So who is Joey Atlas? His picture is to the left, and believe it or not he was the “fat kid” during his childhood. He certainly wasn’t born with the genetics of an athlete or fitness guru, but his desire to get healthy and stop being labeled as fat drove him to accomplish great things.

At a young age he started exercising everyday. His interest in exercise led him to SUNY where he graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science. A few years later he graduated from Long Island University with a Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology. After that he was a personal trainer for a few years until 1999 when he sold his business and moved to Florida to open the GAC Personal Training Studio.
