Meet Our Medical Gym Director
Hello everyone! My name is Alex Bohnstedt and I could not be more excited to be a part of the ARC Team. We recently opened a Medical Gym to bridge the gap between fitness and medicine. I am an Illinois State University grad, with a degree in Exercise Science and I am a certified Exercise Physiologist through ACSM. Growing up I was a competitive gymnast, in which I instantly fell in love with the body’s ability for movement. Injuries then sparked my interest for corrective exercise and the mental side of physical activity. Having experience working with neuro, orthopedics, weight loss, and special populations- I am excited to continue helping individuals find their love for exercise. A healthy mind and body are a window into endless opportunity! – Alex Bohnstedt

Personal Training

This foundation protects each individual as they start exercising, allowing us to address any orthoepic needs first. No bumps in the road! We then discuss psychological barriers using screening to ensure patients are successful in their fitness journey. From here we set realistic goals together.
