About Me

Hi, my name is Corey DuBois, and I live in Southern Illinois with my beautiful wife, Britney, and our four amazing kids. I’m a God-fearing, blue-collar man who works full-time on a riverboat, enjoys a cold beer from time to time, and loves watching football with my family.

I’ve always been fascinated by both the challenge and the science behind fitness, but my greatest passion is helping others reach their goals and fall in love with fitness the way I have. I know firsthand how hard it can be to balance work, family, and gym time—and yes, I also know the struggle of keeping your kids’ snacks in the pantry without eating them yourself!

My fitness journey has had its ups and downs. In high school, I weighed 260 lbs at just 5’6”. My lifelong dream was to join the Army, but my weight was holding me back. Through prayer, self-education, consistent exercise, and a balanced diet, I dropped to 156 lbs and enlisted—without a trainer, pre-made plans, or shortcuts.

Fast forward about 10 years after the military, life got in the way and I found myself at 280 lbs. I knew it was time for a change. I cleaned up my eating habits, got back in the gym, and reignited my passion for fitness—this time earning my Personal Trainer Certification so I could help others do the same.

Today, I’m at a healthy, comfortable weight where I feel my best, and that’s exactly what I want for every one of my clients. My mission is simple: to help you become the best version of yourself. You’ll always have my full support—my phone number, my email, and my commitment to be there for you every step of the way.

I care more about your results than money or popularity. This is a journey we take together.
