Our Story

 

How we started

Alterra Training began from the desire to help others reach their physical fitness goals. Alterra, short for “All-terrain”, is a place where we wanted everyone to feel they could come to succeed and gain the knowledge and ability to accomplish their goals, whether through personal training, or online programming for any environment.

Meet the Team

  • Brandon Evans

    Brandon began his interest in personal training when he was preparing for the police academy in 2015. After researching the demands of the physical testing for the department, he began his own programming after reading articles on ways to improve his running and strength. Throughout his time at the police department he began noticing the physical demands of the job and the lack of education for the officers to be able to take care of themselves on- and off-duty. This is what sparked a change in passion for him that led him to completing his M.S. in Exercise Science with a focus on Nutrition and Wellness at Liberty University, as well as certifying as a personal trainer through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

  • Trace Cruz

    Trace’s passion for physical fitness started in high school and led through his college career. Trace attended Liberty University where he received his Bachelors in Exercise Science. After getting his degree he became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and began personal training at a local studio. While at school and after graduating, he enjoyed competing in ultra-marathon races around the country and realized his passion for pushing the limits of what most think their body can achieve. This drove him to seek more education and led to him attending Liberty University to work towards his Masters in Exercise Science.
