 Brian
Mahoney
Owner
Brian has made it his goal to bring the world of fitness to as many people
as possible. He has been working out since the age of 10 when he started running
school marathons with his father. “I fell in love with fitness when I realized
how good it felt mentally to accomplish something physically.” From there,
he progressed to sports, weight training, and finally making it his life’s
passion.
Brian grew up in Las Vegas in the casino industry. After operating two small
casinos for nearly 12 years, he witnessed on a daily basis the damaging effects
of what living an unhealthy lifestyle had on his customers. “ I would
watch people that I came to know and love, destroying their bodies with alcohol,
smoking, fast food, and the stress of winning and losing. I decided that I did
not want to be a contributing factor to the deterioration of people’s health.” Brian
left the industry in search of a way to help people live healthy, rewarding lives. “Fitness
Together is a vehicle for me to bring the trainers and clients together to achieve
their goals and better their lives. I couldn’t imagine a more gratifying
way to live my life.”
