The "Baby Boomer Fitness Expert" Nominated for Second Personal Trainer of the Year Award
(PRWeb) December 7, 2006 -- 2003 ACE Personal Trainer of the Year award winner, Stephen Holt, has just been nominated for the 2007 IDEA Personal Trainer of the Year award.
In the words of IDEA, "This influential honor recognizes the individual whose outstanding leadership, business management, motivational and instructional skills are exemplary in addition to inspiring others to achieve greater personal growth and a higher level of fitness."
Holt's contributions to the fitness industry include serving on the Governor's Advisory Board on Physical Fitness, the Clinical Advisory Board of the American Running Association, and the Board of Directors of the International Youth Conditioning Association.
Most important, Stephen is one of the Item Writers for the Personal Trainer National Board Exam. He specialized in covering Ethics, Safety and Legal Issues. He also helped create codify the stringent criteria by which fitness certification organizations can insure comprehensive education for their personal trainers.
Holt, a mechanical engineering graduate from Duke University, believes, "Understanding mechanics is vital to understanding how the body works and how it responds to exercise."
This engineering knowledge has made him a nationally respected expert on the application of scientific principles to personal fitness training. He has shared this knowledge with fellow fitness professionals by presenting at numerous national conventions.
His advice has also appeared in all the top fitness magazines including Shape, Fitness, Men's Fitness, Health, and Men's Health. He's even been in the decidedly non-fitness oriented Family Circle, Woman's Day, and even Success.
In an industry in which the average client stays with the average trainer for only 4.3 weeks, Stephen's current clients have been with him an average of over four years.
"Exercise is a process, not a program," says Holt. "Exercise is life-long and a personal trainer is not just a short-term solution. As long as I continue to learn and grow, there are always additional benefits I can bring to my clients. That's why they stay."
Holt's was acknowledged by the Internet's largest advice site, AllExperts.com, as the "Expert of the Year" in 1999. He was also a 3-time Finalist for Personal Trainer of the Year with the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
Stephen is considered a front-runner for the IDEA Personal Trainer of the Year award to be presented at the IDEA World Fitness Convention July 6-9, 2007 in San Diego.
