Erkan Gunes

Erkan has been in the fitness industry for over 15 years. He attended the world’s first osteopathic medical school, A. T. Still University, obtained a Master of Science in Human Movement. He currently works at Six Senses Kaplankaya, a wellness resort as the Director of Exercise Physiology.

Erkan holds a certification as a Board-Certified Exercise Physiologist as well as a Personal Trainer from the American Council on Exercise. In 2010, he completed the Fitness Specialist program through Miramar College. Erkan felt a need for a new approach to wellness that filled in the gaps between traditional western medicine, physical therapy, chiropractic, and personal training. Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) was the modality that proved to fill the gaps.

While having a full schedule, he continues to pursue adjunct course work ranging from neurophysiology to biomechanics. He is a true believer that constant perseverance to get better is one of the purposes why we are here on this planet.
