I have been in and out of the fitness scene for the better part of 10 years. Slowly, it became a part of life, and every day, I found myself at the gym during my lunch break. I realized how much better I felt about myself in every way after my workouts. I started working on my degree with Lionel University [and] I graduated with my Associate of Science in Exercise Science as well as 6 additional certifications. I chose Lionel because it allowed me to be flexible with my studies. When I started, I was working a full-time job, while raising two kids with my husband, & maintaining a household! Lionel's staff has gone above and beyond from the initial contact all the way through my graduation.
Where do I start? I can never say enough about Lionel. The education I am receiving, the staff, the resources to help us succeed are outstanding! I thought I had a handle on fitness and nutrition, and it wasn't until I enrolled in the Associates Degree Program to realize I had some bad habits which I quickly rectified and it shows in my training. I live in Iceland in a small town and some other trainers asked me what am I doing, so I Let them know about Lionel. I also let them know that two trainers who have created Bootcamp Reykjavik also enrolled in a few certifications at Lionel and now Lionel will have a few more students. Lionel is where you should be. Thank you for everything!
The education and experience at Lionel University has been absolutely amazing. The courses truly challenged me, the instructors provided constructive and timely feedback and the interaction with other students was enlightening and fun.

I currently serve on active duty in the United States Marine Corps. I originally began my journey with Lionel U pursuing the Master Trainer certificate. Upon completion, I decided to continue my education and earned my associates in exercise science through Lionel University. Now I instruct at the Force Fitness Readiness Center where we train new Force Fitness Instructors for the Marine Corps. I couldn’t have done it without Lionel University.
My experience with Lionel University has been life changing in the best way. Not only have I learned so many new skills, but my resume is quite long due to all of the Special Certifications I have received. I was recently contacted by another “women-only” trainer with her own business who was looking to expand. She almost immediately offered me a job as her first hire, almost sight-unseen! Now, I work at two gyms and can offer training to different types of populations. I have no doubt my educational qualifications had something to do with the ease of which I have been able to stay successful in this rapidly emerging profession.

I'm so grateful to Lionel U for my Associate Degree in Exercise Science. I am the Gym Manager, Strength & Conditioning Coach and CrossFit Instructor at Derby City MMA & Derby City Barbell in Louisville, Kentucky. I transitioned very easily into the coaching role because Lionel U prepared me so well. I used to dread getting up and going to my boring office job which I did for 19 years, now I wake up and can't wait to get to the gym. It's not like a job, it’s fun and I love it. Thank you Lionel University for helping me turn my professional career into something I love.

I am beyond thrilled to have been awarded the Fredrick C. Hatfield Scholarship! Being a fitness model/influencer, I have made it my goal to spread my passion for fitness with others in hopes that it can help the lives of many in the ways that it did mine. Living with Anxiety was a constant battle growing up until I made the choice to start going to the gym. In no time, the gym became my therapy. I have improved both mentally and physically in ways that I never thought possible. I am determined to use my past experiences as well as my new-found education as a guide to helping those who have the drive to improve their overall wellbeing.
