Colleen Riddle, ACE Certified Personal Trainer

Colleen has been an avid exercise enthusiast her entire life. She grew up as a competitive swimmer and learned early on how good it felt to set goals, work hard and achieve them. She reached her ultimate swimming goal of getting a scholarship to FSU. Go Noles! Colleen’s passion for fitness fits perfectly with her career of helping others reach their inner potential. Whether it is losing weight, creating an overall healthy lifestyle, or improving skills as a competitive athlete, she thrives on helping others accomplish their fitness goals. Colleen is also a certified Pre/Post Natal exercise specialist. This certification provides her with advanced skills and knowledge specific to fitness routines for women before, during and after pregnancy. Colleen safely guides clients through personalized exercises designed to reduce stress and anxiety while increasing energy. Some of the benefits for pre/post natal clients include fewer complications during pregnancy, shorter labor time and quicker recovery after birth.

After seeing so many women struggle with their weight after pregnancy, Colleen wanted to find a solution to help new moms. She wanted to provide a complete, realistic, and healthy system that women could easily follow from beginning to end and achieve success. This is why she created the New Mommy Makeover post natal weight loss system (www.NewMommyMakeover.com)

John Riddle, ACSM Certified Personal Trainer and USA Cycling Coach

After feeling sluggish all the time and not liking what he saw in the mirror, John knew it was time for some changes to his lifestyle. He started working out, watching what he ate, and began cycling. With consistent hard work, John lost 33 pounds, has more energy, and most importantly has his health back! Going through this journey helped John decide to change careers and become a personal trainer. He enjoys sharing what he has learned about fitness, nutrition, and cycling with others. John also understands the emotional aspects of trying to lose weight which helps him relate to his clients. In addition to his American College of Sports Medicine personal training certification, John is also a certified USA cycling coach. He is the only certified cycling coach from Pensacola to Tallahassee and thrilled to be able to offer this unique service to area clients. When they’re not training clients or working out themselves the Riddles enjoy cycling, going to the beach, relaxing with friends and spending time with their cat, Dixie.
