Meet our Personal Trainer
John L. Bennett
John's interest in physical fitness began while he was in the Army as a Military Police Officer. After leaving the military service he attended Midwestern University in Wichita Falls, TX and obtained a Bachelor of Science in Health, Physical Education and Recreation. After coaching in Graham, TX for a few years, John landed in the Ozarks. Since then he has worked hard to continually educate and train himself in the physical fitness arena.

In 2002, at Big Cedar Lodge, he met Dan Issacson who has personally trained Billy Crystal, Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise. John and Dan immediately developed a friendship and Dan recommended that John take his background and passion for physical fitness to another level by studying to obtain his certification as a Personal Trainer.

In 2003, John did just that and began studying to obtain his certification as an NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer® (NSCA-CPT®) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association Certification Commission. John is now certified as holding the first nationally accredited personal fitness training credential.
