Hello, my name is Blaze Winterstein and I'm honored to be apart of the Fitness For Life Staff. I graduated with my Bachelors in Exercise Science at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and working towards my Masters in Physical Therapy. I believe this is the perfect career path for me because it allows me to help others' lives and well-being while being active and involved through fitness and nutrition. FITNESS FOR LIFE is the perfect slogan for my life because it's what I grew up around and have loved ever since I was young. I believe my love for fitness came to fruition because my father owned and operated a gym for 25 years and that's where I spent the majority of my time. For me it has always been intriguing to learn new and improved ways of fitness and well-being. Henry Ford once said, "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether twenty or eighty," which works perfectly for fitness because if you're not learning something new on how to improve and modify your body and lifestyle then your mind and body will become complacent.
