Welcome to TrainerTroySmith.com
Troy Smith is a health and fitness expert that has a great passion for affecting change through education, motivation, and inspiration. He knows that EVERYBODY has the potential to reach a maximum state of fitness if willing to learn and apply his concepts. Troy strongly believes that, like a chain, "you are only as strong as your weakest link." Whether it be your nutrition, exercise format or level of quality, or even your mental focus and beliefs, the greatest results will be achieved by addressing the areas which are the most lacking. Troy loves to inspire his clients, teach efficiency in every area of fitness, and challenge them beyond what they think they can do. Building momentum and learning how to get MORE RESULTS with less perceived effort ("Quality versus Quantity!") is one of the great values of training with an experienced, knowledgable trainer.
Troy began his career working as a trainer and an APEX nutrition counselor as he finished his degree in Biology. People naturally gravitated towards Troy's energy in the gym, and he found himself working as a trainer before he was "working" as a trainer. His nutrition clients were coming off their high blood pressure and cholesterol medications. Clients were fitting into clothes they thought they would have to throw out, and people were getting stronger on every level. That is when Troy realized he can affect more change as a trainer and nutrition counselor than if he continued his pursuit of medical school. Troy certified through the National Council on Strength & Fitness (NCSF) and interned with RKC-kettlebell expert, Arturas Kolgovas. Troy has trained in many gyms and fitness facilities in Chicago and now provides his services at State of Fitness and the greater Lansing, MI area. He has qualified as an NPC national level bodybuilder and helps other competitors prepare with contest prep. His goal is to teach his concepts to as many individuals seeking direction as possible and to train other trainers and fitness professionals.
