John Collinson

Personal trainer and former professional skier. He came back from serious injuries through strength training, and that is what he coaches.

Strength training, learned the hard way.

John is a professional skier known for technical skiing, big-mountain lines, and a life spent outdoors. He grew up in the mountains and started early, becoming one of the youngest athletes to ski some of the world's most demanding peaks. His career took him around the globe: major ski films, competition at the highest levels, and a long run pushing what freeride skiing looks like.

Then came the injuries. Coming back from them turned him into a student of strength training and injury prevention, and it changed how he approaches both skiing and fitness. That recovery is what led him to pursue personal trainer certifications through ISSA and NASM. He is currently certified through NASM and trains clients at Dynamic Physical Therapy.
