312. Greg Mack | Exercise Professional Education

As Founder and CEO of Exercise Professional Education, Greg’s vision for Physicians Fitness was shaped over 29 years ago, while he was working as a lay assistant to physicians in a sports medicine clinic. It was during this tenure that he became award of an  unfortunate reality: Most of the patients of the clinic were there as a result of poor physical conditioning. He observed that the patient base consisted of individuals who would return to the clinic for treatment of re-injury to a problem area, or the development of new symptoms, possibly due to compensation patterns created by the original pathophysiology. The medical and chiropractic staff encouraged these patients to participate in exercise and fitness programs, but had neither the time nor the resources to effectively assess, develop, and implement a safe, global health-fitness plan. Greg’s involvement in the fitness industry includes authoring articles for fitness and medical publications, presenting relevant topics to fitness professionals at continuing education conferences, and achieving the “Master Level” designation as a personal fitness professional from IDEA. Greg received the IDEA International Personal Trainer of the Year Award for the year 2003 and was the Chairman of the IDEA Personal Trainer Committee, an influential body steering important issues related to fitness professionals.
