My name is Tywin Kalandyk, and my journey began with overwhelming odds. Born into the world as a drug- and alcohol-exposed infant, I was immediately placed in foster care and later adopted. Despite these early challenges, I discovered a passion for sports and thrived—ultimately earning a full-ride scholarship to play Division 1 football...
After college, I entered the corporate world. However, I quickly realized that it wasn’t aligned with my values or vision. This led me to follow my true calling: entrepreneurship.
At the age of 27, I transitioned into the fitness industry. Now at 40, I’ve spent over a decade helping others transform their bodies and lives through health, wellness, and strength coaching. My journey through adversity has shaped my mission: to empower individuals to overcome their own challenges and reach their full potential—both mentally and physically.
