FLYNN HEALD
FOUNDER & DIRECTOR OF PERFORMANCE & RECRUITING
I'm a Certified trainer & performance specialist in West Des Moines, IA. I'm also a former division 1 wide receiver at William & Mary where I received a Bachelor's degree in kinesiology. After graduating from school as a 2X Conference Champion & getting my coaching license, I had a vision to use my passion for working out and coaching the game of football to create Level Up.
As a Certified Trainer, my goal is to provide the athletes with a premium program built around explosiveness, agility, speed, mobility & skill-specific movements. I believe everybody's an athlete. Whether your goal is division 1 athletics, making the varsity squad, or just starting out, everybody can
Level Up.

I am an independent consultant in digital marketing and work with small to medium-sized businesses specializing in sports and entertainment.

I've since worked as the Executive Producer for a morning television show on the CW, developed several small businesses, and most importantly ... accepted the role as Director of Operations for Level Up.
