David J., CPT, CNC

Nutrition Consultant, Certified Personal Trainer

My name is David Johns and I have witnessed first hand the importance of nutrition and exercise in promoting an overall healthy lifestyle. Weighing almost 290lbs at the age of 17 and not able to keep up with friends who were much more fit and active than me, I decided to make a change and turn things around in my life. I lost 120lbs with the right balance of nutrition and fitness and a reinvented attitude. I went from a 44” waist to earning the title of Mr. Teen Utah in 2003. I went on to win 7 natural bodybuilding titles before the age of 20. I also worked as a trainer in a gym for a year and realized that clients weren’t getting the results I knew they were capable of because of a lack of specific nutritional knowledge. I made the move to Total Health and Fitness which teaches a three-fold program that encompasses nutrition, fitness and supplements and have been educating clients on HOW AND WHY they need to eat and exercise to reach their goals. I have met with over 1,000 people with goals ranging from losing 100lb of fat weight to gaining muscle, to winning Olympic gold. My clients come in all shapes and sizes! I LOVE what I do because I make lives better each day in THE BEST facility in the state! I encourage anyone with a fitness/wellness goal to tour our facility and come in for a free introduction to see what a customized nutrition and fitness program can do for changing your life.

Adam C., CPT, CNC

Nutrition Consultant, Certified Personal Trainer

I have always had a passion for health and fitness and received a bachelor’s degree from BYU in Exercise and Wellness, and my CPT from NASM.  After college I chose to pursue my business interest and open up a family restaurant, O’ Crowley Irish Tacos in Utah County. I lived a very busy lifestyle and didn’t really pay attention to my own personal fitness.  I struggled with my health and weight, even though I knew better. I finally decided to get serious and apply my knowledge of nutrition and exercise for my own body transformation. In about 10 months I went from 260 lbs. and 24% body fat, to 195 lbs. and 6% body fat. I enjoyed every minute of my transformation and it deepened my desire to help others and get back into the fitness industry.  I am loving this new lifestyle and working as a consultant at Total Health and Fitness. Going through this process has deepened my desire to help others achieve healthy lifestyles and get great results!

Kala R., MS, RD, CPT

Registered Dietitian, Nutrition consultant, Certified Personal Trainer

I am a Registered Dietitian dedicated to helping people discover lifestyles that align with their physical, mental, social, and cultural needs. Food is fuel but also so much more. My goal is to create a comfortable and encouraging environment, focusing on education, behavioral modifications, and inclusivity to develop sustainable habits.

Although I have a diverse background providing nutrition education to various populations and medical conditions, my specialty is sports nutrition. During my studies in Dietetics, I had the opportunity to intern for two years with Virginia Tech Sports Nutrition, which then inspired me to move to Utah and complete my Master’s degree and dietetic internship in Sports Nutrition. I spent much of my internship at The Orthopedic Specialty Hospital working with youth athletes and the Utah Warriors Major League Rugby team. Prior to working with Total Health and Fitness, I worked at University of Maryland as a Sports Dietitian Fellow overseeing the nutritional care and education for 7 sports teams.

Outside of work, you can (almost) always find me in the mountains either biking, climbing, backpacking, or skiing. My other hobbies include getting creative in the kitchen and volunteering with dog rescue!

I look forward to sharing my knowledge, resources, and professional experiences with you to guide you on your journey with Total Health and Fitness and beyond.

Donna T., CPT, CNC

Manager, Nutrition Consultant, Certified Personal Trainer

Helping others with their Health and Fitness has been a lifelong passion of mine. I recognize that everyone is unique.  This is why I love our program. We get to develop a customized plan together as a team. We identify  personal obstacles / barriers and create a game plan to be achieve lifestyle goals and lifelong success.  It’s important to not only know what the goal is, but how to get there.  I feel it’s also important to create menus and exercise plans that are sustainable – a way of life – by choosing food and activities that are enjoyed!  We can find the “good, better, best” options together.  I also love teaching how to prepare for and  learn from life’s “curve balls” (unexpected events, holidays, travel, etc.).

When not working with clients I love to travel.   I’ve been all over the world – to every continent (except Antarctica), but I especially love traveling to Pittsburgh where I’m from. My favorite spectator sport is Hockey specifically watching the Pittsburgh Penguins.  I also enjoy  hiking, dancing, and hanging out with my German Shepherd and two wonderful kids.

Kaitlin W., RD, CPT

Registered Dietitian, Nutrition consultant, Certified Personal Trainer

Hey, y’all! I’m Kaitlin, and I am a Registered Dietitian, and I’m committed to utilizing realistic, wholesome nutrition to bring out the athlete in us all. My journey started in Heber City, Utah, where my success on the track team took me to the University of Alabama. Once there, I was under a tremendous amount of pressure to perform and balance life, academics, and athletics. This led me into some experiences that many of us can relate to; struggling with weight, seeing food as my enemy, confusion as to what and how much I was supposed to eat, and ultimately, an eating disorder. I tried so hard to restrict foods and count calories to lose weight, but it wasn’t working, and my performance was suffering. After working with the Sports Dietitian there, I came to have a healthy relationship with food, was able to build muscle and lose fat, I felt better, and my performance skyrocketed. 

I went on to become an All-SEC 400 hurdler and 800 runner and was able to compete at the National level. I was also a 4x All-SEC Academic Honor Roll Member as well as a 2x American All-Academic Student-Athlete. I graduated in 2018 with a degree in Food & Nutrition. Being involved with Alabama Athletics gave me the opportunity to see first-hand why proper nutrition is so important, and working with the Sports Dietitians gave me the how. 

Throughout my journey, I eventually came to realize that what we are eating is just as important as how much we are eating. I realized the importance of a Plant-Based/Mediterranean Diet and the positive impact it has on our gut health, performance, and weight. I also realized how important the relationship that we have with food is for our short-term and long-term health.  

We are all athletes in our own way. We all experience that pressure to perform, pull our weight on a team, or simply to be able to bring our best selves to the table, I can help you do that. Together we can improve the way you feel and perform, and help you build muscle, strength, and confidence with even small, simple changes. I believe effective and sustainable nutrition comes from a focus on adding good things to your diet rather than eliminating foods. I’ve seen these changes lead to improvements in weight, mood, mental health, performance, and diabetes, and disease management. So, come see me, and we can bring out the athlete in you.

Austen E., CPT

Nutrition Consultant, Certified Personal Trainer

My name is Austen Edwards, and I am a  trainer at Total Health and Fitness. I initially got into health and fitness to improve my athletic abilities for football and mixed martial arts. I ended up falling in love with the concept of living a healthy lifestyle based on the fact that I could see an improvement in my physical health, mental health, and life overall from making my health a priority. From there, I ended up competing in a few NPC competitions and earning top spots as the youngest competitor on stage & capturing the overall title for teens in the men’s physique category. Since then I have been working with my family and peers around me to live a healthier lifestyle so they could also reap the benefits of having better health. I’ve worked in many supplement shops and gyms, and from there I made the move to Total Health and Fitness so I could have the opportunity to work with more people to help them achieve their health and fitness goals.
