Student Personal Trainer: Liam Safier
Liam Safier is a sophomore majoring in Health Promotion and a certified personal trainer through the National Council on Strength and Fitness.

Student Personal Trainer: Jackson Miller
Hailing from the great city of San Francisco, Jackson is a Computer Science sophomore and personal trainer with the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Recreation and Fitness Center. Since freshman year, Jackson has been part of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s rock climbing club and has also developed into a dedicated long-distance runner. He is returning this year as a personal trainer certified by the National Council on Strength and Fitness.
Ìý
Rowing ignited Jackson’s passion for fitness and regimented training. In high school, his coach would make his crew’s training plan public for the whole team to see, and hold information sessions for rowers who were interested in the science behind the training. Jackson was enthralled by the methodical block approach to training and yearned to learn more. After a successful high school rowing career including two-course records, a few medals, youth nationals, and an incident at the Head of the Charles, Jackson decided that he would pursue marathon running in university. After two successful months of training including a marathon, six half marathons, and a sixteen-mile run in under 2 hours, he developed runner knee, shin splints, and plantar fasciitis all at once. cutting him off from running. During this period he reflected on his training methodologies, learned the importance of recovery and preventative exercises, and also became certified as a personal trainer.
Ìý
Simplicity and persistence backed by powerful motivation and a genuine passion for fitness are what comprise Jackson’s training philosophy. These concepts appear in his training as benchmark exercises that exhibit the trainee’s gradual but consistent athletic accomplishments. This approach stems from his experience with rowing and long-distance running, where seeing improvement demands massive amounts of time to be invested in low-intensity exercise. The long hours spent running along the Potomac or doing laps around Lake Merced in California had a meditative quality for him, through which he learned the irrevocable power of showing up every day.
Ìý
When he isn’t running sixteen miles around the track, or bouldering at a local climbing gym, Jackson can be found reading, studying, or listening to jazz in the Davenport Cafe. If he isn’t in the Dav, chances are he’s talking to his friends about planning the next camping trip, making music, or finding a new flea market or thrift store to visit.
Nina is a current Professional Personal Trainer, with a certification from International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) with a specialization in Strength and Conditioning. She graduated from Â鶹ÊÓƵ in 2019 where she earned a degree in Communications, Legal Institutions, Economics, and Government (CLEG) with a minor in International Studies. While at Â鶹ÊÓƵ, Nina was a member of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Dance Team and a Game Day Leader her senior year. She continues to work with the team and choreograph halftime performances for them to perform.
As a lifelong dancer and athlete, Nina has learned to balance long hours at the studio and dance practice with taking time to rest and recover. While dance was a creative and physical outlet, it did not come without its challenges to overall mental and emotional health. Nina was determined to keep herself active after graduation and became a certified personal trainer with the hopes of furthering not just her own health goals, but for those around her as well.Ìý
Nina likes to incorporate variety and diversity to her fitness programs. No two people are the same, so no two workouts or exercise plans will work the same for everyone. Nina provides her clients with a variety of strength and plyometric training, while encouraging them to still partake in movement that they love outside of training hours. For Nina, that includes scenic runs around the city, dancing, and hiking. For others that may be swimming, biking, or even just walking around the neighborhood. With a balanced approach comes a balanced life, and Nina looks forward to sharing that with her clients.
When Nina is not personal training or working out, she can be found playing with her Chihuahua Ricky, trying out restaurants around D.C., or going to concerts. She also works as a Production Strategist at Sapphire Strategies, a 100% women led and owned digital agency that works to help elect progressive candidates across the country. Nina knows a thing or two about time management and how important it is to find time for yourself and your health!

