Hei everyone! My name is Michael Calderon. I’m currently an Exercise Physiologist working full-time in cardiac rehabilitation in New Mexico. A little about my background: I have a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and am an ASEP Exercise Physiologist Certified (EPC) and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). I also currently serve as President of the ASEP New Mexico Chapter. Earlier in my career, I had the opportunity to complete a strength and conditioning internship with BARWIS, working within the New York Mets organization. I’ve spent much of my career focused on exercise physiology, behavior change, and working with clinical populations, and I’m now pursuing the CSCS to further strengthen the performance and strength & conditioning side of my skill set. I joined this group to learn from others going through the CSCS process, share resources and study strategies, and hopefully contribute from my own experience as well. Looking forward to connecting with everyone and eventually adding CSCS to the list!
