Patricia Binkley-Childress, B.A., Advanced Fitness Specialist, Group Fitness Instructor
President of Designs For Fitness, L.L.C.

Patricia was born at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico on September 24, 1959. The military exposure she received throughout her childhood, helped shape her belief in striving for "Excellence in Fitness."

At a very young age, it became apparent that Patricia loved to dance and be active. Her parents, however, desired for her to do well academically. Patricia was determined to do both!

Her passion for the field of fitness and good nutrition was molded by her early adult experience as a professional model. Her education in these fields began when she interned with several alternative health practitioners.

Throughout her adult life, Patricia has chosen to seek out knowledge in education and professional experience. She holds a Bachelors in Health Psychology, Masters work in Psychology, Kinesiology and Allied Health Science. She has completed hundreds of hours in continuing education to maintain three nationally recognized certifications. She has trained numerous clients, trainers, and group fitness instructors and is a Central Contractor for the United States Government, providing fitness services for military and firefighter personnel.

She has volunteered hundreds of hours to encourage professionalism within the field of fitness and to motivate individuals to develop healthy lifestyles.  She loves what she does, expects the highest level of professionalism in everything she is a part of, and is willing to sacrifice hours away from her family (husband, 5 children and 5 grandchildren) to ensure others understand how to succeed in their pursuit of healthy habits.  It is for this reason that Patricia is a necessary and valued commodity for any business or individual who desires to change.

John Tiner, B.S., Personal Trainer

Vice President of Designs For Fitness, L.L.C.

2006-01-21-1928-52.jpg
     Growing up in Bastrop, Louisiana, John enjoyed fashion, football, fitness,
and friendships. Combining these interests with the attainment of a Bachelor
of Science degree in Business Administration and Marketing, John began
pursuing his lifelong occupation in retail management.
     Throughout John's 40+ year career in retail, his high level of achievement
and success could be attributed to his superior people skills and his keen
understanding of business. John looked forward to every challenge in both
his professional, as well as, his personal life.     
     While he was striving to be the best buyer, manager, director or supervisor,
he also desired to be in top shape physically and at the same time, be a loving
husband and father. Every year of John's career brought him new challenges
and, at times, the path for him was difficult.  He was determined to rise above
both professional and personal setbacks and succeed.  It was determination
that allowed him to maintain an absolutely shining career record, until his
retirement from retail in 2003.     
     Since that time, John has chosen to pursue his love of fitness by sharing his
knowledge of exercise and how it can positively impact one's life with those he
trains and consults. Everyone loves John. When combining his "easy to love"
                                                              personality with his fitness expertise, corporate knowledge, and common sense
                                                              approach, he clearly becomes an asset for any client desiring to develop a wellness
                                                              program.
