Troy opened Gym Partner: Personal Training’s first facility on Labor Day 2023 with a clear vision: to create an authentic, personalized training experience where every client receives the individual attention, guidance, and programming they deserve.

After more than five years managing high-intensity group training programs across nine Bailey’s Gym locations, now known as Chuze Fitness, Troy recognized a need for something different—an environment built around truly individualized, one-on-one personal training.

At Gym Partner, you won’t find overcrowded workout spaces, large training groups, fad diets, quick fixes, or one-size-fits-all programs. Instead, every client’s training experience is customized around their goals, fitness level, lifestyle, and individual needs.

Troy is a former Division-I football player and brings more than 10 years of experience in the fitness industry and holds a Bachelor’s degree from Jacksonville University, along with NASM certifications in Personal Training and Corrective Exercise. His experience extends beyond general fitness and personal training into competitive bodybuilding. Troy is a professional bodybuilder across five organizations and has coached athletes through more than 100 bodybuilding competitions, giving him extensive experience in physique development, nutrition, contest preparation, and performance-focused training.

While bodybuilding is one of Troy’s specialties, Gym Partner is built for much more than competitors. Whether your goal is to lose body fat, build muscle, improve strength, move better, increase confidence, prepare for a competition, or simply become a healthier version of yourself, you’re welcome here.

At Gym Partner, the goal is simple: provide real coaching, individualized training, and a personal training experience that is truly personal.
