Energy Never Stops founder Ernest Spurlock was born in Chicago, raised in Racine, and has lived and trained in Madison, WI for the last 16 years. He is an NAFC certified personal trainer, amateur boxer, and boxing coach, known for his enthusiastic no BS approach. His ability to form effective exercise programs is molded by his life’s experiences and his time with the 5th Marine Corps Regiment, but his love for combat sports was first formed at the age of 9, when his parents enrolled him in taekwondo. Upon discharge from the Marines, Ernest earned his Associate of Arts Degree in video game art and animation before turning his attention back to his health. After a decade spent learning and teaching, he has mastered the ability to safely and effectively teach complex exercises to participants of all fitness levels, from beginner to advanced. His focus on full body functionality is refreshing, motivating, and focused on the things that matter. His programs include both combat based and conventional exercises, promoting balance, strength, endurance, and, above all, knowledge and empowerment. Ernest’s teachings are born of experience, competition tested, and have been beneficial to hundreds of clients at places like Orthdx Natural Fitness, Peter Krause Fitness, Canvas Club, Omni Fight Club, and many others. Some of his other notable accolades are his motion capture acting with Mad Marker studios.
When Ernest isn’t training clients, or himself for an upcoming contest, his hobbies include reading a new book, meditating, spending time with his puppy Jada, or expanding his artistic abilities with different 2D & 3D mediums. His energy will motivate, support, and carry you to the version of your best self.
