Jimmy Agudelo is a NASM certified personal trainer (CPT) with 10 years of experience working with individuals of all ages and fitness levels. Two weeks after he obtained his personal training certification at 19, he landed a job as a personal trainer at a private gym in Morris Plains. He consistently trained clients back-to-back at this training studio while completing his Bachelor's in Exercise Science (2 years at County College of Morris then transfered to East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania). While at ESU, Jimmy would study on campus during the week and then come home (NJ) to train clients on weekends. Jimmy also worked as a personal trainer at the recreational center on campus while in school, as well as completed a 4-month internship during his senior year at a private physical therapy practice in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.
After graduating, Jimmy continued working at the same private gym for a year until a new opportunity in corporate fitness arose. Jimmy began working as an exercise specialist for Optum, an on-site services company which provides resources for corporate fitness centers. At this company, Jimmy was responsible for teaching large group fitness classes, as well as 1-on-1 personal training sessions. While working for Optum, Jimmy obtained two training certifications/specializations: NASM- Corrective Exercise Specialist and FMS- Functional Movement Screen Lvl 1.
All throughout this time, Jimmy's main goal was to obtain enough in-home clients on the side to be able to step away from the forementioned job positions and start his own personal training business. In the beginning of 2020, Jimmy was able to fulfill his goal in starting his personal training business, and is now the driving force behind Step by Step Personal Training. Since starting his own business, Jimmy has presented opportunities for clients to get their sessions in online through virtual training if preferred. Jimmy has used Instagram to promote his business, and had even teamed up with the massively popular company GymShark to teach an online workout on their official Facebook Live profile! Jimmy is also the creator of the "2020 Squat Challenge;" a fitness challenge (with 60+ participants) that he personally created and marketed online at the start of the year for 2020.
Step by Step Personal Training is an in-home personal training business based out of Morris County, New Jersey with additional services in online workout programming.
