Jeff's biography

At the age of 25, Jeffrey Segal was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). Within two years, he was spending the better part of his days in a wheelchair due to balance difficulties, partial paralysis, visual impairment, chronic fatigue, and a host of other symptoms common to those with MS. Jeff was unwilling to yield to the disease, and instead, launched his own wellness and rehabilitation program. Today, Jeff is in top physical condition and has reclaimed his life through exercise, nutrition, and other wellness strategies. His outlook on life has also significantly improved. As a motivational speaker, Jeff's earnestness, integrity, and candor reawaken hope and empower others. A 1998 graduate of Florida State University, Jeff became a Certified Personal Training Specialist� (CPTS) through the Fitness Institute International where he successfully completed 300 hours of comprehensive academic and hands-on training. Jeff then completed an additional 60 hours studying special populations and post-rehabilitative exercise guidelines while presenting for the class as well. Having had extensive knowledge of the human body and the ways in which it is affected by both health and chronic illness, Jeff earned certification in the following areas:
