About Universal Personal Training & Coach Todd
"True fitness goes beyond lifting weights — it's about fostering a deeper connection between your mind, body, and being."
I'm Todd Ballinger — a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Certified Nutrition Coach, and wellness coach devoted to helping people live their healthiest, most empowered lives. For more than a decade, I partner with a diverse range of clients, from competitive athletes to individuals reclaiming balance and vitality in midlife.

Filling The Gap In Midlife Wellness
I founded Universal Personal Training (UPT) to fill a gap I see throughout the health and fitness industry: the need for a comprehensive, holistic approach that addresses the unique realities and physiological shifts of midlife.
Many of us reach a milestone where high-impact routines, extreme diets, or chaotic gym environments no longer serve us. You don't want exhaustion — you want lasting strength, joint mobility, clear thinking, and vitality for your family and career.
UPT goes beyond sets and reps — it's a transformative wellness experience for midlife adults seeking strength, clarity, and balance. Built on our core Four Pillars — Being, Body, Mind, and Connection — our programs fuse physical conditioning with emotional resilience, nutritional coaching, and authentic community.
My background in mature-adult programming, nutritional guidance, life coaching, and leadership development informs every program I build — so I can help you create lifelong, sustainable wellness.

"Let's Redefine What's Possible Together."
