Meet Russ Bonham

Georgia born and bred, Russ Bonham has a different story than most training and coaching associates. He was fortunate enough to have parents who both were athletes (collegiate gymnasts) and then both went on to work in the health and fitness industry (dad as a coach and mom as a physical therapist). This set him up for a lifelong education in body movement and biomechanics.

Growing up with a passion for athletics he became involved in many sports including cross country, gymnastics, track and field & wrestling. Russ has a personal coaching career in gymnastics and was a fitness trainer in his eight years as a U.S. Marine. Russ received his B.S. from Georgia Southern University.

The training philosophy that Russ follows has a large background in functional fitness with time spent heavily in bodyweight mechanics and kettlebell training. Russ believes that the body is capable of miraculous things when balance is continually sought after. Some of his most used exercises involve different variations of planks, kettlebell flows, core stabilization exercises and mobilization through end-range strengthening and isometrics.

“Keep chipping away and your masterpiece will be revealed.”

Testimonials
Janet Watts

Russ is an individual who delivers results. In the two years he has worked with me my posture has improved significantly, my core is at least 30% stronger, my back strength and mobility has improved, and an old knee injury that has limited my knee flexion has improved by several degrees. What I find remarkable about Russ is his ability to analyze the human body and find the weak link or the limitations to full movement and systematically go about addressing whatever issues exist. This may involve balancing out muscle groups, it may involve increasing joint mobility, or stretching, or strengthening, or any number of techniques to improve functionality. Russ has a great personality and therefore is fun to work with, he has the patience and knowledge to take you where you want to go so that you can enjoy an enlivened active life or, take your athletic performance to the next level.

When starting with Russ I was in awful shape and highly de-conditioned. I had been struggling with lower back pain. I had also neglected my physical health for a few years. After a short period with Russ, he got an understanding on what was causing my back pain. I was then programmed a regimen that worked great. My back pain has been relieved from the training and stretches he’s taught me. I’ve learned techniques I can use in my everyday life to protect my back from injury. Now that my back pain is gone I’ve been able to focus on weight loss and overall health. I’m down to my lowest weight in years. I started living a more active life and have enjoyed the stamina I’ve gained for all sorts of activities. I’m thankful for Russ being patient with me and helping me live a more active life.
