Tyson Russell
Owner - Coach
Certification:
ISSA CPT 2016
Tyson fell in love with working out at a young age. He quickly realized that strength training gave him an edge in every sport he played. After high school, he went on to play football at McKendree University, where his passion for training only grew stronger.
After his playing days, Tyson earned his Personal Training Certification and began helping others discover their own strength. His favorite part of coaching is seeing people become stronger, more confident, and capable — both in and out of the gym.
Tyson’s favorite style of training is functional fitness — building strength that translates to everyday life.
