Jeff Frizzell
Owner
Jeff Frizzell is the owner of Fitness Together here in Springfield. He moved to Springfield in 2003 with his wife Amy and their daughter Piper. “I saw this move as an opportunity to end my successful career as a chef and restaurant manager and pursue my passions of athletics, health, and fitness.” Jeff was accepted into the highly competitive and nationally ranked Missouri State Sports Medicine and Athletic Training program. Under this program, Jeff acquired hands on clinical rehabilitation experience working with males and females of all ages and fitness levels. “This program not only gave me the knowledge of how the body works and how to help others attain their desired activity level, it put me on the front lines through clinical application. It is through this educational program that I realized how I can best direct my passions in a way to make a difference in individuals’ lives…and Fitness Together is my tool.” Jeff is a certified fitness trainer through the International Sports Sciences Association, dedicated husband, and father of two. He is a cycling fanatic who has competed on the amateur road racing level since age 13. Jeff knows all about the importance of setting personal fitness goals and how to attain them in a safe and efficient manner. “I get excited every time I have the opportunity to put my expertise to use for the benefit of others. All of us are blessed with certain talents and abilities and we are called to put them to good use.” Jeff Frizzell said, “This is my calling!”

Chris Brice
Personal Trainer, Exercise Specialist
Chris is a local graduate with an Exercise Specialist degree. He is a certified personal trainer with the National Strength and Conditioning Association and brings years of personal and professional experience to Fitness Together. “My passion for health and fitness began when I was in high school. I spent the majority of my spare time working out or searching for ways to become more fit and healthy,” Chris says. “I figured since I liked working out and being healthy so much, then I should make a career of it,” he continues. Chris is passionate about helping others to live a more fit and healthy lifestyle and truly finds great reward in it. “I believe that being physically, mentally, and spiritually fit are key essentials to a happy and fulfilled life,” states Chris. Brice understands how fitness increases energy, morale, and confidence in people as well as its ability to prevent many health related problems they suffer through.

Ryan Shepherd
Personal Trainer
Ryan Shepherd has years of personal experience in the arena of personal fitness. His philosophy on fitness is simple: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. “Taking care of the human body is the most essential and basic component of daily living, yet is often the most neglected,” Ryan points out. “The total cost of time, energy, and effort invested in leading a healthy lifestyle is much more favorable than that of a physician’s bill,” he continues. Ryan feels the decision to lose weight, increase cardiovascular endurance, eat more healthily, or develop and tone muscle is one that will preempt many of the most common health complications we face. “It is NEVER too late to start living proactively and caring for the body as it was intended. Prevention begins….now!” he announces. Ryan knows with proper nutrition and adequate physical activity, the individual is rewarded as the body starts to looks better, feel better, and perform better. At Fitness Together, the better you… awaits you!
Alison Johnson
Personal Trainer
Alison Johnson is a NASM certified personal trainer and has been in the fitness industry for the past three years. With a personal history rich in athletic activity, Alison’s passion is to help others reach their personal health and fitness goals, resulting in optimal health. She is dedicated to seeing clients find fulfillment and an appreciation for all-around wellness, making clients’ goals her own and enabling them to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Her main focus is to walk alongside and motivate clients as they transform their lives through exercise. “Growing up, my parents always exercised and ate healthy. In addition to the example set by my parents, I was involved in softball, volleyball and basketball, so when it came time to choose a career, I felt that due to my lifestyle, personal training was the perfect choice. I feel blessed to have a job where I have the opportunity to change people’s lives and to enjoy what I do! Being able to witness the transformations of people in all areas of life due to exercise and healthy eating is a privilege. I love to share my knowledge and experience with others and watch as they gain a true appreciation for healthy living.”
