My Story

About Robin Brockelsby

I’ve spent my entire adult life passionate about movement, health & wellness.

I began my fitness journey shortly after college in the 90’s where I found a love for exercise & nutrition. In late 2018, during a time when I was feeling as strong & healthy as I had ever been (I had just competed in a bodybuilding competition, had hiked Half-Dome, and was biking regularly), what I thought was a sinus infection and bout of vertigo, continued to progress to the point where I had trouble walking, talking, and even feeding myself. In April 2019, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I am now in remission and feeling incredible - in fact, most people that meet me are surprised when I tell them about my health journey. I believe strongly that my recovery/remission is in part due to the healthy lifestyle that I had leading up to my disease diagnosis as well as the lifestyle that I choose to lead. This includes managing my stress levels, daily exercise & movement, and a healthy diet that focuses on non-inflammatory foods.

I haven’t always been a professional Fitness Coach, in fact, I owned a national party rental company for 23 years. After my diagnosis, I decided to sell my high-stress business and focus on my passion. I became a certified personal trainer through the National Association of Sports Medicine in 2019 with a plan to work solely with people living with neurological conditions (MS, Parkinson’s, Strokes, etc).  After joining the management team of Saint Mary’s Fitness Center, I found another joy, working with Seniors and teaching Group exercises.

I now have this incredible opportunity to share my passion and inspire others to embrace exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Love what you do and do what you love. This 2nd career is not only something I love, it is my passion. I hope you will give me the opportunity to share that passion with you.
