About the Owner
Tony Greene
​
In 1978, at the age of 17, Tony Greene started competing in Power-lifting events. During his first power-lifting meet, he placed in the top three; this sparked Tony's love for power-lifting and ignited a desire to compete.
The beginning stages were difficult and frustrating. Especially, when he realized most athletes were using steroids or other performance enhancing drugs. While Tony rigorously prepared for power-lifting meets, he soon learned about the WNPF, World Natural Power-lifting Federation. The policies of this federation closely aligned with Tony's personal beliefs on power, and building strength the proper (healthy) way.
​
Tony has been competing with the WNPF for more than 20 years now. Since his start, he has conquered many personal goals; he has also claimed 9 state titles, 5 national titles, and 4 world titles. Tony still holds the national and state records for his age and weight. He is still training for power-lifting competitions, and hopes to achieve a new state record in February 2020.
​
If you're a member (or considering a membership), you'll see Tony doing a variety of unique training modalities to prepare his body for competitive power-lifting. If you see him, feel free to encourage him/lift him up. We are a family at this facility, and a little positivity and faith goes a long way in helping others reach their goals. Keep up the good work, Tony!
