Charles Gibson

I have been a fitness professional for over sixteen years. Wow that still amazes me! From time to time I am asked what do you do? My answer to that is. I inspire hope and change in others through fitness! You could say that is my mission, but it didn’t start that way.

I have always led a physically active lifestyle. I started out informally helping my friends and making suggestions to how they could get the most out of their workout and making sure they had proper form when working out. This led me to teaching Body Pump at Cal Fit, then kickboxing and spinning. Fast forward to two years later, and I am in Ft.Lauderdale completing my personal training certification with ISCA.

My clients have ranged from athletic teams, firefighters, corp executives, retiree’s and stay at home moms. I am in my fifth season as a track and field coach at New Albany High School. About seven years ago I was introduced to yoga which let me to Thai Yoga Massage. I have been studying and practicing Thai Yoga Massage for four plus years now. I went to Montreal to Lotus Palm to complete my essential certification after starting my studies here in Columbus. I have either led or assisted in 10 Thai Yoga Massage partner workshop in the past year. The workshops allow me to share this form of bodywork with the masses. My next steps are to complete the 3rd level of TYM certification this Summer in New York
