Your Personal Trainer in Athens, GA
Justin Carter has been training clients in the Athens area for 20 years. He is certified by the American Council on Exercise (ACE), and his career in the healthcare industry gives Justin an edge when it comes to understanding the human body and how exercise affects it in terms of muscle growth, energy, and more. This approach makes Justin the ideal trainer for anyone who not only wants to get in shape, but who wants to learn how to develop (and stick to) an optimal routine for lifelong health.

At 51 years old I am stronger and more physically fit than I have ever been. Coach Carter tailored a workout program based on my personal fitness goals. I wanted a workout routine that was challenging, offered variety, incorporated techniques to help avoid injury, and offers techniques for maximizing the benefit of each workout and Coach Carter's program offers that to me.
Kara RhodesDecember 31, 2020.Justin Carter is amazing. For about 5 months I worked out with him 3 days a week and lost just over 25 pounds safely and effectively. We ran, lifted, and worked on form/technique. He’s the sweetest and allowed me to develop a good relationship with the gym. I looked forward to every work out with him.
