About Me

My name is Pat Bell and I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy and fitness coach.

I graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo in 2019 with my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, then received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Regis University in 2022. I began coaching clients of all ages and backgrounds in 2017 as a certified personal trainer at the Cal Poly Recreation Center, and have been training clients from all over the world virtually since then. Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with everyone from high school and college athletes to bodybuilders and powerlifters, in both gym and clinic settings. While my own lifting experience and interests have centered mostly around bodybuilding and powerlifting-style training (yes, I’m a major meathead), my real passion lies in giving people the tools to do what they want, for as long as they want, through exercise. If you’re passionate about it, I’m passionate about getting you back to doing it, and together we’ll overcome the pain or other barriers keeping you from living life on your own terms!
