OUR ORIGIN STORY

In 2014 Phil Schrupp began planting the roots for SOTA Personal Training on a mission to transform people's lives, get out of pain, and change the way they think about sustainable fitness and nutrition forever.

Just a few years before opening SOTA, Phil was struck by a drunk driver, resulting in a fractured spine and several torn shoulder ligaments. After countless physical therapy appointments with unresolved pain, he was eventually told he would have to learn to manage life without resolve.

Only a few weeks after being introduced to strength training, his aches and pains started to disappear, and he was finally able to start living life on his terms again.

He started SOTA in 2017 and has assembled a rockstar team of coaches to motivate, support, and lead our community to success under the same core values.

Phil is a dedicated husband and father of two young daughters. He has shaped the SOTA Personal Training system and processes to help busy parents just like him live a stronger, healthier, more active lifestyle… even with a crazy schedule.

HOW WE CREATE TRANSFORMATIONS

 

From the very beginning, we set out to do more than just get people sweating. So we created a space where everyone feels right at home, welcomed, and comfortable pushing themselves to the next level. A place to sweat out any self-doubt or uncertainty. A place to take back control of your health, one workout at a time.

Every person that walks through our door is treated as an individual—not a number. Personalizing your experience is what allows us to understand your goals and help bridge the gap separating you from them. We’re committed to giving you the highest level of attention and service possible, and to help you feel your absolute best every single day.
