New year, new faces, so hereās a quick re-introduction šš½
Iām Sam, owner and coach at Day One Fitness. I started this gym to build a welcoming community and a place where real people get coached properly, make progress, and train without feeling intimidated. Too many gyms make people feel lost or overwhelmed, and I wanted to change that.
Iāve been coaching for over 10 years, earned my degree in Kinesiology from MSSU, and received my personal training certification in 2014. Iām also SilverSneakers certified. Iāve trained hundreds of people from ages 12 to 80+, helping each of them reach their goals whether thatās building strength, gaining confidence, or simply learning to enjoy the process of moving their body.
In 2023, I was honored to be a Community Choice Award finalist for Best Trainer in the Ozark area, which I see as a reflection of the incredible relationships built in this community and not just workouts.
My philosophy is simple: fitness is a lifestyle, and everyone starts somewhere. At Day One Fitness, itās about real coaching, real people, and real progress.
No intimidation. No quick fixes. Just showing up, putting in the work, and celebrating progress, no matter how small!
If youāve been thinking about starting or starting again, this is your sign.
