MEET THE TRAINER: KENDRA MCBROOM
Kendra McBroom graduated from Salisbury University with a degree in exercise science and is a certified personal trainer through ACSM. Her personal and professional interests often intersect and have allowed her to be introduced to a broad set of experiences.

Her degree allows her to enjoy studying what she was doing in the weight room and, in turn, seeing and feeling the impacts and benefits it had on her performance on the field.

Nikholas received his BS in Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison). He found his way into personal training through his lifelong passion for athletics.
