Roxanne Casinio, Clarke Personal Trainer
casin002@cougars.csusm.edu
Experience
Roxanne has 10 years of experience in fitness equipment and aerobics classes. She played 4 years of high school basketball and 2 years in college.
Goals
Roxanne wants to be able to educate, make a difference and become a positive role model. She wants to be able to change beliefs about exercise and nutrition and have people leave with more knowledge than when they started.
Philosophy
"Exercise should be something that people want to do, not something they have to do. In order for people to think more positively about exercise, they should be exposed to various routines and should not be limited to traditional gym routines. Various routines should be enjoyable, engaging, and challenging."
Geoffrey Landry, Clarke Personal Trainer

Experience
"Since the age of two when my dad introduced me to a bat and ball, I have been playing baseball. I am currently training with the team at Cal State San Marcos and hope to be playing in the 2011 season. I also played football in high school and understand the physical strain sports can place on the body and how important it is to keep it strong and balanced. I have had my share of injuries and have experienced many different forms of physical therapy and personal training."
Goals
Geoffrey is working on his degree in Kinesiology and plans to attend graduate school to get his Masters in Physical Therapy. He then hopes to work in a clinic or start his own physical therapy business. He also plans on getting a Doctorate at some point in the future.
Philosophy
"Exercise is to gain strength physically and mentally. Gaining strength physically is the easy part. Lifting, building muscle, endurance, and strength all come naturally. The hard part is motivating oneself to get in the gym. Exercise not only strengthens the body but also strengthens the mind."

Experience
Kayli has had one-on-one training with certified trainers. She competed in gymnastics and power tumbling for three years and was a competitive cheerleader for 8 years with the California Allstars in San Marcos. She competed on one of the top teams in the gym, "Elite."
Goals
"My goal is to work with people who are committed to improving themselves, both physically and mentally. I will lead them in an effective program of exercise. In addition, after getting a dietician's license, I will help them plan a healthy diet."
Philosophy
"I believe that it's important for people to live health lifestyles, so that they can live longer and better lives. In order to do that, good nutrition and regular exercise are critical. Good nutrition has a positive effect on weight and health. Regular exercise gives you energy, relieves stress, and improves your self-concept."

The experience Weston had with his Physical Therapist has inspired him to enter the fitness industry. Weston is currently a CSUSM student athlete on the Men's Cross Country and Track teams.

Exercise Philosophy
"My philosophy is the more you work the more you benefit. If a person can physically as well as mentally work diligently in the proper direction with my assistance, then they are only going to improve their fitness level. Another philosophy is that there is no such thing as failure. Any amount of improvement is worth celebrating.
