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!”
