Keith Blackwell

Keith is originally from Tyler, a small farm town in Alabama. He moved to the Brookhaven area over 6 years ago. He has been in the health and fitness industry for over 15 years. He received his certification training with The American Council on Exercise. He is passionate about seeing people's lives changed through health, fitness, and nutrition education. He has extensive business and leadership training and skills, with over 20 years of corporate experience. In 2006, after a near death experience caused by receiving a flu shot, he developed a severe case of Guillian Barre Syndrome. It took 15 months to recover from all of the toxins and effects that his body went through. This set him on a path to seek and understand how the body responds to outside stimuli and its effects on the mental, emotional, and physical state of our bodies. Spartan Barbell is a product of all of that research and a dream fulfilled. We are "different by design" is something you will hear him say often. He will be leading the Ignite Core & Cardio and Booty Builder classes. He is also available for personal one on one training. "Stay Focused, Stay Strong, Stay Committed!"-Keith
