Coach
I was born and raised in Orange County, California. Growing up I played sports and was interested in multiple possible career paths. But, the only thing that was constant was my love for training and going to the gym. So I decided to make it my career! I completed my certification as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and my B.S. in Kinesiology from Cal Baptist University. When I’m not coaching, my favorite thing to do is be with my wife and three kids. And if you are interested in bringing me some food, I won’t turn down a breakfast burrito.
Coach
My name is Hunter Campbell and although I currently live in Cookeville, TN, I was born and raised in Sharpsburg, GA. I played baseball my entire childhood and into college, and my involvement in sport introduced me to fitness. I fell in love with fitness from the get-go. I have always enjoyed moving my body and hitting a hard workout, but even more than that I love helping others pursue their own fitness goals. If I’m not at the gym, I’m probably spending time with my wife and our two very spoiled French Bulldogs. I can’t wait to see you in one of my classes!

Born and raised in regional Australia, Inverell, New South Wales to be precise, I was surrounded by sport as a youth. This, along with a healthy dose of Schwarzenegger movies developed in me a passion for fitness and personal development. As we’ve moved to America, Iron Tribe has proven a perfect fit. I have my FMA strength Coach level 1 certificate as well Scientific Back Conditioning, Scientific Core Conditioning, and Precision Nutrition Level 1.
Outside of coaching, I love movies, playing the drums and hanging out with my wife and boys as well as drinking coffee, and searching for Nashville’s best burger joints.

I am originally from Rome, Ga but have lived throughout all parts of Georgia and spent some time in Colorado. I got into fitness to help people move more often, eat better, and find a fun community. While not in the gym I enjoy time with my wife and two dogs. I love all Mediterranean food but especially gyros! I have a Master of Divinity, Master of Theology, Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible ABD, ISSA Personal Trainer, TRX Certified, and Precision Nutrition Level 1 certification. I am passionate about helping people change their lives and for me a fitness community is a great place to do that.

I’m originally from Toledo, Ohio where I obtained my BA in Communications at the University of Toledo. I had always played sports growing up but fell in love with fitness when I saw how it changed my life in 2010 and I am still in this industry today because of all the lives I get to help change. I realized I wanted to make a career out of fitness so I continued to graduate school at Michigan State University where I majored in Health Communication: Fitness and Wellness. I’ve been certified in personal training through the American Council on Exercise as well as nutrition counseling. As the manager of Iron Tribe Belmont, I get to mentor my team and start the life changing journey of Iron Tribe with new members. I love pizza, sports, playing golf and hanging out with my wife and our 2 children!

My name is Jason Rodgers, and I was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. I attended Belmont University to study Commercial Vocal Performance, before transferring to University of Memphis to major in Music Business. Before starting at the University of Memphis, I had a semester off where my fitness journey began. My best friend strong armed me into joining a local gym for a 4 week challenge. Much to my surprise, at the time, I fell in love with it. I worked there for a year, and during that time saw a full physical, and mental, transformation. When the owner approached me about training to become a coach, I couldn’t say no! Since then, I have received a Crossfit Level 1 and Level 2 certification, a USAW Level 1 Certification, and Personal Training and Corrective Exercise Certifications from NASM. My true passion in fitness is helping others to find a path towards living their life the way they want to, without the burden of pain, or physical limitation. Outside of coaching, I am a musician. I am a professional vocalist, a keyboard hobbyist, and songwriter. I also love to cook, and, on weekends, play some incredibly mediocre golf.
Manager
Originally from Philadelphia but spent my college days in South Jersey where I obtained my degree in Health and Exercise Science. I spent most of my life playing football and basketball and after being undersized my entire childhood it led me to pursuing a career in fitness. My background started in collegiate strength in conditioning where I spent 4 seasons with various D1 universities. Certification wise I hold 2 different Strength and Conditioning Certs, FMS Level 1, and Precision Nutrition Level 1.
Outside of work I’m passionate about music playing drums, guitar, and a little bit of piano. I also love enjoy golfing, being around good friends, or taking my two golden retrievers on an outdoor adventure. Favorite food is always a tough one but id have to say it’s hard for me to turn down Edleys BBQ in Sylvan!
