Campbell Lillard

Campbell has been working in both the fitness and nonprofit industries since 2018 after his release from Texas State Prison. During his time in prison, Campbell realized that there was much about himself he did not like, however training showed him that he could change if he set an intention and applied work. This realization led him on an obsessive quest to become the best version of himself he possibly could through subjecting himself to stress and challenge. He believes fitness is the relentless pursuit of growth. Today, he is passionate about using his unique life experiences to relate to and empower others. He uses movement as an effective place to start the conversation and believes in showing up 100 percent for his athletes. It is his drive and passion that lead him to Los Angeles to develop and train at the best gym in the world.
