Business Owner

Our founder Joe Augustine’s interest in fitness actually began on the business side of the industry when he served as a financial consultant to some of the nation’s best known fitness organizations and equipment manufacturers including Cybex, Nautilus and Global Fitness. Although Joe was the nephew of well-​know 1960’s body builder Roy Cefalu, he didn’t begin weight training himself until 1994 when he met champion body builder and personal trainer Skip Sylvester.

Joe is a summa cum laude graduate of both Bachelors and Master’s programs at Jacksonville University and holds certifications in fitness training, nutrition
