May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. Regular physical activity is good for everyone’s health. Here at Buckley AFB there are an abundance of activities and resources to help you meet your fitness goals. If you need guidance or motivation our Fitness Center has a top rate staff available to help. This month we are spotlighting a new Fitness Center staff member who brings impressive credentials and great passion for his profession. Please join me in welcoming Russ Oliver to Team Buckley! Mr. Albert Woolley, Director Name: Russ Oliver Title: Recreation Assistant Time at Buckley: 3 months Tell us a little about your background and experience I was an AF squadron trainer for 12 years and I continued to pursue that profession after leaving the military. I recently moved here from Florida where I was working at the YMCA as the lead fitness trainer, lead floor trainer and lead personal trainer. I supervised 25 trainers and created their profiles to give members a good idea of who would be a good match for their needs. I’m a Certified Master Trainer in many areas including bodybuilding, MMA, swimming, cycling, martial arts, military boot camp, fire school and police academy training. I’m also a certified rehab specialist and I’m currently getting recertified in National Academy Sports Medicine. Why did you come to Buckley AFB? Colorado is my home and I’ve been trying to get to Buckley for more than two years. I just wanted to give back to the military. It is great to be on an Air Force Base again. What drew you to this career field? I’ve been an athlete since I was 7 years old. I just never quit. I’ve been in baseball, soccer, gymnastics, track, water skiing and martial arts. I became involved in martial arts for the military. I was an undefeated kickboxer for 4 years, but I walked away because I decided what I really wanted to be was a trainer. What does your job at Buckley entail? I do a lot of fitness training for the squadrons. I lead some of the group classes and I also do a lot of one-on-one training. What motivates you to stay fit? I’m motivated by those mountains out there! I enjoy hiking, mountain climbing, and biking. I ride a bike anytime I can. I also work out a lot. It is just a way of life for me.
