Hiroshi Powell noticed he had a knack for weightlifting, so he swapped the weight machine in his mom's basement for a membership at a pro-level facility. There, Hiroshi began training with national powerlifting champions, learning the secrets of their techniques while building friendships and cultivating his own career in powerlifting and bodybuilding as a nationally ranked powerlifter as well as a competition-level body builder.

The seriousness with which Hiroshi threw himself at his goals, and immersed himself in the fitness field informs his approach as founder-owner of Chiseled Health and Fitness. "Chiseled is not a social club or cookie cutter commercial gym," it bills itself—it's for those serious about their health and training to stay in shape. In place of the hundred-pound rubber chickens dead lifters find at other gyms, guests at Chiseled find a facility fully stocked with professional weight training and cardio essentials. Accented with red trim, the facility's white walls, black mats, and glossy hardwood floors offer a nondistracting environment in which Hiroshi and his three fellow personal trainers customize clients' workouts. Members also complete self-guided routines, and take CrossFit classes.
