Our Trainers
Israel Wells - Strength Training
I was born and raised just outside of Champaign IL. I grew up playing and loving basketball which I did in high school for both the Unity Rockets and the Champaign Cyclones. I attended Parkland College where I received my associate degree in Kinesiology. During that time, I also earned a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) license. I then attended the University of Illinois (UIUC) and graduated in 2021 with a bachelors degree in Kinesiology. While I was a student at UIUC, I served as a personal trainer for Parkland College’s athletic clientele. I also participated in a strength and conditioning internship at UIUC with their sports teams. I was accredited as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) in fall 2021. Currently, I train at Parkland college as well as having my own clientele.
