Carly Morgan
I am the owner/operator of Symmetry Fitness located in Morgantown, WV. I am a certified personal trainer through NASM as well as CES and BCS. I am also a FRCms and certified to conduct Functional Range Assessments. In addition, I am a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. I conducted my functional medicine health coaching education through FMCA. My health coaching business "Author of Me" offers online coaching packages. I have worked in the health and wellness field for over 18 years in the Morgantown area. My studio is not a gym open for membership, however, it is the perfect place for clients that wish to be able to have complete privacy and undivided attention while working with a trainer.
I began my journey in the healthcare field in 2005 as a mental health specialist on the Dual Diagnosis Unit at Chestnut Ridge Hospital here in Morgantown, after graduating with a degree in psychology from WVU. I recognized right away that physical activity should be a component of the treatment plan for anyone struggling with mental health issues, particularly those with substance abuse/addiction, anxiety, and depression. Unfortunately, this is not something that happens frequently with mental health treatment. I’m hoping to change that. The privacy that my location has, offers an option to train for those that have difficulties with being in crowded or overstimulated areas. My work experience in mental health offers a different perspective and angle for a population that is remarkably under served.
Although my clients come from a variety of backgrounds with differing goals, my favorite specialty is helping clients restore their range of motion and begin to feel better in their everyday lives. I truly believe that we must mind ourselves to mend ourselves. From a personal level, I understand what a mountain chronic pain and dysfunction can be to climb. I work diligently with my clients to get them mentally and physically in a place that has them enjoying life again. Working out should make you feel better, not worse. My motto is "Train the Brain to Train the Body. Move and Live with Intent".
For clients that live outside of Morgantown, or that wish to train on their own but need guidance, I offer personalized online training that can be easily accessed through an app on a cell phone. As the former director and health educator of the HMR Weight Management program in Morgantown, I have a significant amount of experience with weight management coaching. Although I am no longer affiliated with the HMR program, I do continue to offer weight management health coaching as a service for my clients.

Testimonials
I have been training with Carly for 6 years and believe her to be one of the most experienced and committed trainers around. I highly recommend her to anybody looking for a personal trainer. Through her training, I have become the strongest and healthiest version of myself. Before I started working out with Carly, I had always considered myself healthy and tried to lead an active lifestyle. I accepted and resigned myself to aches/pains as a part of the ‘normal’ aging process. I had back pain and couldn’t sit up straight from a lying position. Since training with Carly, I am happy to say that I am 62 years old and pain free!! Carly is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every training session challenging. I’ve experienced continued improvements in my endurance, agility, strength and overall well-being. She will not let her clients ‘go through the motions’; she has extreme focus on form and has taught me how to use my muscles correctly to my benefit inside and outside of training sessions. I love the fact that she has become a keystone in my life-routine. She has opened a new private training studio which is wonderful! If you are thinking about personal training, you must go train with Carly!
