I've worked with many personal trainers, both in-person and virtually. What sets Built For the Stage apart from the rest, is Coach Joe's first hand experience as a professional performer. He understands the physical demands of doing a show eight times a week, and what it takes to do condition ourselves in a healthy way. I can't recommend Joe and BFTS enough. The workouts are tailored to you, and they can be adjusted based on your mind, body, and show's current needs. The online app is super user friendly and motivates me to keep track of my progress day to day. I feel so fortunate to be a member of the BFTS family!
Coach Joe Rosko began his professional career as a trainer and actor at the exact same time in 2007. Since then, it has been his mission to build a bridge between the worlds of fitness and theatre. Rosko believed that actors were truly professional athletes but didn't feel as though the theatre community was equipped with the proper resources to train like said athletes. This realization led to the creation of Built for the Stage.
In the past nine years BFTS has had clients represented in over fifty Broadway shows, the West End, and other stages across the globe while training on a fitness app. Rosko and his coaches pride themselves in
having the unique abilities to continue a performer’s fitness progress while they are in or out of a show. All professional athletes train a certain way while in season or out of season, and with actors it’s no different.
