CLIMB aims to not only provide educational and mentoring programs for our youth, but also to develop professionals by promoting good health and fitness within our community. Therefore, we have partnered with personal trainer Joe Gardina to advise and consult the company on health and fitness. In addition to providing more opportunities for professional development, this partnership will give focus to the mind, body, and soul.

Joe Gardina has been a personal trainer for approximately two years. He understands from personal experience the benefits of proper nutrition and exercise. Approximately a year ago, focusing on his personal health, Joe lost over 70 lbs!!! Whether your objective is to lose weight, get in shape for a special event, or improve your overall strength, Joe can put together a plan that will help you achieve your goal.

Joe Gardina works with clients, such as [CLIMB Founder] Ken Billups, to institute the necessary workout plan, diet, and disciplines that are essential for all professionals. The program is designed to help professionals achieve a healthy and active lifestyle. Healthy and well informed youth are essential ingredients of a productive community.
