My name is JD Samson. I began my fitness journey back in 2014 as I embarked on the path to a healthy lifestyle. At that same time I began coaching my oldest son’s youth basketball team. I found a great amount of joy and excitement teaching others movement on and off the court. I decided it was time to do something with my passion so I pursued my personal training certification through ACE. I got hired at Planet Fitness and became more in love with helping others to feel good, move good, feel strong and confident in themselves; but I still didn’t feel whole. It didn’t take long and I landed a job in Brunswick. At that same time I had enrolled at Central Maine Community College for the physical fitness specialist degree. Upon finishing up my degree at CMCC I had done an internship at PRIME360 with BJ. BJ’s philosophies and mine were exactly the same. I became a trainer/coach because I can impact people’s lives in positive ways. I can assist them in creating healthy sustainable habits aiding in longevity.
