Todd Soura

Todd founded Action Personal Training 15 years ago. He’s been a personal trainer for the last 25 years, certified by the Aerobic & Fitness Association of America. A student of exercise and nutrition, he’s learned that there’s no one-size-fits-all training regimen. Though, regardless of the motivation, we all share a common goal. “Exercise isn’t meant to help you live longer,” he says. “It’s mean to help you live better.” And a big part in getting there is believing that every step (or rep) counts. “When I’m grinding through my own workouts, I hear Mickey’s voice from the Rockymovies in the back of my head saying, ‘Get up, Rock! Get up!’ As long as I gave it everything I had, I’m never disappointed. And I expect the same of my clients. Every time out doesn’t need to be a PR. It just needs to be your personal best for that particular moment.” A couple of little-known facts about Todd: He studied physics and finance, even had a Series 6 license at one point. He married his high school sweetheart. They’ve been together for 30 years, married for 20. And he describes himself as a “Christmas Light Extremist.” He and his family spend a full month stringing lights everywhere. And still, somehow, his neighbors adore him.
