Lavonte

Meet Lavonte Hester, our Head Coach! He has a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science, A Master Trainer Through ISSA, and holds certifications with Barbell Rehab and as a Pain Free Performance Coach. With 12 years of fitness experience across different realms—including commercial, corporate, private, and group fitness—his journey was ignited by being a quad-athlete in high school. This later led him to eight years in the United States Army, where he began training troops. Injuries taught him the importance of mobility plus strength training, which he heavily incorporates into his methodology. BFT is a perfect match for him as it has blended the flavors of strength training and cardio, in a progressive way that can be sustained long term. The right intensity, not max intensity stuck with him. He brings a passion to help others succeed by challenging everyone to dig a little bit deeper.
