About

My story proves that even the least likely of people can achieve anything through hard work

I’m Joe Schmidt, an American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Certified Personal Trainer based in Orlando. Originally from Jacksonville, I grew up with a deep love for football—but I was always the smallest and weakest on the team. Overlooked and underestimated, I used that adversity as fuel. Weightlifting became my outlet, helping me turn my biggest insecurity into my greatest strength.

I earned my degree in Kinesiology from the University of Central Florida and became a certified personal trainer to help others achieve what I once thought was impossible. Whether you’re a competitive athlete, aspiring bodybuilder, powerlifter, or someone ready to reclaim their health, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

With me, you’re not getting a cookie-cutter plan or big-box gym experience—you’re getting personalized, science-based coaching designed around your goals. From fat loss and muscle building to strength training and nutrition, I provide real results at a fraction of the cost of corporate gyms. You’ll receive hands-on support, expert programming, and unmatched accountability in a way that chain gyms simply can’t offer.

Let’s eliminate the guesswork, maximize your time in the gym, and unlock your full potential—together.
