Our Coaches
Andrew Noble
Founder
In 2007, within the confines of a conventional big box gym, Andrew and Stacey Noble's paths crossed, setting the stage for what would become Smart Fitness. Fast forward a few years, and a realization dawned on them-the traditional gym model often led people to set unrealistic goals, resulting in unmet expectations and eventual abandonment.
In 2007, within the confines of a conventional big box gym, Andrew and Stacey Noble's paths crossed, setting the stage for what would become Smart Fitness. Fast forward a few years, and a realization dawned on them-the traditional gym model often led people to set unrealistic goals, resulting in unmet expectations and eventual abandonment.
In 2011, Andrew joined forces with a chiropractor, embarking on a new fitness venture-a 20-minute, twice-a-week franchised fitness business. Skepticism initially lingered, but as Andrew delved into the unconventional approach, he discovered the efficacy of realistic goal setting and positive coaching in achieving success. Clients embraced his style of training, and retention rates soared. The turning point came in July 2015 when Smart Fitness opened its doors, equipped with a few pieces of Nautilus equipment, determination, and the unwavering support of clients and staff. The OG founding members, including Lee Cockerell, David Dorman Scott Penyak, Brad Rex, Jean Bevan, Jason Sayers, Kevin Stewart, Mike Murphy, Bill Heichel, Tim Illif, and John Henry. These initial members played a pivotal role in laying the foundation for the gym’s current achievements. The journey continued with hiring challenges and triumphs, finding its stride with coaches Abel Navarro, Jonathan Laracuente and Jared Forward, who embraced Andrew’s innovative ideas. Despite initial skepticism, Andrew’s family stood by, checking in and cheering from the sidelines. And if Andrew happened to forget anyone, well, he blames it on a few too many concussions – forgive him! Fast forward to today, boasting over a decade of training history and multiple Olandos Best Awards, Smart Fitness has evolved its training philosophy into a structured 3-Phase Approach: Adapt, Build, Conquer. Influenced by global training programs, this methodology meets clients where they are and guides them toward their goals. The gym has transformed into a comprehensive performance center, reflecting growth while staying grounded in the commitment to serve clients. As the doors open, Smart Fitness invites everyone to a welcoming atmosphere-a place to let loose, have fun, and accomplish serious fitness goals.
