Meet Corey Klitzke
- Out of which Elite locations do you conduct training?
I am a Senior Personal Trainer at Elite Sports Club-Brookfield.
- How long have you been a personal trainer and how long have you worked at Elite?
- What made you want to start working as a personal trainer and/or for Elite?
- What is your favorite part about being a personal trainer?
Helping people create and refine goals that they will then accomplish. I also really like teaching new movements and exercises to people and watching them eventually excel at them.
- What areas of exercise/fitness do you consider to be your specialty?
Strength and conditioning, Olympic weight lifting, and general resistance training. I’m really analytical, so designing workouts and programs is also a strength of mine.
- What has been your biggest personal struggle with health/fitness?
My posture and mobility have never been as good as I have wanted. I’ve made small improvements here and there, but it is an area I definitely need to focus on more.
- What has been your biggest personal accomplishment with health/fitness?
For a long time I wanted to be able to back squat twice my body weight. After focusing more of my attention on squatting for a period of time, I was able to do it. It wasn’t the prettiest rep, but the time I spent preparing paid off.
- What advice do you give people who are starting a workout program for the first time or after a long absence?
- What advice do you give people who are struggling to make health/fitness a priority or are getting bored/burned out?
The gym/fitness center is a playground of equipment. If things are getting boring or stale, try something new. Maybe try using free weights instead of machines or vice versa for a bit. Maybe try a different form of cardio. Maybe try out an exercise class you wouldn’t normally consider. Sometimes the solution is to take a small break and reevaluate or create some new goals. There is nothing wrong with taking a small break to let your body and mind heal and reset.
- What personal advice do you give someone who is looking to get to a healthier point in their life in general?
Goal setting and consistency are both very important. Sometimes tiny routine changes can make a huge difference. Being healthy isn’t just about physical health. Take some time to care for mental and emotional health as well.
