About Physical Wellness Solutions

My name is Ethan Schlemer...

My name is Ethan Schlemer, born and raised in Fort Collins, Colorado. I grew up rock climbing, caving, and spending hours at the local roller rink.

In 2012, I was diagnosed with cancer in my left leg. After a failed reconstruction, I chose to amputate above the knee in 2014.

During recovery, personal trainers helped me rebuild strength and confidence. That experience inspired me to become a trainer myself—to show others how fitness can empower them to overcome setbacks and take control of their lives.

We can’t always avoid pain, but we can train to rise above it.
