Iker was influenced by sports and physical activity early on, starting at 3 years old. He was taught the physical and mental importance of being active and outdoors. He spent 17 years swimming nearly every day, the last 10 of those as a competitive swimmer.

While studying Sports Science in college, his passion for learning, exploring, and sharing knowledge with others grew. He moved to the UK to finish his education, which is where his journey working in physical fitness began. Soon after that, he fell in love with anatomy and human physiology. He pursued a Kinesiology degree in university and has now spent over ten years guiding others to reach their physical and mental health goals.

He combined his postsecondary education with several strength and conditioning training programs (e.g. CrossFit and NCSA), swimming coaching, and other adventures such as orienteering racing and diving around the world.

Patience, kindness, and calmness are his values, and they help him to find the best way to guide individuals on their own life adventures.

While not at the studio you can find him riding any kind of two-wheel transportation, snowboarding, or diving.
