About the Owner

Rod Stanley, Owner Health ANd Fitness Professional

During my service in the U.S. Marine Corps, I realized my passion for working out. After sustaining an injury, working out became an integral part of healing my body and mind. I wanted to help others feel the same success and started working through numerous courses and certifications to become a Master Trainer, I developed a knowledge base and a new appreciation for what it means to excel at training others.

Since that time, I have had the privilege to help more than 500 clients improve their quality of life by working toward their goals. There is nothing better than witnessing a person transform physically and mentally right before your eyes! 

Working hard is what I do and who I am, so I challenge myself to deliver results-oriented workouts to  every client. My personal journey through training myself  has taught  me how to tailor movement programs for any fitness level. I have the flexibility and experience to adjust your session on the fly, to ensure we have just the right movements for you.

Success Story

Troy Oswalt

Prior to working with Rod, I had Type II diabetes, was severely overweight and had high blood pressure. After training with Rod, following his meal plans and understanding my connections to food, I lost 60 pounds, but gained my life back. I no longer have diabetes and the need for my medication.
