Jerry Gerlich

Jerry grew up riding bikes, swimming, playing basketball, and playing the drums, which led to a 12-year career in the music industry in Texas and Los Angeles. After 5 bands and a deepening interest in cycling and bike fitting, Jerry moved back to Texas and earned a degree in Kinesiology, with the goal of becoming a cycling coach. His UT internship was an eye-opening experience, when he started working with older clients with health and longevity-related issues. He found that the more he learned about training clients with "tricky issues", the more he enjoyed the path he was on. So much for cycling coach!

Jerry is a founding Castle Hill Fitness staff member and has learned several modalities to help clients during prehab/rehab and procedures, including but not limited to, cancer treatment, joint replacements, plated bones, mild strokes, MS, breast reduction, osteoarthritis, bike fitting, and shoe/insole modifications for leg length differences. As a diagnosed epileptic since 1996, Jerry has learned nuanced techniques for calming the nervous system and improving its function with vibration, rotating magnets, red light, compression sleeves, traction techniques, binaural beats music, and breathing activities. His knowledge, experience, and truly unique techniques, combined with a passion for improved function, posture, and performance, have improved the lives of hundreds of local, national, and international clients.

Cycling and drumming continue to be serious hobbies as Jerry moves through a career in helping others stabilize and move better. He met his wife while attending school, a marriage that has produced two outstanding sons. An epilepsy diagnosis, too many bike crashes to count, and multiple losses, while tough at times, have tempered his approach to life and work. He considers himself lucky to be alive and thrives on helping others find novel ways to help themselves!
