Keith got into training mostly in response to recovering from a knee injury that he sustained from following poor fitness advice and programing. He took it upon myself to learn as much as he could about not only the foundational strength and conditioning work but also about how the body's stabilizers work in conjunction. Then, he started putting that knowledge into practice. The reason he loves fitness& training is because it is so practical. Anything you want to do in life from walking around the park, to playing a round golf or a pick-up game of basketball with your friends, to a firefighter carrying a person out of a building can all translate back to fitness training. To Keith, the difference between training and working out is training is exercise done with a purpose.

A deep-rooted passion fuels my unwavering dedication to the fitness and wellness industry. I've committed my career to helping individuals transform their health and habits. This dedication has led to coaching clients in various settings, from bustling gyms to the comfort of their homes. In 2006, I took a significant step forward by acquiring the Fitness Together® studio in East Greenwich, RI. This allowed me to implement a personalized approach to fitness through custom workouts in private suites, a method I believe is critical to achieving lasting results. Before venturing into studio ownership, I honed my skills in managing group and individualized fitness services at many notable clubs.. My journey also led me to significant roles, such as serving on the FT Franchisee Advisory Council and mentoring in franchise marketing and retention programs. 2016, my dedication was recognized when my husband Rick and I were honored as FT Franchisees of the Year for our Bethesda, MD, studio.

When she isn't training others, Robin runs, lifts weights, bakes, and travels. Robin primarily spends her free time with her husband Rick and their 6 combined children. She currently resides in Charleston, SC.

Growing up in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Albert had an interest in activity ever since he was able to walk. From constantly playing outside, to competing in multiple sports, to exercising on his own, he’s developed a love for how to improve the body to add healthy years to one's life in the most efficient/fun/sustainable manner possible. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee majoring in Kinesiology and minoring in Nutrition & Psychology. During his time at UWM’s fitness center, he had jobs as a Fitness Attendant, Group Fitness Instructor, Intern, Program Assistant, and Personal Trainer. After college he had the goal of continuing his fitness journey where he knew no one. This goal came into fruition here in Rhode Island at FT.

in my free time I like to
read (balancing fiction & non-fiction), watch movies (from action to rom-com), exercise (enjoy trying new challenges), cook, and learn cool hobbies/habits! The most room for improvement comes from cooking. Some random facts: I love people, visiting different coffee shops, grilling, wearing swim trunks, and much more. Make it good one!
