Donald Baker, lovingly known as Coach Baker, is passionate about helping people age gracefully and combat preventable conditions. Coach Baker has over 50 years of experience in the health industry with a focus on nutrition, strength training, and sustaining healthy physiological systems.

Baker’s interest in Biology started in his youth and was encouraged by two men that loved him dearly, his Great Uncle and Grandfather. His focus on Biology became keener in High School as he encountered the tutelage of a college student, Jim Landon. By then, he was hooked.

Donald Baker pursued his education at Concordia University, where he received a BS in Physical Education with a Biology Minor. He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Baker completed training from the Biotics Research Northwest on The Efficiency of Glandular Use.

Donald worked intricately with the launch of the Balance Bar in Carpinteria, CA. This endeavor grew from his relationship with Gene & Joyce Daust, authors of 40-30-30 Nutrition. Customers included national companies and sports nutrition distributors. Coach Baker developed the Weight Control certification and trained Personal Trainers and Retail Specialists from west coast locations.

“Donald knows more about nutrition and how to gain weight, lose weight, and build muscle in order to stay fit throughout your life than anyone I have ever met,” Robert Perry, Owner – Hardbody Fitness Center.
