"Let me be your guide throughout the aging process"
The Age Coach (formerly Balance Point Fitness) is here to help you “Age with Grace”. My name is Kevin Suttmoeller and I am dedicated to assisting people of all ages and skill levels to live a healthy fitness-based lifestyle. It is my opinion that when you incorporate fitness, strength, and mobility into your daily life; it is very much within your ability to live a long, strong, vibrant life filled with happiness.
There is so much information on fitness out there and we aim to sort it out so you don't have to. As a trainer, coach, gym owner (CrossFit Redding 2008-13’, Balance Point Fitness 2013-18’), and certified massage therapist since 2005, I have helped thousands of clients realize the value and importance of living a healthy fitness-based lifestyle. This includes children, all levels of athletes including those at the Olympic level, as well as adults and seniors aging into their 90's. As a life long BMX racing athlete, I was fortunate to serve on the USA Cycling Olympic BMX program from 2007-2012 as massage therapist (soigneur).
In 2017, I was confronted with the greatest challenge of my life. CANCER! Yes, I was diagnosed with stage 3 Melanoma in June of that year. I needed to have my right Big Toe amputated and lymph nodes removed. A second surgery 6 weeks later to remove more lymph nodes coupled with Immunotherapy drug regimen yielded my first clear PET scan in September of 2018. At that point, I made the crazy decision to become a Firefighter at 52 years old. After two separate fire academy’s, I joined Cal-Fire as a seasonal firefighter. I am convinced that had I not led a life of Fitness, Strength, and Mobility; there would have been no way I could have firstly; BEATEN cancer, and secondly gone on to become a firefighter at age 52. Just prior to my third fire season as a Firefighter, I unfortunately had a shoulder injury that required surgery. This took me out of that season, so while recovering, I attended a Commercial Driving course and acquired my CDL in December of 2021.
Life is a great journey and I believe that my decades of fitness training have allowed me to continue to adapt to the challenges that come my way.
Now 56 years old, I have enough years behind me to realize that the aging process is VERY real and it takes wisdom and effort to age wisely. It is my passion to teach people (of all ages) that you have great power within you to reclaim and maintain your fitness, strength, and mobility. Let me assist you along the path of aging and be your coach in achieving your goals.
