Nea S. Wheeler, PhD
NPTI Certified Personal Trainer
Nea has always been intensely interested in longevity with high quality of life. This lifelong passion, which has kept her weight and energy level stable for three decades, has recently ignited a career change. Her 19 years as a chemist and her doctoral studies in chemistry laid a firm scientific foundation for her study of fitness training. She received her training at National Personal Training Institute (NPTI) in Falls Church, Virginia, from which she received high marks and her diploma in personal training and basic nutrition in 2006. Since that time, she has been training clients with a wide range of physical abilities and goals.
Nea has a gift for motivating people of all ages to reach for and achieve their fitness dreams. The approach she uses for each individual depends on his/her fitness goals, both long term and short term. While some people may benefit from the liberal use of exercise machines, others may find a different exercise protocol more suitable. For this reason, she also trains clients using free weights and other tools to achieve their desired fitness goals. As she sees it, workouts should be interesting, fun, and effective.
In short, Nea is never happier than when she is inspiring and teaching someone to perform his/her own “fitness makeover”!
