Chad Marr worked as everything from an in-the-trenches personal trainer to a club manager over his 30-year fitness career. He also met and befriended tons of other coaches, NFL and MLB players, and professional bodybuilders. When the time came to start his own gym, he put his experiences with these athletic titans to good use, designing a comprehensive program emphasizing training principles and fundamentals to push clients from all walks of life to the next level of fitness while minimizing the risk of injury, whether that goal might be losing weight or getting ready for the combine.

Today, Chad and his team live by the mantra "anyone can make you sweat; we can make you better." Instead of simply focusing on physical development, instructors focus heavily on training, preach mental toughness and motivation, and measure athletic success not only by speed and strength but also by instincts and leadership. In pursuit of this improvement, Chad and his team lead dynamic training classes in a 7,000-square-foot facility—divided into a three-lane track, turf area, and strength-training room—filled with quality equipment to match his teams' professional resumés. They use a variety of training disciplines such as dynamic warm-ups and functional training, utilizing Eleiko weights and helping clients build muscle with the barbells and dumbbells used throughout international competition. When asked about cardio, Chad simply says, “Sprint track and turf, no ellipticals here.”
