Stewart recognized that most personal training experiences do not fulfill the promise of a true partnership between the trainer and the client. He wanted to build meaningful relationships with people who consider fitness to be central to their lives. Motivating. Focused. Committed. Driven. These words best describe Stewart Breeding, the founder of Focus Fitness. Stewart brings a holistic perspective that focuses as much on the attitude toward fitness as the body itself. His methods energize the mind and body and create sustainable long-term results. With over 19 years experience as a personal trainer, he understands the impact nutrition, stress, body composition and other important factors have on the development of an ideal training program. He also knows that training has to be enjoyable to be successful. Stewart holds certifications from numerous strength, training and health organizations and has been a student of the martial arts for 30 years. It’s all about cause and effect and I want to see results from literally every motion my clients make. I’ve been training for most of my life and have seen the way people change as they get into it. Of course, their bodies change but what is really amazing is to see attitudes shift, energy increase and overall happiness go off the charts. That infectious spirit is why I created Focus Fitness. I love being a part of it every day. Energetic. Enthusiastic. Knowledgeable. Engaging. These words best describe Ben Davis, one of our Premiere Personal Trainers. Ben has spent years studying exercise physiology and nutrition, which he focuses entirely on helping his clients achieve the results they desire. He holds a bachelors degree from Florida State University with a concentration in exercise science, food and nutrition. Ben is certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a personal trainer and also holds certifications in CPR and first aid. He is also educated in nutritional counseling and orthopedic rehabilitation. I love seeing my clients improve because results are so motivational. Regardless of experience level, my focus is always on developing the best, most appropriate program possible and then making it fun and interesting to do. We work hard but we also laugh a lot along the way. The first step is often the most difficult but we make it simple. Get in touch with us and we’ll answer all of your questions with no pressure.

TEAM ENVIRONMENT METHODS TEAM Training at Focus Fitness is a profession, not a part time job. The studio is not open to contracted trainers for personal use. Everyone who works at Focus is fully dedicated to the success of every client, and every trainer. The Focus staff relies on a client-based methodology because every individual brings unique expectations, goals, and abilities. It is the responsibility of the trainer to provide a personalized training plan which will challenge the client and allow them to get the most out of every session. Our trainers are dedicated to integrated wellness, strengthening not only physical components but mental, spiritual and emotional capacities of the client. Stewart Breeding, Owner, CPT Throughout my life, I have dedicated myself to mastering the art of physical training. With a background in the disciplined study of martial arts, I have developed a passion for the body and its dynamic movements. My study of martial arts began at the age of 7 and quickly became the foundation for my own personal development. By age 14, I was competing in elite power lifting, and won the USPF Teenage Championships at age 16 and 17. I have been blessed to work closely with the world?s most elite professionals in the fields of competitive weight training, orthopedic rehabilitation, martial arts and general fitness. In addition to these professionals, I have been trained by the US Army as a member of the 82nd airborne division. I believe in the importance of spiritual development and self-reflection. I am experienced in Zen and yoga meditation methods and have studied Aikido for 17 years under master instructors Mitsugi Saotome and Hiroshi Ikeda. These experiences become central in my teachings of weight loss practices and resistance training. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of South Florida and have multiple certifications in personal and strength training associations. My educational background in psychological and physiological sciences has developed the foundation for my integrative health perspective. In seeking my own path toward personal wellness, I discovered that helping others find that same balance is something I am led to accomplish. Nashville?s Focus Fitness is a culmination of the process through which our physical, mental and spiritual components interact. When these components are balanced and continually strengthened, they form a well-rounded, high performance system. Ben Davis, BS, CPT Since 2005, I have been a member of the Focus Fitness Training team. I am a Nashville native who holds a B.S. in Exercise Science from Florida State University. In addition to my primary degree I have an NSCA Personal Training Certification and expertise in nutritional sciences. These credentials and my extensive hands-on experiences are the foundation upon which I develop my highly effective training protocols. Every one of my clients is given an individualized plan which will challenge the client to reach beyond current ability levels and to find new dimensions of fitness. I love working with all levels and backgrounds of exercisers, from individuals concerned with orthopedic rehabilitation to adolescent exercisers and athletes. My methods are client-centered, whatever their fitness background, I will work tirelessly to create an effective regimen. I am committed to the growth of the client not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. Drawing upon my unwavering faith and a dedication to building personal relationships, I work to help my clients reach their health and fitness objectives. Jennifer Grafton, BS, CPT I pride myself on being a no nonsense, results driven trainer. I earned my degree in Exercise Science from Middle Tennessee State University and hold