Gordan Rock

personal trainer

Gordon began his fitness journey in 1989 when he joined the Air Force to become a firefighter. Physical demands were high, to say the least. While there was a weight room and a few pieces of cardio equipment, there was no one truly knowledgeable about proper form, much less designing a real training program. Overuse injuries were commonplace. Left to his own devices,he read every fitness book that was available, gaining a good foundation of knowledge. While stationed in Italy, he became an avid cyclist. Leaving the military for civilian life, he settled in South Carolina where he continued his athletic endeavors in running, paddling, and mountain bike racing. On a day trip to Wilmington, he discovered surfing and knew that this was the place for him! He moved here in 2004, obtained his Coastal and surf kayaking instructor certification, becoming aninstructor and tour guide,. In 2010 stand up paddling piqued his interest. He took a lot of clinics and private lessons, leading to racing and SUP surfing, which he fell in love with! The quest for land based cross training led him to the kettlebell and into the gym. He continued his educational journey and became a Certified Personal Trainer, and Corrective Exercise Specialist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. After years of training and practice, Gordon became a Russian Kettlebell Challenge certified instructor. Over the years he has found that a person doesn’t need to train harder to succeed, they need to train smarter. As 50 is now upon him, Gordon has learned to prioritize smart programming, and strategically placed, functional movements that are applicable to everyday life. A motto he goes by is, ‘A workout should give you more than it takes out of you’. Less wasted time in the gym, means more time for family and hobbies. That leads us to today, where at Rising Tide Fitness, he trains people of all abilities with a wide variety of goals, whether it be to lose a few pounds, find a life balance between work/family and health, or more lofty goals that require a larger commitment.
