I'm Dr. Adam. Originally from Arkansas, I met my wife in a running club in Ohio while going to PT school. We moved here in 2020 to be near family. I began my therapy career as a PTA in 2010 then graduated PT school in 2019. Growing up playing multiple sports, I have experienced my fair share of injuries including surgical and non-surgical. Looking back on those experiences, I did not receive the rehab and education I needed to improve my condition and prevent future injury. Educating is as critical a component to rehab as the exercises themselves. I strive to ensure the client understands not only the exercises but why they are chosen. I continue to educate myself on my training to avoid injuries in the sports I still enjoy: weight lifting, running, and golf. For any golfers out there, come by for a TPI screen as I am Titliest Performance Institute Medical Level 2 certified.

I am originally from Kentucky and joined the Legendary Performance team in September of 2023. I graduated from Jefferson Community and Technical College in Louisville, Ky in 2021 where I received my degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant. I enjoy helping patients get back to doing what they love without pain. I am passionate about working with athletes and helping them return to sport. In my free time I enjoy going to the beach, traveling, hiking, playing basketball, and going to church.
I‘m Chloe! I’m from Gainesville, Florida (Go Gators!) and moved to Pensacola in 2020. After becoming CPT certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine in 2019, I began my career as a Personal Trainer in 2020. I also obtained a BS in Exercise Science from UWF. I found an interest in fitness and education when I first began college, and channeled a passion for teaching and exercise into a career in helping people achieve their health and fitness goals. Over the last 3.5 years, I’ve had the pleasure to train clients of different fitness levels, and have appreciated the opportunity to get to know each of them personally, and to assist them on their fitness journey. I joined the Legendary Team earlier this year and have enjoyed the incredible opportunity to work alongside such great PTs and PTAs and to learn from them every day. When I’m not working, I love going on trail walks with my dog, going to the beach, or hanging out with friends.
I’m Sally, born and raised here in the Pensacola area. I have had the privilege of being a part of the legendary team since 2020, starting as a client support specialist. I have been in the USAF Reserves for 18 years. I first started my journey with preventative health in 2010 after I had my son. I struggled to pass the PT test for the Air Force, and after working with a personal trainer, I fell in love with helping others and teaching them how to care for their bodies. I started with a personal trainer certification from ISSA, and also a nutrition specialist certification. I graduated with a bachelors in exercise science from UWF in 2021, and am currently working on my master’s in athletic training also at UWF. I love learning new things and can’t wait to expand our capabilities here at Legendary. When I am not at work (or school), I am spending time with my family making memories. I love the outdoors, hunting, fishing, hiking, boating, anything that will get me outside.
I’m Jane, a Client Support Specialist at Legendary! Originally from Indiana, I have a bachelors of science in environmental management and biology from Indiana University. Go Hoosiers! After graduating, I worked in hospitals as a rehabilitation technician in Indiana and Colorado. This experience and past experiences with physical therapy for injury inspired me to pursue Physical Therapy. Currently I am in school and preparing to apply to PT programs. I joined the Legendary team this past July and have enjoyed learning from the team!
