Today we’d like to introduce you to Jalen Turner.
Hi Jalen, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was born and raised in Ozan, Arkansas. I attended Southern Arkansas University where I got my Bachelors in Exercise Science. Taking what I had learned in college I decided to put my degree to the test and used myself as a Guinea pig. I’ve always been the smaller guy with no muscles so I got tired of being like that and started working out faithfully. After I achieved what I wanted I decided that I wanted to make it a career and became a personal trainer. I have been a personal trainer for 4 years. It has had its ups and downs just like anything else in life but I keep striving. Over the past few years, I have invested in different specializations and certifications to make me a better trainer and help me work with a broader range of clients. I even went back to school and got my Master’s in Kinesiology. The pandemic inspired me to start my own personal training business and I’m so glad that I did. It was the best move for me and a better way for me to leave my mark on the word.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
The road has not been smooth at all! I had no idea how to run a business or what I needed to do, how I would get clients, or anything. It has been a trial-and-error process for me and I’m still learning the ins and outs of having a business. One of the biggest struggles I came across is finding people that needed a Trainer. Most people were uncomfortable with training because of everything that was going on in the world but I took precautions the entire time I trained any of my clients.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Dogg Pound Gainz is a personal trainer business owned and operated by me (Jalen Turner). My certifications are:

I am known for increasing my client’s strength and improving body composition. I am also known for teaching my clients how to train properly and telling them what they are doing and why they are doing it.
My experience and my eagerness to learn more about my profession sets me apart from others. The more I know the better I can service my clients.
The thing I am most proud about brand-wise is the success that I have had with clients and their eagerness to tell their story of how they have improved since working with me.
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
I love music and movies. All types and all genres. Also, I can draw.
