H3 Who's Who: Adam Martin

Please allow me to introduce February’s Who’s Who spotlight, H3 Fitness Director Adam Martin.

If you are a regular follower of the blog, or have visited Hilton Head Health, you are most familiar with this person.  Here’s a bit of background on H3’s own exercise and fitness guru.

Born and raised in the Sunshine State, Adam Martin’s interest and passion for fitness began at an early age with sports. He tried a little bit of everything from Martial Arts to tennis to golf to soccer (which proved to be his favorite, as he played from age eight through his senior year in high school). After graduating high school, Adam attended the University of Florida, which is where he first learned about Hilton Head Health (H³).  Upon receiving a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology/Biomechanics, Adam applied to H³’s internship program.

Adam began his four month internship in January of 2006 – and after just three months he was offered the opportunity for employment at H³ as the Fitness Specialist.  He continued as Fitness Specialist until March of 2007, when he was promoted to Fitness Director.  As Fitness Director, Adam not only oversees all scheduled fitness activities, but he also teaches fitness lectures.  He’s discovered that educating people about the benefits of consistent exercise has become a calling for him.  In addition, Adam is also responsible for facilitating our fitness-focused specialty week, FIT Week, which is only offered twice per year.  Adam finds that “it’s during FIT Week that a diverse group of Guests grow immensely, helping conquer lifelong hurdles, in route to long-term lifestyle change.  When you have a passionate and motivated group of individuals, as we do during FIT Week, the sky’s the limit!”

When Adam’s not inspiring Guests at H³, you can find him on the beach running or cycling with his dog Sterling—or curled up in his hammock enjoying a good book or in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes.

You can follow Adam on Twitter here or you’ll find him posting news and comments on the H³ Facebook page here.
