Bio

“All problems have a solution…ask the right questions, seek the true solution, take your first step, you can succeed.”


Improving people’s health and utilizing MOVEMENT AS MEDICINE has been my life’s passion for the past 12 years. As a corrective exercise specialist, medical exercise specialist, strength and conditioning coach, and fitness professional, I have coached, guided, and educated hundreds of people on ways to improve health, heal injuries, and enhance the way we feel daily while being specific to each person’s individual goals and lifestyles.


While the path to a better YOU may seem overwhelming and difficult to begin and navigate, I have witnessed people overcome immense obstacles, break free from emotional and physical “prisons” of injury, sickness, tragedy, or past failures, and ACHIEVE RESULTS of a renewed mindset, passion for life, and functional body that allows for freedom to live without limits.


Are you ready for a life with no limits? If so, I want the opportunity to work with you! Email me: trevorwicken@gmail.com

    Also when working on my resistance and logging on my sharecare fitness site, wonder if I should incorporate my cardio, resistance, aerobic and stretches as circuit training with short rests and aerobic. I also do my stretches and crunches (assume they are listed as anaerobic). If I do it all, its 10 minutes fast walking to and from the gym, 10 minutes cycle and 5 minutes eliptical. About 30 minutes weight training (chest presses, and cable) with plank, bridge, and other core exercises, then about 20 minutes of streches, some yoga types of streches .

    I have got my weight down to about 128 pounds, maybe a bit less, since joining Sharecare. I will be 70 years old in June. I have been doing a number of exercises since joining a gym this past year, and am now using the cycle and the eliptical. I have asthma that is usually well maintained with meds, and arthritis that is not too bad since losing weight. I do a number of squats with my exercises and recently found I can do a shoulder stand now. However, notice recently that when my heart rate is up to 135 , I can not maintain it for more than a couple of minutes and then need to stop and get my breath back and stop feeling overwhelmed. Even my asthma seems to be affected. I am beginning to think that it would make more sense to spend 20 minutes on the cycle at a lower level, rather than pushing myself for 10 minutes. The eliptical is taking time, but it is improving from 2- 3 minutes to over 5 minutes now. Goal is to get 15 minutes on the eliptical.
