Why hire a fitness professional?


A certified trainer provides a level of personalization that a group class cannot. By focusing on your specific goals—whether that's recovering from an injury or training for a local event—you'll see faster, safer results.


Choosing a qualified Charleston trainer


Safety and expertise should be your top priorities. Ensure your coach holds a credential from a recognized body such as NASM, ACE, or ACSM. If you are looking for high-performance athletic training, look for an NSCA-certified specialist (CSCS).


Budget-friendly fitness tips


One of the best ways to lower your bill is the hybrid approach. Use a personal trainer for a weekly check-in to perfect your technique, then apply what you've learned in your own solo workouts at the gym or at home.

GodBod Fitness At-Home Personal Trainer

Hi, I'm Ross and I specialize in at-home personal training. Does commuting to the gym or being intimidated by the public atmosphere always get in the way of maintaining the habit? With my in-home personal training service, I come directly to you, providing a customized fitness experience tailored to your needs. Stay consistent, save time, and achieve your fitness goals right from the comfort of your own home. I started bodybuilding when I was 12 years old under the guidance of my older brother and it quickly became one of my life's greatest passions. I have experience training under every fitness philosophy you can name (bodybuidling, powerlifting, crossfit, boxing, kickboxing, yoga, HIIT) and have distilled my 18 years of experience into the top movements that provide maximal result with minimal joint impact in a way that keeps training exciting and prevents boredom and "couch relapse." In addition to all of this elite level training experience, I am a certified ACE pro personal trainer which is one of only two PT certifications recognized by the NCCA. I am also a CPA but I don't want to do your taxes;) My sessions typically consist of strength training, high pace body building, boxing for cardio, and assisted stretching/trigger point therapy at the end, but this can vary depending on the individual client's needs and preferences. I consider weight loss and strength/muscle gain to be particular areas of expertise, however, my extensive and diverse background in this industry has given me the versatility to help anyone achieve their unique goals in fitness and health. I hope to hear from you soon!

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?

I help my clients achieve their fitness goals by meeting them where they're at. I understand fitness isn't fun for everyone so I start slow and increase the intensity when I know my client is ready. If we get hooked on the mental benefits of exercise (more energy, better mood, reduced anxiety/depression, improved self-esteem) the physical are sure to follow. That's the winning mentality I preach to all my clients to keep them motivated even when the scale isn’t going down as quickly as they’d like.

What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?

Establishing a routine that you can realistically stick to the rest of your life because getting a great physique takes a long time, it needs to be a lifestyle not just a program. We have gotten addicted to immediate gratification and that’s why crash dieting or extreme forms of fitness like CrossFit have become alluring to people looking to get in shape FAST. When they don’t see the immediate results they were promised, or they eventually burnout from an extreme diet/fitness program, it becomes an excuse to quit altogether. This is why the solution must reside somewhere in the middle. You can eat whatever you want as long as you stay within your target calories for the day. Exercise will be at a pace you can handle so that you’re motivated to keep coming back. Fitness is a marathon not a sprint. If we are realistic about the process, take it one day at a time, the results will follow.

What do you love most about your job?

What I love most about my job is the look on a clients face after they hit their goal. The type of confidence one gets from achieving their dream physique/restoring their health is like nothing else in life. I love reminding them of the early days and how far they’ve come. I know the confidence gained from making that transformation will translate into every other pursuit in their life and it gives me tremendous pride knowing that.

What inspired you to start your own business?

After a long bout on the couch during the pandemic I found myself stuck in a career I hated, suffering from severe insecurity and anxiety. I coped by overindulging in food and alcohol while watching way too much Netflix. Sound familiar? Luckily I knew that the only way to feel better was to get moving. Drawing on my years of training in a variety of fitness disciplines, I developed a workout that brought me back to health and confidence. I distilled my 18 years of fitness training experience into the top movements that provide maximal result with minimal impact. If I was able to make the transformation, I knew I could do the same for others who feel stuck and unmotivated.

Why should our clients choose you?

Clients should choose me because I have been in their shoes before and can empathize with their struggle. It’s great that some trainers have been in shape their whole life, but if you’ve never been out of shape how can you relate to things such as food addiction, lethargy, depression, anxiety, lack of motivation, fear of physical activity. I understand the mindset of a beginner and am able to coach people not just physically but psychologically as well (the psychology of breaking bad habits and forming new ones, how to look at food differently, preaching the mental over physical benefits of exercise). Any person can find a great workout routine for free online, it’s the psychological coaching that separates the good coaches from the great.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

Yes, I’ve actually had tremendous success with coaching clients virtually. If anything it’s better because you never have an excuse to miss class! Wherever you are at any given time, all you need is a smartphone or laptop and you’re good to go! I will send you a word document which spells out exactly what you need to eat, how many steps to walk per day, and how we will meet 3x per week for a bodyweight workout (I also have an optional equipment list with links to products on Amazon. The equipment is optional but it gives us a lot more options in terms of exercise selection if you do decide to purchase these items.).

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

All sessions are held in a private studio that only my clients have access to. All equipment used during a session is wiped clean and the entire studio is sanitized before closing up for the night. There is a garage door that can be opened to allow for maximal outdoor airflow and sun exposure.
