ASK ABOUT OUR
WEEKLY AND DAILY PASSES
Smart Strength Fitness is owned and operated by fitness
professional Carl Ettlinger. Over the past 12 years Carl has
focused all his time and energy to his passion for health
and fitness.
Carl’s fitness career started as an athlete in high school where
he played football and Lacrosse. His senior year he earned All
American status as a running back. He was also selected to
play in the Shriners Maple Sugar Bowl. This game pits the top
players in New England against each other with the purpose of
raising funds for the Shriners Children’s Hospital. Carl went on
to play Division 1 football for the University of Northern Colorado.
During his Freshman year Carl was involved in a serious car
accident. He injured his back and almost lost his left arm. This ended his football career but not his passion for health and fitness. Carl fought back after over a month in the hospital Carl began rehabilitating his body. Within 3 months he was back in the gym. Now instead of a sport specific style of training he focused his efforts into a more holistic approach strengthening and conditioning every muscle group in his body very systematically. This helped prevent any further injuries related to his car accident.
The following year Carl transferred to Western State Collage of Colorado where he studied sports science and recreation. After completion of his studies Carl began his career as a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer and Nutritional Consultant through the NABF; all the while using his own personal experience as the motivation for his studies. Carl was hired by the Athletic Club of Vermont as a personal trainer and staff manager. During which time he mentored underneath highly recognized body builder Kelly Short. Carl helped her open the Athletic Club of Vermont learning what it takes to start a successful health club. In addition Mrs short taught him how to train for a bodybuilding competition something he had always wanted to do. He competed in his first show in 2002 taking first place in the Mens Novice division and runner-up in the light heavyweight division. The following year with Mrs. Shorts help Carl won the overall N.B.A. (Natural Bodybuilding Association) he has competed in numorous competitions since and either won or was runner up in all of them. In 2004 Carl Moved to Carolina Beach and started his own Health club and named it Smart Strength Fitness and nutritional consulting.
Carl personally hand picked each piece of equipment that will be offered at SSF. “I picked each piece of equipment based on their quality of craftsmanship, range of motion and diverse exercise options.” As owner and operator of Smart Strength Fitness Carl Ettlinger looks forward to Helping you exceed you personal fitness goals.
