Meet our NEW Coaches in Development!

Mike Collette • August 23, 2022

At Prototype, we take pride in our Coach Development Program and are very fortunate to have some of the best Coaches and Trainers in the area working right out of our facility. Several months ago, we started our Young Coaches Program, were we offered internships to high schoolers who wanted to pursue the field of Strength and Conditioning. Over the summer, we had 3 Young Coaches go through that program to develop a sense of the fitness industry. Prior to the YCP, we have grown several coaches through our community at Prototype and rarely hired externally.

Culturally, it’s important to us that our team members at Prototype check several boxes for us, but the biggest is caring deeply to improve self and to improve others. To that end, we are excited about 2 of our newest coaches going through our CDP (Coach Development Program).

“I am a certified personal trainer, life coach, as well as continuing education for Nutrition Coaching. While growing up I was not your typical athlete, through personal experience through the years I have found that upkeeping a fitness regimen is the most important part to mental strength. I began training with my fiance who is an athlete of 20+ years, and in doing so realized that I also wanted to help individuals with their fitness journey. My passion is to assist others in learning how to take back their life by growing their confidence with leading a healthy and fit lifestyle.

Outside of Prototype I spend the majority of time with my fiance and my two dogs, Tiger and Loki. I enjoy drawing and painting, as well as am continuing my education with additional classes in physical training and nutrition.”

Mark has been an amazing member, friend, and a huge part of our community for over 10 years. With his family now training at Prototype as well, he continues to share his journey and inspire others. Thank you for being you, Mark—you truly deserve to be our October POM! 1.) Share your experience at Prototype My experience at Prototype is now, and always has been over the last decade plus, incredibly positive! What’s made it even more special over the recent years is my family now being part of the community, and being positively impacted by the environment that Prototype creates. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? The community, the relationships, and the positive impact Prototype has had on me and my family over the years. Some of my best friends are now at Prototype. Relationships that have been developed over years of doing tough workouts together, competitions and events inside & outside the gym, golf trips and get togethers. The youth programs and remote coaching programs have also allowed my family to be members of the community which is incredibly important to my wife and I. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? Pretty much anything outside. But lots of golf, hiking, and sports with my kids. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? This would be a long list! One example would be dealing with setbacks. I’ve learned fitness is a long journey, not just a one size fits all fix. There's lots of turns and detours on that journey. Being here for so long my body and my abilities have adapted over time. With all the different things Prototype has to offer, and coaches that are so committed to the members, I’ve continued to be able to find a path forward regardless of the set back of change in my abilities. Another example would be resiliency. Stay on path isn’t easy, especially when that path seems like it never ends. Through Prototype, and side programs I’m part through Prototype, I’ve been building the resiliency muscles which has had a huge impact on my personal health & life as well as my professional life. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? -Continue to do hard things. Put something in the calendar each year that kinda scares me and I have to work toward. I want this to be a physical and mental challenge. -Rebuild the strength in my legs, and work towards squatting again. This may require a setback, but something I really want. -Build more muscle! 6.) Favorite Quote You want to go fast, go alone. You want to go far, go together!
