Jerry Orta

Jerry Orta has been in the exercise science arena since 2002.  During this time, he has served many roles including: group exercise instructor, health education presenter, facility manager, and personal trainer.  Jerry earned his B.S. and M.S. from the University of Mississippi in exercise science and health promotion. Education has always been a top priority in order to improve his skills as a professional.

In 2012, Jerry received his corrective exercise certification known as Ortho-Kinetics. Literally meaning “to correct movement,” he learned a whole new way of looking at the body. He resonated with their statement, “the human body is an integrated system that is only as good as the sum of its isolated parts.” By gaining an understanding of our isolated parts (joints), he loves how a change in one joint can influence other joints in the body because of the integrated nature of our muscular system. 

Of the entire exercise science field only 2% of fitness professionals enter the corrective exercise field. This is because of how complex the human body is to understand. Jerry is dedicated to understanding these complexities allowing him to assist people through many muscular challenges using a variety of soft tissue modalities and specified training. Jerry may utilize Muscle Activation Techniques during a client’s session to offer a unique and integrated experience as well as other modalities such as kinesiotaping or RT, Resistance Training. By having a vast toolbox of skills and knowledge, Jerry has a variety of ways to address someone’s physical issues.

Jerry looks forward to helping you achieve your goals, however he must first addresses your needs.  A comprehensive approach to exercise should address both wants and needs and in this case an award-winning assessment is utilized to identify those needs. As an Ortho-Kinetics Specialist, Jerry aims to show you his depth of knowledge, scope of training, and dedication towards providing you with exemplary service.
