Dean Carlson, Certified Fitness Trainer, founded CR8 Health and Fitness in 2004. He also holds a Level 2 Youth Conditioning Specialist with the International Youth Conditioning Association. Dean worked with King Sports International out of Australia starting in 2005. This training allowed him to develop a well-rounded physical preparation coaching style for his Get Fit NH Bootcamps. Through Dean’s personal experience of being overweight, struggling with out of control blood sugar levels, loss of energy, and other warning signs of serious health issues Dean has been able to take charge of his health and is now helping others do the same. Dean’s passion for helping people train, not only their bodies, but also their minds shows up in his deep desire to help people break out of perceived limitations and achieve their goals, to help move them along the path from “I can’t” to “I DID!” Dean currently coaches adults just getting back into a healthy lifestyle as well as high school athletes focusing on gaining a college scholarship. “I now have the privilege of sharing my passion with others, from athletes striving for better on field performance to frustrated dieters who just want to get off the diet roller coaster.”