certifications in Personal Training from ACE and AFAA. Through my educational journey, I have developed methods which are precise and results which are inevitable. While at Focus, I have learned the art of maximizing muscular strength, endurance, and cardiovascular training in each session. It is my main objective to offer my clients an effective balance of exercises which will combine to optimize physical performance. Based on the philosophy of Focus, my clients and I share a relationship which allows me to challenge clients to the edge of their ability, and then help them find the will to take that extra step. The respect, trust and camaraderie that are built between my clients and myself provide the basis for an intense, supportive, and personalized training routine. Paul Masterson, BS, CPT An NSA Certified Personal Trainer and a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University, I rely on my education and personal commitment to fitness to craft each client?s training plan. Because I know that commitment and excellence lead to success, I expect the highest level of performance from my clients and I am equally dedicated to their success. Through standardized assessments and nutritional guidance, I will work to provide balance and motivation which are essential in reaching health and fitness goals. Beginning exercisers and elite athletes alike have seen the benefits of my understanding of body mechanics and mental preparation in training. My background is based in business and management. This expertise becomes apparent in the structure, creativity and efficiency of every movement. All my training sessions are designed for effectiveness and performance. In addition to individual trainings, I am also one of the instructors of the Focus Outdoor Bootcamp. I often transfer these same principles and dynamic movements into individual training sessions. Tiffany Watson, PhD I joined the Focus Fitness team as a Performance Enhancement Consultant. Holding a Masters degree in Sport Psychology and a PhD in Health and Human Performance, I am devoted to the intricacies of the mind and body connection. While in graduate school at Georgia Southern I had the opportunity to work with a variety of fitness enthusiasts and Division I student-athletes to enhance their daily performance. My approach is strictly client-centered, dedicated to addressing individual needs. The most common techniques include: visualization, motivation, positive self-talk, and attention training. As a member of the Focus team, I will be available to coach clients on the mental components of fitness and nutrition, as well as provide techniques for developing an integrated wellness program. An integrated program includes a balanced focus on the mental, spiritual, emotional and physical dimensions of wellness. Through these, any goals are possible. Currently I serve as an adjunct instructor at Belmont University in the Sport Science Department and also as a consultant to the athletic department where I work with coaches and student-athletes. In addition to my role in higher education, I am the head soccer coach at Harpeth Hall High School and have been a middle school basketball coach for four years previously. I am passionate about the development of adolescents as they begin to develop an interest in fitness and nutrition. Whether you are a novice exerciser or a seasoned competitor, I will help you to step beyond the boundaries of your physical and mental capabilities. Whatever your struggles, we will work together to break through the barriers and reach personal heights you never dreamed were possible. Tammy Dooley, Operations and Customer Service Manager Tammy is an irreplaceable member of the Focus Fitness team. She is the customer service liaison and the operations manager. The most important role that Tammy plays is as a walking example of how Focus Fitness can truly touch a person from the inside, out. Tammy first walked through the doors of Focus as a new client searching for her own path to weight loss and improved personal wellness. Now, after a successful life and body transformation, Tammy is a dedicated member of the Focus staff. Her ability to motivate and articulate the passion and feelings that resonate within the walls of Focus are the result of personal experience and accomplishment. This transformation has prompted Tammy to share with others the life change that she now lives everyday. Environment The studio has been carefully designed with the client as its center, creating an atmosphere which reflects a place of study rather than a gym. At Focus, physical development is an art form. When you train at Focus, you enter a sanctuary void of any distractions such as televisions or cell phones which monopolize your time on a daily basis. With no more than 5 trainers on the floor at any time you will never wait on machines or equipment. The intimate setting maximizes the energy and dynamic atmosphere. The entire space is environmentally friendly, offering clients an oasis of refreshing aesthetics including soothing colors, natural light and immaculate shower and bathroom facilities for your convenience. Method In order to ensure a complete wellness experience, 3-stage Japanese process called Shu (form), Ha (function) and Ri (content) is the foundation upon which every teaching at Focus is built. This process introduces the client to the technical fundamentals of a skill, challenges them to understand the purpose of the skill and to integrate each movement into other areas of personal growth inside and outside of the studio. In other words, we are dedicated to helping you reach a point at which you can break free of the trainer and maintain a lifestyle of health and wellness rooted in a true knowledge of the components of fitness. At Focus, we strongly believe that in order to truly maximize your physical performance, you must also integrate mental, spiritual and emotional development. These dimensions of wellness interact to create peak performance capability. Exercise is not only about weight loss, strength training, and improving fitness, but about developing an individual who is strong in mind, body and spirit.
