Exercise Specialist
Noah St. John brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his work as an integrative exercise specialist. Noah earned his bachelor's degree in exercise science from Penn State University and his master's degree in clinical and sport nutrition at Florida State University. Noah is also a registered dietitian, which makes his contribution to the integrative care team even more valuable.
St. John has worked extensively with a variety of populations, from elite athletes to the elderly and disabled. Highlights include extensive strength and conditioning work with Penn State athletes, as well as three years of professional personal training in both Florida and North Carolina, during which he provided teaching, motivation, and assistance to clients wishing to lose significant weight and increase fitness. He also spent two years providing personal training support for an academic research project investigating the effects of resistance training on chronic pain and fatigue associated with fibromyalgia.
St. John believes that, while exercise and the prescription of exercise is largely mechanical in dealing with the body, understanding the complexities of motivation, emotion, and spirit are critical in order to achieving optimal health.