Sam’s passion for health began as a runner. In just a few years of high school track, his mile run improved from 7:30 to 4:57!
After a successful running career, he shifted focus towards strength training, weight lifting, and even some bodybuilding. He worked as a Personal Trainer for Â鶹ÊÓƵ until Covid began. Since then, he has also become a Nutrition Coach and Massage Therapist.
One of his greatest features as a trainer is his collection of online fitness/workout videos. Many can be seen for free on Youtube, Instagram, and Tik Tok. As an In-Person Trainer, he prioritizes improving cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and full body flexibility! His main goal is to teach every client enough so that they can successfully create and follow their own training program(s).
Since becoming a trainer, I’ve revisited many of the sports I never thought I could play. I’m now a big fan of basketball, football, and track (of course)! I also enjoy volleyball, swimming, and soccer. I’m from New York so I love to root for the Knicks and Giants. In my free time I like to draw and listen to music!

Master Personal Trainer: Michael Rosengart, MS, CSCS
Michael Rosengart, MS, CSCS, started as the Personal Training Coordinator for Â鶹ÊÓƵ in January of 2022 and graduate from the master's program in Health Promotion Management in May of 2024. Michael has spent over twenty years working in sports and fitness as an educator, manager, strength coach, group exercise instructor and personal trainer.
Michael started his career in New York City with Equinox Fitness where he became one of the company’s Master Instructor as well as a popular group fitness instructor due to his innovated prehab and active stretch class. Michael was also an assistant kinesiology instructor and strength coach at Santa Monica College where he helped the football team to three consecutive conference championships. In addition to coaching and teaching, Michael has also author three exercise books about prehab exercises and functional training techniques.
Even though Michael was very active and competitive in sports growing up, he was officially obese at the end of the sixth grade. Fortunately, he learned to balance his diet with Weight Watchers and started a fitness routine that led to a dramatic weight loss, which he’s learned to maintain throughout the rest of his life.
Michael was also very fortunate to start his career with Equinox Fitness, which was one of the only fitness companies that operated an in-house continuing education program for the personal training staff. At Equinox, Michael learned many innovative exercise techniques and training concepts from some of the brightest minds in the fitness industry, including Gray Cook, Tom Myers, Dr. John Berardi and more.
In graduate school, Michael suffered a string of injuries while playing American Football at the University of Essex. Michael fractured his fibula, and tore his Achilles tendon twice, all in one year. Consequentially, Michael was forced to learn many different therapeutic exercises and techniques over the course of the next decade to continue with an active lifestyle.
Michael has been very successful at maintaining an active lifestyle to this day, which includes running marathons, practicing kickboxing, and playing an array of sports that include basketball, flag football, softball and more. The secret to Michael’s success has been his ability to fashion a library of therapeutic exercises and techniques in a practice of prehab.
Upon the discovery of prehab, Michael shifted his philosophy in training to focus from more is better to better is better. Michael focuses on improving biomechanical function to build physiological capacity (fitness) and optimize performance.
His approach includes a healthy dose of prehab exercises increase mobility, flexibility and range of motion while improving muscle activation to strengthen of weak muscles group and improve stability or body control in any movement. ÌýAdditionally, Michael’s astute ability to assess biomechanics helps his clients to eliminate adequately address movement dysfunctions and compensation patterns, which ultimately mitigates the risk of injury while improving one’s fitness and/or performance.
Michael describes himself as a holistic performance coach. He understands that it is just as important to perform well at work, in relationships or with stress as it is to perform well on the court, field and/or track. To accomplish this, Michael focuses on the hierarch of health, fitness and performance through detailed programming and simplistic coaching.
Michael understands that the modern lifestyle has many competing demands on our time, focus and energy. Traffic jams, work deadlines, social networks can easily interfere with the most well-intention plans to eat healthy, exercise right and sleep well. At the same time, Michael also understands that every little bit helps, and a good coach is someone that can help another person keep going despite the obstacles and find a sense of accomplishment along the way, as well as a bit of joy too.
When Michael is not working, teaching or taking class, he can usually be found playing basketball in Bender Area, working out in the one of the fitness centers, or participating in some of the intramural leagues on campus.
Michael also leads the Monday Stretch-It-Out sessions for AhealthyU, which he invites you to join!
