“After I served in the Air Force, I got more serious about my health. I began to see positive changes from a more serious workout routine,” he said. “Ultimately, I discovered I loved all aspects of fitness and I pursued it as a career.”
Prophett has worked as a personal trainer for the past two years. Designing workouts for clients and teaching them, he has successfully trained about 30 regular clients. All of Prophett’s clients started at various ages and levels of fitness.
“It’s very rewarding to introduce people to fitness and help them realize their potential,” he said. “Fitness changed my life; I wouldn’t have made it to where I am now without it. I want people to know that their goals are possible.”
Prophett looks forward to helping increase staff’s knowledge on fitness and working with the military community.
“I’m excited to apply my knowledge and skills here. I miss the comradery of the military and I am looking forward to working with both military and civilians here,” he continued. “The people here are great and whether I am working with active military, retirees or civilians I feel that comradery here.”
