Cole Fuller

NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach

As a student-athlete at Oberlin College, I competed at a high level in two NCAA Division III sports; track and field and soccer.

These experiences taught me first hand how the body of an athlete responds to stress and recovery with training.

As a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach, I design evidence-based strength, speed, and nutrition strategies that enhance performance while reducing injury risk.

My background in physical therapy settings further sharpens my ability to progress athletes safely from rehabilitation to high-level competition.

Growing up as an athlete, spending countless hours on the soccer field, I always knew I loved the athletic lifestyle. It wasn’t until a friend introduced me to the gym, I discovered my love for strength and wellness.

I design custom programs based on each individual’s goals—whether it’s building strength, improving endurance, or enhancing overall well-being. My focus is on sustainable progress and long-term success. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to overcome plateaus, I’m here to guide and support you in making lasting, positive changes.
