At Built Strong, our goal is to develop our member’s inner physical and mental strength. We believe that all fitness goals begin by developing both kinds of strength. Our strength is magnified through our community bonds, and at Built Strong we seek to develop a community of like-minded individuals who all value fitness and the freedom that it provides. We do this by taking a comprehensive approach in the services that we offer. In addition to receiving world-class fitness instruction whether it be in personal training or in one of our group fitness classes, our members will also receive nutritional coaching, performance tracking, community support, and current wellness education.

Built Strong was born out of Coach Rob Johnson’s love for helping others. He has a passion for fitness but an even greater passion for people. He believes fitness is a vehicle that allows him to connect with people. He loves the stories, he loves the struggles, and he loves the transformations (big and small). Rob describes his work like this, “I can’t describe how great it feels ending my work day knowing that I was able to assist and/or support someone along their fitness journey.” Rob is a certified NASM and NCI L1. 

The collaboration for Built Strong between Rob and Teresa was born out of their shared philosophy that fitness that fitness is better with a team. They have supported each other in their fitness mindsets, lifestyle, organization, and business. While Rob initially thought of himself as a trainer, in 2014, he envisioned his role as more of a coach, supporting and guiding people along their journey. In 2021, Rob began to envision himself as a fitness educator, and Teresa’s lifelong career as a teacher helped him embrace that role. Now, they see each other as partners in a healthy, balanced lifestyle, and they see Built Strong as a means to coach and educate, and as a way to expand their Fit Family. 

The fitness programs at Built Strong reflect this philosophy and are designed to help members achieve their goals, whether they are to lose weight, build muscle, or to prevent disease. We will provide a safe, fun, and motivating environment where our members and clients can grow in becoming the best version of themselves. Built Strong is a community of like-minded individuals who all value fitness and the freedom that it provides. Whether your goal is making a huge physical transformation, getting off medication, improving your quality of life, preparing for your first 5k, or simply keeping up with your grandkids, Built Strong is the place for you.
