Why Consider an Inursha Personal Trainer?

  • Motivation - You perform better when you are working with another person, especially someone who wants you to excel.
  • Maximizing Time Efficiency - You save time by having a thorough workout, pre-planned by your personal trainer.
  • Routine Updates - Your personal trainer can revise your program to maximize results and keep your workout fresh and motivating.
  • Coaching - The best athletes in the world have coaches, because coaches make sure you use proper form and technique during all aspects of training. A positive change in technique, however small, can make a big difference in your performance.

Robin Thomas, Owner
Inursha Fitness Personal Trainer Robin Thomas

Robin Thomas, owner of Inursha Fitness in Fort Worth, has educational background in exercise science, is a certified personal trainer and certified sports nutritionist. He is certified in baseball through the MLB Academy and specializes in Sports Specific Training. Having both coached and played baseball for over 30 years, he is knowledgeable and capable of working with athletes of all skill levels - from kids to professionals. In addition to his sports background, Robin was a national level bodybuilder, winning the title of Mr. Texas and finishing in the top three at the American Championships.

He believes that the better the athlete the better the opportunity is to become a great player. Physical limitations can prevent a player from developing into the best they can be. If a player can gain more mobility, core strength, and explosion, he will undoubtedly perform better. I can assure that the top players around the country are training on a regular basis and not just during practice.

Robin takes his diversified experience accumulated over 20 years as professional trainer (owner of Inursha Fitness, 2003-present), collegiate baseball player and professional sports specific athletic trainer into my programs. The programs that he develops are unique because they are based on knowledge from his personal educational background and experience.

It is his goal to provide a functional and safe program for each individual and give them an opportunity to be the best athlete possible.

Crystal's passion for health and fitness stems from the direct impact it has on our daily lives. Exercise enhances every aspect of physical and mental well-being and she strives to create training programs that help clients attain their fullest potential. The body is an amazing machine and you must incorporate exercise and healthy eating to keep that machine running strong! So often, people take their bodies for granted until years of neglect, bad posture and unhealthy eating take their toll.

Glenn Parks
Inursha Fitness Personal Trainer Glenn Parks

As a navy veteran, I discovered my passion for training and assisting others during my time in service. After completing my military duty, I devoted myself to acquiring as much knowledge as possible to make a difference in people's lives. I began by interning for F45, a prominent gym brand, and was offered a job, which I worked at for six months before joining UFC gym to take my training to the next level. After a year with UFC, I decided to start my own business, and it turned out to be the best decision I ever made. For the past year, I have been working independently with my clients, and the results have been remarkable. This opportunity has given me the freedom to assist my clients even more effectively. I am confident that I can be your ideal choice in achieving your fitness goals!
