Are You Ready to Make a Change?

FOR GOOD

Meet Your Trainer

My name is Justin Merriman, and I am the owner of FitLyfe llc.

I have been in the industry, professionally, for over 7 years now.

Since graduating with my Bachelors of Clinical Exercise Science (2016) from Grand Valley State University, I have worked with people from all different walks of life - from college athletes to extremely busy executive employees.

I spent 3.5 years after college living in Hawaii, loving life, & building my business. Now since I moved back to Michigan, I'm at a point where I have the ability to not only do personal training in-person, but also remotely.

The services I offer give me a versatile way of impacting as many lives as possible, no matter the distance between us.

Of the hundreds of lives changed, it all started with a simple decision to seek more out of one's self. Once we take action, results are the only option. You will get to your destination, & learn the process along the way.

The goal is to suit you up with all the tools & skills necessary for you to live a FIT LYFE.

If you want a trainer that will really come through for you in every way he can, Justin is your man! I really enjoyed having him as my coach. He went above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed with my workouts and diet. He assembled my meal plan, gave me food ideas, made sure I was comfortable with the workouts, gave me a clear and detailed plan for weekly workouts, pushed me when I needed it, and always got back with me quickly when I did have questions. A very genuine guy!

Justin has a wonderful personality and a passion for helping others be successful in reaching their goals! When you spend time with Justin you are never rushed or made to feel like your questions are not valid. His undivided attention to details during a workout, planning a nutrition layout or remembering something you have shared goes above and beyond. With Justin coaching me along the way I have gained more confidence in my ability to move more, eat to correctly fuel my body and make decisions for long term health. Justin makes you feel like part of his family and wants to see you flourish well into the future!

I have really enjoyed and benefitted from Justin’s training expertise, commitment and focus. He is always very prepared and enthusiastic. From the onset, my workout partner and I noticed how knowledgeable he was about muscle groups, workout form and technique. He’s always positive and responsive. He seeks input regularly and adapts as appropriate, offering modifications to ensure that our workouts are safe and productive. Because we’ve been training with Justin virtually, he is called upon to be creative and make use of smaller spaces and limited equipment. I can’t think of a time we’ve done the same routine twice. He always mixes things up to keep the workouts engaging and interesting. Justin brings his mind and his heart to his clients and to his work and because of that he’s been great trainer for me, whom I highly recommend.

Janis R.
Justin has been amazing to work with. He helps keep me motivated, and I have a high level of trust in him. I would recommend him to anyone – either new to working out, or if you are experienced.

Peter L.
Justin puts the "P" back in "Personal training": he is Perceptive, Pleasant, and Positive! I'm a fit and active sixty-something, and I've had several personal trainers over the past 20 years. My goal is to keep my body ready for outdoor activities I love, like hiking and paddleboarding. Justin stands out for his knowledge about the body and how it works. I'm never bored during our sessions! We work out virtually and I have limited equipment, e.g. water bottles for weights, and a couple of exercise bands. But he is so creative! He keeps every workout fresh by adding new moves and changing the pace. He always corrects my form in a very positive way. Some days we focus on strength training, other times he emphasizes cardio, or balance. Of all the trainers I've had over the years, Justin excels at asking for feedback, observing my progress, and then designing custom workouts to build up my fitness level. I highly recommend him to clients of all ages.

Dana K.
Justin is the best. I totally hate to exercise (like really abhor it), but he somehow makes it tolerable so I can commit to working out and living a healthier life. He is an extreme professional with knowledge that extends well beyond personal training expertise. Justin is more like a trainer, nutritionist, friend, and life coach combined into one person. He is passionate about his line of work and genuinely cares about the people he works with. Highly recommend.

Christine H.
I highly recommend Justin as a personal trainer – he’s incredibly positive, knowledgeable, and a great motivator. He takes the time to listen and explain things in ways that makes sense to you. He pushed me to work hard, even on those days when I didn’t feel like it. And best of all, he cares about helping you to achieve better health. Thanks Justin!
