Tony Corong aka Coach Tony

‍

Growing up, I was a chubby kid. I loved eating; specifically large pepperoni pizzas and Spinwheels from the Little Debbie brand all to myself. I also was that kid who had his face glued to the TV screen playing Playstation video games like there was no tomorrow. I was happy until I reached a point where I wasn’t. It was all because of the way I looked. On the hottest days of the year, I wore a big, hefty sweater to cover my belly. It was incredibly draining to the point where I wanted to make major changes in my diet and fitness. Starting this new lifestyle with little to no knowledge of the gym and proper dieting, I went down a path where I began starving myself and doing cardio like it was the only thing going to solve my issues. 

Fortunately, reaching my teen years, my life suddenly shifted from playing video games on the couch to playing a variety of sports such as basketball, flag football, volleyball, soccer, and dance. Out of all those sports, the one thing that stuck out to me was dancing. Dance played such a huge role throughout my life during high school that I wanted to pursue a career where sports and understanding human movement intertwined which had led me into the field of Kinesiology. 

My obsession for dance and Kinesiology grew throughout my collegiate years. Being in the gym for countless hours, studying the human body for the majority of my classes, and dancing on teams in my free time were all my main priorities because I fell in love with the process. I never lost sight in keeping my health in check while simultaneously doing things that I loved doing. 

Which brings me to where I am today. I know that my “glory days” of dancing are over but I believe that my purpose now as a coach is to be able to provide for dancers and athletes alike to reach new levels and express themselves limitlessly. Personally, I know how it feels to be stuck and not have the knowledge to prepare yourself for anything. That’s why I am here to provide that knowledge for you. I guarantee that with the right approach, you will become the person that you were made to be.
