Justin Smith is a graduate of the University of Kentucky with a degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science. He was a Division I athlete at UK where he discovered his passion for being in and around the weight room. After graduating, he moved to Central Florida to begin his career training athletes and building programs to fit their needs and help them accomplish their goals. Over the last 15 years, Justin has had the opportunity to work with both developing and high-level athletes across numerous sports, including MLB All-Stars and PGA Tour Pros. He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, Level 1 Fitness Coach through the Titleist Performance Institute, and Certified Physical Preparation Specialist through Joe Defranco and Jim Smith.

Haleigh Smith is a former Division I swimmer whose love of swimming drove her to pursue coaching at the Age Group level after her collegiate career ended. She coupled this with her degree in Accounting for several years before deciding to pursue coaching full time. After two kids, Haleigh got back into the gym following workouts Justin built for her and rekindled her love of lifting. As her confidence in the gym grew beyond what it had been while swimming collegiately, she felt empowered to help other women regain their strength in the gym as well. The gym can be an intimidating and overwhelming place for women when they have no direction, accountability or gym community but Haleigh strives to make it approachable, efficient and dare I say… fun! She focuses on perfecting technique of basic strength training exercises, reconnecting with your core after babies and maintaining mobility and agility as you age.
