As an LMT and Fitness Trainer, Wilson runs On Point Massage at a private studio five minutes from downtown Camden. He enjoys helping people with chronic stress, orthopedic challenges, sports injuries, acute and chronic illness. Wilson uses various massage techniques for addressing client’s needs and promote self-awareness, including therapeutic massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, acupressure, and sports massage.

Growing up, Wilson developed strong interests in sports and the outdoors. Since then, he has continued to build his interest and education in fitness and wellness. In 2017, he successfully completed an internship at the gym Relentless Strength in Bangor.
There, Wilson learned the many facets involved with Fitness Programming, Training, and Coaching for both one-on-one and group settings. He learned to program for various types of client goals, including those for strength gains, weight-loss, increasing metabolic fitness, and bodybuilding. He also learned how to provide nutritional guidance integrated with client’s exercise regiments.
In 2017, Wilson earned his B.S. in kinesiology, with a concentration in exercise science from the University of Maine.
Up through massage school, he has been working as a fitness instructor at various settings including Infinite Fitness. Cody is now at a private fitness and massage studio in Camden.
