Dawson Blades - Co-Owner and Founder

 

I am a 2022 graduate of Butler University where I studied Human Movement Health Science Education and minored in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. I have spent 2+ years as a personal trainer working with all age groups and all skill levels with goals such as weight loss, muscle gain, and improved quality of life both in person and online. Along with personal training, I have experience in strength and conditioning and have participated in sports my whole life. I have a passion for athletic training but am well educated in all training styles.

​

Currently, I hold a certification in personal training from the American Council on Exercise (ACE), one of the more prominent companies that help certify trainers along with working to get my nutrition certification from NASM. My knowledge base covers functional training, weight loss, HIIT training, basic strength training, and athletic/explosive training. Since I have a deep athletic background, I have centered my training around athletic movements because I believe that every person is an athlete. Whether you are 60 years old or 18 years old training for your sport, YOU ARE AN ATHLETE.

​

For me, training is more than just coming in and getting a great workout. Personal Training is a service that not only should focus on physical wellness through diet and exercise but also mental/emotional wellness. Being honest with you and doing whatever I can do to help you reach your goals are two key things I feel are unique about myself. I like to focus on building a strong relationship with my client while also still pushing my client so they reach their goals in the best and fastest way possible.

My goal with Legacy Barbell Club is to create a space for everyone and grow this into one of the best private gyms in the Indianapolis, IN area!
