Hey y’all, my name is Addison Owens and I am a new trainer here at The Zoo Health Club. I grew up as a competitive baton twirler for 17 years and twirled two years at Georgia Southern University before realizing that Personal Training was my calling. I’ve been working out for three years and have the biggest passion for health and fitness. Working out has tremendously helped me feel better physically but also mentally. I wanted a career that would allow me to do what I love while pouring into other people’s lives as well. My main goal is to help people become the best version of themselves and share what I’m certified to do! Hey y’all, my name is Addison Owens and I am a new trainer here at The Zoo Health Club.
