accomplishments together.”
Having moved to Long Beach just this past year, Miller says he’s quickly fallen in love with the city. “The people in Long Beach have been very warm and welcoming to me. I feel like I was absorbed into this city like a sponge,” he says. His desire is to begin expanding into more areas in the city: “I am looking forward to 2010. I feel the responsibility to bring health and fitness to people that might not typically have the opportunity to be educated and experience fitness at little to no cost.” SCOTT JONES
