Meet the Owners

Tyson & Elizabeth Russell

Hey there! We’re Tyson and Elizabeth Russell, the proud owners of Southside Strength & Conditioning.

Our passion for fitness started young but truly grew when we met in 2016 while living in Nashville, TN. From day one, we shared a dream of owning a gym and building a community around strength, health, and hard work.

After Liz graduated from Belmont University in 2018 with a degree in Exercise Science, we decided to move back home to be closer to family. We’ve always loved Red Bud and its small-town charm — and we wanted to give back by opening the area’s first 24/7 gym.

Our goal has always been simple: to help others become stronger — both physically and mentally — in a welcoming, family-like environment.
