Celester DeGroat
EMAIL:Â celesterdegroat73@gmail.com
AVAILABLE HOURS: Mon/Wed: 5–7 AM, Sat 4–6 PM, Sun 3–5 PM
EXPERIENCE: Celester grew up in Compton, California and has been a life-long athlete and into fitness since a young age. His passion for fitness comes from his father, who worked out every single day into his 80’s and spent countless hours teaching Celester the in’s and out’s of fitness while he was growing up.
PHILOSOPHY: The master fitness guru and inspirer, Celester, has over four years’ experience as a professional personal trainer, but has spent many more years training his friends, acquaintances and even complete strangers for free. Why? Because he has a passion for helping people feel better and look better. He knows that your physical health helps your mental health, and both are important. The same people he trained for free convinced him to make a career out of his passion because of the results they were seeing in their own health and fitness journey. Since then, he has obtained certifications as a master fitness trainer, a cancer recovery specialist, fitness nutrition, and in resistance and endurance. Oh, and he’s CPR/AED certified (just in case)!
When he’s not working out or personal training, you can find Celester spending time with his fiancé, family and friends, playing basketball, watching sports, shopping for the latest fashion trends, researching health and wellness, reading, traveling, teaching his grandkids workout routines, and enjoying a good cheat meal!
