🚨HEY COACH CHARLA BOVA🚨
I am from Mulkeytown, IL- a very small town of 200 ppl. I grew up in the country, so I spent a lot of my time riding ATVs/Go-karts, camping at the lake, listening to country music, and playing sports. I started lifting weights at the age of 14 in place of going to P.E. Along with lifting, playing sports (volleyball, cheer, gymnastics, track/field) and conquering small injuries along the way is what made me choose my career path.
I started personal training at the age of 23 and my career started as a Corrective Exercise Specialist at a Chiropractic Office. I then moved to the Corporate Gym World (Gold’s Gym) as a Personal Trainer/Gold’sFit Head Coach. In May 2020, I ventured off and started my own business- Bova Fitness, LLC. Outside of training clients, I teach classes at F45.
I have been a Personal Trainer/Coach for 17+ years. During this time, I have worked with a variety of different training styles from corrective to weight loss to sports performance. My specialty/passion is Corrective Exercise/Post-rehab training. I love human anatomy and I truly enjoy correcting people so they can perform better, have less pain, and move more efficiently. And nothing is more exciting/rewarding than helping someone realize their potential to do more than what they think they can! The human body is such a fascinating machine.
I currently hold my B.S. in Exercise Science and my M.S. in Sports and Human Performance. Certifications include NASM- PT, NASM- Corrective Exercise Specialist, CrossFit L1, Precision Nutrition L1, TRX, CPR/AED
💥Outside of F45- I have a husband and 4 kids that keep me busy with all the sports/activities. I enjoy going to concerts, lake life, float trips, sporting events, traveling, & visiting family/friends.
💥Fun Fact- I am a published author in the NSCA Journal, and I was a competitive physique bodybuilder for 6 years.
