Joel comes from Lexington, KY with a B.A. in cultural anthropology from Asbury University. While not exactly the background one assumes of a trainer, the skill set honed in fieldwork abroad makes his programming style a little more personal.
Joel is also graduate of Lexington Healing Arts Academy, is a Certified Personal Trainer with the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and has been training and coaching all ages to find stronger and more confident versions of themselves
for the last 6 years. "My fitness philosophy: Humans are integrated beings consisting of body, mind, spirit; when you modify one of these, the others transform. You have to consider the whole person when designing a program. If habits
aren't sustainable, neither will the envisioned state be." Joel specializes in: corrective exercise and posture, special health conditions, strength training, beginner-to-intermediate bodybuilding, and all those who are afraid to exercise.

As a Certified Personal Trainer over the last year, I have come to enjoy my clients success more than my own. My goal is to help my clients reach their full potential. Im not satisfied until my clients are. While working out is not the place we typically find the most exciting, I try to bring a fun new approach to getting back in shape. I am well rounded in strength and conditioning programing, weight loss, and bodybuilding. In my spare time I enjoy working out, playing golf, and traveling.

A health, wellness and fitness professional since 2005, Drew personally understands the challenges that come from battling a significant health issue. Diagnosed with what he was told was an incurable autoimmune condition in his mid-20s, Drew’s faith led him explore holistic, integrative and natural interventions and lifestyle changes to find a solution. After only a few months of implementing some new-found strategies, Drew’s health dramatically improved!

His experience was so profound that he actually shifted career paths- from clinical counseling to holistic health, wellness and functional fitness. For the last 10+ years Drew has served his health coaching, nutrition coaching and personal training clients by combined a passion for all things health-related with a sincere desire to help all people overcome whatever health challenge stands in their way.

A relentless health researcher and writer, Drew wrote his first book in 2018. The Dreiling Health Solution is a 350-page compendium of vital health resources available online through Amazon (amazon.com) and Barnes & Noble (barnesandnoble.com).

In late 2018 Drew launched his own coaching and training business. Agape Health Solution LLC offers 3 distinct services- holistic health coaching, nutrition coaching and personal training. All 3 services are available to both Charleston-area clients as well as remote clients.

Throughout the last decade Drew’s mission has remained the same- the help his clients and others reduce and eliminate pain, improve energy, improve functional mobility, move toward an optimal body composition (including weight) AND get the tools needed live a long, vibrant life.

Dr. Jason St Clair is the founder and owner of RISE Rehab. He believes strongly that the ultimate
goal of physical therapy should be to get people quickly and safely out of the medical system
and back to the performance they desire. His motivation to create a model of care that respects
his belief system led him to dedicate the past 5 years seeking advanced education and
obtaining his Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist as well as a Fellowship in Orthopedic
Manual Physical Therapy (FAAOMPT). This dedication to his training has given him the ability to
clearly identify the current source of one’s pain or primary limitations leading to the inability to
perform to their desired level. Being able to quickly identify these factors allows him to look
more broadly and to understand each individual’s unique situation and contributing factors that
have led them to seek out his care. Of equal importance, Dr. St Clair believes that every
individual must take an active role in the planning and goal setting process, which will enable
them to control their situation through his professional guidance. Dr. St Clair works with all
active individuals of varying performance levels and has a special interest working with
endurance athletes, as he was a collegiate track and field/cross country runner himself. In
addition to RISE he is also Adjunct Faculty in the Physical Therapy department at MUSC. Beyond
his career, he enjoys surfing, working out, and spending time with his wife and 5 year old son. If
you have unresolved pain or feel you are not performing to your potential, please reach out
and schedule an initial consultation.
