Robert Linkul is the head personal trainer and the owner of Be STRONGER Fitness in Sacramento, CA, and specializes in training for older adults. Robert has his masters degree in personal training from the United State Sports Academy (University of Alabama) and a bachelors degree in kinesiology from California State University of Sacramento. He was named the NSCA’s 2012 Personal Trainer of the year and Robert serves as the chairman for the NSCA’s personal trainer special interest group and is the career development columnist for the NSCA’s personal training quarterly publication.

Robert has also earned a Master Sandbag Instructors Certification from Alpha Strong and is a CPT and CSCS exam preparation symposium instructor for the NSCA. Robert has been in the personal training industry since 1999 and has developed a semi-private group training style that few in the industry have mastered.

* The danger of training exclusively for performance
* Identifying a training purpose
* Why he doesn’t call assessments “assessments” to clients
