Russell Jones Bio
Hello my name is Russell Jones.
Master-Level Health & Fitness Coach, Master-Level Rehabilitative Fitness Trainer, Professional Strength Athlete, ARPwave Strength Trainer for Accelerated Healing from Injury, Motivational Speaker, Author, Health & Wellness Columnist & Educator.
I coach Humans of all ages… & help fix them if they’re hurt…
Russell certainly didn't start his foray toward a healthy lifestyle by choice but in response to a series of health problems & injuries. What he has discovered can help anyone get on the road to a Better Life.
He humbly learned from both experts and his own successes and failures and now shares his deep experience on what has worked well. To weather any storms, Russell came up with anchor points and he will spark you to identify your own anchors. The cumulative effect of life-giving habits is truly awesome.
The Light at the End of the Tunnel
Isn't a Train Coming at You
Through his own trials and tribulations he's learned techniques for equipping people to make wise decisions regarding their overall health & well being. With his entertaining Health & Fitness Events and Top Secrets of Success... 4Kids book, Russell's goal is to encourage others to expand their mindset of what is possible.
Not Just a Strong Man
On the surface, you'd think Russell gets his energy from his lifelong commitment to becoming a world-class strength athlete. But, what primarily fuels him is stories of overcoming adversity, witnessing children have a positive impact on others and discovering how his actions have motivated change. Russell sees life as an adventure to experience and strives to find all the ways he can protect and care for those he loves. While the power demonstrations may entertain and WOW, his witty stories will likely cause you to laugh, cry, and be kick-started into new perspective.
