Bio

Hello, my name is Ken Cutcher and I am a trainer at Anytime Fitness in Huron, OH.  I have been training clients for the past 5 years now. I have helped busy moms and professionals, high school and college athletes, and numerous weight loss clients.  I am a Certified Personal Trainer through the prestigous National Academy of Sports Medicine and have my Associate of Science from Bowling Green State University.  I am a trainer for the local F.I.T. Challenge featured in the Sandusky Register and the Norwalk Reflector.  I live in Norwalk, OH with my beautiful wife Joan and we enjoy mountain biking and camping together.  Most recently I have joined Sharecare as an Elite Trainer and I look forward to motivating and inspiring people online as well as in person.
