    Cortney Vance

    Cortney Vance has been in the fitness industry for five years. He started working out in 2007 and entered his first bodybuilding competition in 2008. It was at that point that he fell in love with the fitness lifestyle.

    Cortney received his certification through the National Council of Certified Personal Trainers (NCCPT), and began his personal training career at 10 Fitness in Little Rock, AR.  Later, he advanced his career at LA Fitness as a head trainer, and finally at A Kick Above Studio.

    Throughout his years of training various types of clients, he has had the most success with a specific form of training called Metabolic conditioning, also known as Metcon. This method involves a high to medium work rate using exercises designed to burn more calories during, and even after, your workout. Cortney’s programs consist of cardio and strength exercises to get clients lean and to help them lose weight.
