Tanner Johnson

Hello! My name is Tanner Johnson, I just graduated from ISU's Exercise Science Bachelor's program, and am almost completed with my NASM-CPT Personal Training Certification. I've been interning here at Four Seasons full time, and am super excited to begin a part time position coaching classes in The PIT and acquiring personal training clients. I also look to complete my spin cycle certification, so hopefully you'll be seeing me around here a lot!

I've been involved in athletics & training my whole life, beginning my coaching career in high school as a volunteer with youth league football. I played football & lacrosse in high school and have been consistently training on my own ever since, experimenting with a variety of training methods. I use a very adaptive style of coaching, molding to how you as the client prefer to be coached. When training with me, your goals, priorities & preferences will be the main focus of the session programming. 

I believe exercise and physical activity to be the solution to many of the modern world's problems. Whether you're trying to combat the effects of a sedentary occupation or searching for a more positive outlook on yourself, I think taking steps to be physically active will put you on pace to do both of those and more. Whatever your fitness aspirations may be, I'm excited you chose to chase them at Four Seasons, and I hope to see you soon!

Nathan Parker

I am someone who has found a passion for fitness after years of inconsistency. I originally became interested in weightlifting at the age of 14 when I was in FS1, but I was inconsistent and had little idea of what I was doing. Now, I have taken on a mix of strength and hypertrophy (muscle gain) training. I train my clients with the intention of helping them achieve their specific goals and utilize calorie tracking to best control their weight, whether it be to gain muscle or lose fat. My goal is to help people create a solid foundation with proper technique and then push them beyond their comfort zones to reach new levels.

Certification: NCSF Certified

Josh Gross

I am an elementary PE teacher as well as an avid triathlete. My passion for fitness and teaching inspired me to become a personal trainer with the hopes of providing others with the opportunity to learn how to live a healthier and happier life through fitness and exercise. I graduated from Monmouth College with my bachelor’s degree where I studied exercise science and physical education. During my time at Monmouth College, I was also a track and field student athlete where I competed in long jump and mid distance running events. I continue to stay active through golfing, swimming, biking, running, walking, fishing, and strength training. I believe in finding fun ways to train and stay active. I am very excited to be at Four Seasons to help you with your fitness journey, whether you are looking to just get started or want a change from your current routine.

Jenna Beneventi

I recently graduated from Illinois State University with a minor in health and wellness coaching. It was there where I started to develop an even deeper passion for health, fitness, and well-being. I remember my freshman year of college, I would go to the gym because I wanted to lose weight and feel more confident, but I didn’t realize the impact it would have on other areas of my life moving forward. At the time, I started to notice that exercise was becoming my escape, and I started to fall in love with the process. After months of engaging in exercise, I started to notice that not only was I losing weight but that I felt more elevated than I ever have. I was less stressed and in a better mood and overall didn’t feel as groggy as I used to. As a result, I started to feel more confident in myself. That is when I knew that I wanted to make exercise this lifelong lifestyle and investment. It wasn’t until a few years later when I decided that I wanted to help others do the same. In January of 2023, I received my certification through ACE as a personal trainer. By doing so, I aspire to help clients see their potential whether they have many years, some experience, or little to no experience with exercise because we all are at different points and stages in our journey, and I believe that there is always room for growth.
