ABOUT KRIS CAMERON

I have been a certified personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise since 2001, listed on the United States Registry of Exercise Professionals, and a member of the Medical Fitness Network. I have dedicated over 20 years to the health and fitness of others. I co-founded the Cedar Rapids Metro Parkinson's Association and established it as a non-profit in 2017.

​I am a Graduate student in Clinical Counseling and interested in how the body and mind work together. Of special interest is the effect of exercise, movement, and nutrition on mental health.

​

Over the years, I have worked with all ages from children to frail elderly, as well as individuals with disabilities. My specialty is medical fitness and working with adults ages 50 and better. I believe in building relationships and trust, not just building a client base. All are welcome! 

​

With a background in healthcare and physical rehabilitation, I have experience working with clients who have orthopedic injuries, arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, bariatric surgery, mental disorders, and stroke.  I am proud to be trusted to collaborate with healthcare providers from physicians to physical therapists to provide continuation of care for their patients.
