Trent Craig

Trent Craig was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. He attended Goodpasture Christian School and graduated from MTSU with a degree in Business Administration. "I have always been an athlete and played every sport competitively, specifically basketball and soccer. I was All-Region in both sports and was voted "Most Athletic" in my senior class."

During his senior year, multiple colleges recruited him to play both sports when he suffered a traumatic sports injury that placed him in the hospital for six days. In the hospital he lost 70 pounds from his frame. The doctor informed Trent that because his body had a significant amount of muscle tissue, he was able to sustain and overcome a life-threatening injury. It was at that point Trent decided to dedicate his life to physical fitness and help others achieve their health and fitness goals. Since that time, Trent has regained his strength and truly appreciates what it means to be physically fit. In the past year, he's played semi-pro football and trained in Orlando, Florida. He moved home for the opportunity to work as a personal strength training coach at Efficient Fitness. Trent has been a personal strength trainer for over six years and enjoys watching people achieve what they never thought possible through proper strength training and diet. Whether it is weight loss or weight gain, more energy, physical strength, or better performance in a competitive activity, the principles of proper strength training do not change. Trent wants to help clients achieve a fitness level that suits their needs and helps them manage whatever lifestyle they pursue.
