Biography: As a personal trainer, Ava finds that the best training methods parallel her as a World Class Figure competitor. When training for competitions the ultimate goal is a lean healthy physique, which ultimately means overall strength, cardiovascular health, movement efficiency all while maintaining low body fat levels—physical attributes that everyone needs to live a long and healthy life. Ava firmly believes that the differences between training regimens for professional physique athletes and those specified for everyday clients are few; while routines are most certainly modified, the basic principles should
remain the same. There aren’t enough personal trainers out there who actually live the lifestyle the way that Ava does year round. It is that "in the trenches" experience that sets Ava apart. She combines weight training for hypertrophy with exercises focusing on muscular endurance to create a balanced training protocol. Ava strives to provide clients with the finest methods to efficiently and naturally enhance self-improvement both physically and emotionally.Ava Cowan, is making moves and getting serious attention
