Ward Holverson - Manager

Ward graduated from Oregon State University with a Bachelors Degree in Exercise and Sports Science with an option in Fitness Program Management. He has been working in the fitness industry for over 7 years the last year with Fitness Together. Ward was also a FIT instructor certified through OSU. Since then he has received an APEX certification as well as getting certified through Fitness Together. Ward is always looking to learn something new to help his clients reach their goals and will continue to pursue more certifications to that end.

Ward is especially interested in working with people with physical limitations. Whether it is a recent ACL injury, the onset of osteoporosis or a shoulder problem, Ward works with all types of limitations. Getting clients to their goals regardless of past or recent injuries is what drives him. He is also very focused on helping his clients lose weight safely and effectively.

When not at work you can often find him lifting weights or running. He also enjoys hiking whenever the opportunity presents itself. Ward played baseball from little league up to eventually playing Junior College baseball. “If not exercising then I’m probably watching ESPN or playing my guitar”.

Kevin Hagen

Kevin just recently graduated from Oregon State University in March with a degree in Exercise Science. In his free time Kevin likes to spend quality time with friends and family, running and working out in the gym, reading, hiking at one of the many wildlife refuges here in Oregon, and either going to, watching, or listening to Portland Trail Blazer games.

“During the last six months what I’ve enjoyed the most is building trusting relationships with each of my clients. I design challenging individualized programs and then try to make the workout fun so you’re always excited about next time.”

“My philosophy on getting in shape is to pick a program that is fun and stick to it, never regress. I think that fitness is a lifelong journey that should compliment all of the other areas of your life.”
