Tovi Eliasen graduated from Westmont College in Santa Barbara in 2005, where he studied Kinesiology and Communications.  He is a native of the Bay Area, specifically Pleasanton in the Easy Bay.

Post college, Tovi enjoyed coaching soccer, where his interest in training came to the forefront.  Working with the large group was an incredible experience, but Tovi desired the depth and intensity of one-on-one training, creating a more controlled environment more conducive to success.

Personal Training was a perfect fit, and therefore he obtained his first certification from the American Council on Exercise in 2005, and went to work with a local gym in Pleasanton.

In July 2006, Tovi got married, and moved permanently to Santa Barbara, where he started working as a trainer for Goleta Valley Athletic Club.  During that time he obtained his second certification, from the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

In March 2007, Tovi shifted focus solely on Cool Brook Fitness, where he is currently excited for the challenges of the summer.  In June 2008, CBF starting taking clients at "The Training Room", in addition to his private studio in Goleta.
