Deon Kappenman
Personal Trainer/Instructor

How I got started in the fitness industry: 
I originally got a job in a gym for a paycheck and a fun place to work. I quickly fell in love with exercise after seeing the enormous difference in my energy levels, mood, and physical appearance. Soon I became intrigued with Figure Fitness competitions and decided to pursue a goal of competing myself. My journey in the industry has led me through all aspects of health club operations while guiding men and women down their own avenues of fitness. I have been in the fitness industry for 5 years now and look forward to many more. I love what I do.

Why I’m still involved: 
I find the fitness industry to be an incredibly rewarding experience. I have watched countless people make positive changes that benefit their happiness, self esteem, and overall health.

Other interests: 
I enjoy, first and foremost, exercise in any way, shape, or form and am very focused on competing in Figure Fitness. Other stuff? Reading, drawing & painting, people, people watching, my dog Macho, skiing, jet skiing, volleyball, softball, eating bad food (though I don’t do that very often), movies, riding my motorcycle, hiking, camping, rollerblading, shopping, any racquet sport, and Sunshine.
