Addie Merrill, CPT NASM: Addie Merrill opened Addie’s Studio in June of 2001 as the culmination of a lifelong love of both athletics and working with people one-on-one to achieve their goals. A San Diego native, Addie was a top level youth soccer player who became a highly recruited goalie at Madison High School, and ultimately the 1st string goal keeper at California State University, San Bernardino. In addition, Addie made headlines in high school as the first female athlete in California to play on the men’s varsity football team, kicking a 56-yard field goal in the process. After a celebrated athletic career in high school and college, Addie began to study nutrition, in part because of her own life-long struggle to control her body weight, and the various athletic injuries that had afflicted her throughout the years. Then in 1995 her father suffered a traumatic brain injury that forever convinced her of the importance of health and fitness – and the need she had to help others improve their lives. After several years of personal training in major health clubs in San Diego, Addie began to realize that the kind of personal connection and assistance she wanted to give to her clients could only be done in a small, intimate, one-on-one setting. With this in mind, she opened Addie’s Studio, designed to accommodate people of all ages, sizes and conditions, who can exercise in a non-intimidating environment and enjoy working out with an educated personal trainer by their side. Addie has two daugthers, Reese and Tatum and a dog name Zeus.
