Joel Metzger

National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer
Major: Athletic Training, Exercise Science

I served in the United States Navy from 2007-2011. It was during that time that I developed an acute passion for physical fitness. As my knowledge grew, I found myself helping fellow shipmates. Upon getting an honorable discharge out of the service, my predisposition to become a personal trainer was top priority. I received my certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I am now a UT in a strong pursuit of a bachelor's in exercise science emphasizing athletic training. I am confident that I have the capability to train and get anyone to their specific goals with a constantly expanding, diversified knowledge of training techniques. I look forward to meeting you and am excited to guide you into your pursuit of excellence.
