About Agilis Fitness
Actually, 'About Us' is really 'About Me', Isaac Chenevey .
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology (Kineseology) with an emphasis in Psychology and Physical Theater.
I am a Certified CHEK Exercise Coach and an ACE-certified Personal Trainer (American Council on Exercise).
Currently, I am an Assistant Tai Chi/Qigong Instructor at the Lau Kune Do Temple of Martial Arts in Long Beach, CA. I have studied yoga, kung fu and aikido at various degrees since 1989. My yoga teaching experience has been in a group gym setting and I have been instructing one-on-one yoga for the past three years.
As a CHEK Exercise Coach, my practice has an emphasis on thorough assessments, corrective exercise, postural alignment and post-rehabilitation techniques for the low back and core. The philosophy is to work from the deepest internal core strength and progress to power out through the extremeties! My studying at the CHEK Institute is a week long, 40 hour, hands-on intensive training with 20 other professionals which included fitness trainers, chiropractors, physical therapists and massage therapists from all over the world. This is not your typical personal trainer certification which usually entails reading the fitness organization's personal trainer book and taking a multiple choice exam in a room with 300+ trainers.

About Isaac Chenevey.....
Additionally:
I have worked in both gym and physical therapy clinic facilities.
I have worked as a health educator for a non-profit public health agency.
I specialize in corrective exercise, funtional training methods, balance and agility.
My own fitness interests include: running, strength training at El Dorado Park, kung fu/tai chi/qigong classes, private tai chi lessons, High Sierra backpacking, rock hopping, surfing, 'extreme jogging' (which entails jumping over fire hydrants, running along retaining walls, jumping over public benches, sprinting stairs and generally turning any obstacle on the course into a 'workable item') and of course, yoga.
On a personal note: I love escaping into movies of most genres, I read the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times weekly, I spend quality time on the weekends with my girlfriend, I am re-learning music composition (guitar, piano and banjo), I am learning the Portugese language and I have a few writing projects on the back-burner. The zen and zest of life!
