Bio:
Anthony Renna has been a personal trainer since 2004, first working with Equinox, then on his own at different facilities before opening his own gym, Five Iron Fitness, in 2008.

His mission is to help them find success and make an impact in the world by sharing all he has learned from the best of the best.
As the founder and host of both the Strength Coach Podcast and Strength Coach TV, he has interviewed hundreds of strength coaches, fitness professionals, physical therapists and gym owners. He applies what he learned by helping fitness professionals in his personal coaching and accountability group.
Anthony still trains clients a few hours a week and is a partner with Michael Boyle in StrengthCoach.com and BodyByBoyleOnline.com
His new book Be Like the Best: A Guide to Reaching the Top in the Fitness Profession is out October 18.  www.BeLiketheBest.com
