More About Tim

Tim’s love of fitness began in childhood as his athletic pursuits gave him an early interest and understanding of human performance.  Tim sought further understanding from physical therapists and advanced educators in the medical community as well as taking courses in Athletic training at the College of Charleston. 

Internationally, Tim has been fortunate enough to educate in gyms, studios, and trade shows around the world. From Germany, The Netherlands, Philipines, Japan, China, Singapore, Thailand, Brazil, Newfoundland, Canada, and much of the US. 

In early 2000, after being employed by a few failing fitness centers, Tim started studying business and culture, learning about mistakes many fitness businesses make, including many of his own. This led him to seek out others in the industry. He started traveling in 2007. Tim found himself among the most successful people in the fitness industry. He would catch them in conference hallways to ask questions or eavesdrop on their conversations or bribe them to have a beer with him to pick their intellectual pockets. 

Tim continues to combine his love for the human potential with sound business principles.  He enjoys teaching and developing young trainers and FIT-preneurs. 

In 1996, Tim made a move to Charleston to work in fitness full-time. Charleston and the fitness industry has been a tremendous full-time career ever since. Other than delivering newspapers in old mount pleasant for the first 6 months, Tim has done nothing but fitness. 

Tim is more excited about the industry today than ever before. “The combination of mass awareness and easily accessible information has created exponential growth in our industry.”
