Freedom Aquatic & Fitness Center has developed an educated, passionate and motivated team of health and wellness professionals that will guide you on your journey to reaching your health goals.
Our Freedom Family EIM Team
Robin Frey, NASM-CPT
Fitness Manager | Clinical Exercise Specialist | EIM Project Manager
Robin is a NASM certified personal trainer and holds Clinical Exercise Specialist and ACSM Exercise is Medicine Specialist certifications. Additional education and certification are FMS (Functional Movement Screening Specialist), TRX, Lifestyle Diabetes Health Coach, and several group exercise certifications.
In addition, Robin oversees the operations, programming, and staff of the Freedom Center fitness department and personal trainers.
Her focus is to bring awareness and education to the premise that physical inactivity and lack of physical fitness are strong independent risk factors for many chronic conditions and diseases. There is no other single health prescription that has the potential to achieve positive health outcomes than the critical role of exercise. From a very ancient but profound perspective from Sir Isaac Newton 1687, “A body at rest stays tends to stay at rest. A body in motion stays in motion.”

You have one life to live, start with what you CAN control and change. A healthy body makes you happier in all aspects of life. “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” -World Health Organization.
