Meet our Personal Trainers

Mason McGrew

Mason McGrew headshotHello, my name is Mason McGrew and I am an ACSM certified personal trainer. I have been training since 2018 and enjoy working with students, staff, and faculty who are new to exercise and want to learn how to live a healthier life. My passions are related to physical activity, walking, nutrition and chronic disease. I graduated from Bellarmine in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and in 2020 with a Masters of Science in Digital Media and Healthcare. Currently I serve as the Campus Recreation and Wellness Specialist at Bellarmine. My goal when training is to show how beneficial exercise is for your body and how to make it fun and less of a chore. Overall, I love personal training and seeing my clients improve over time makes me enjoy training even more.

Mitchel KithcartHello Knights. My name is Mitchell Kithcart. I am an ISSA-accredited and certified personal trainer. I am a former two-sport collegiate athlete, having been a four-year scholarship member of the wrestling and the cross-country team while being a member of the History Honor Society at the University of the Cumberlands, where I graduated in 2014 with a bachelor’s degree in history. I know from life experience what it's like to balance pursuing fitness goals with having full-time education and employment commitments. I am looking forward to helping the students, faculty, and staff of Bellarmine in achieving their personal health, athletic performance, and fitness goals.
