Bobby Neely

Having been actively involved in team sports since the age of five and strength training from 13, it was no surprise to anyone who knew him (or had competed against him!) when Bobby became an All American High School Football player. His sporting career continued to flourish when he was recruited out of high school to play professional baseball, but Bobby decided his passion belonged on the football field and he went on to get a full athletic scholarship for the University of Virginia in 1992 and started for the team as a true freshman during his rookie year.  Following a successful college career as a Tight End at UVA, Bobby made the impressive leap into the NFL when he was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 1996 and started in the Tight End position.

When his football career ended due to injury, Bobby decided to move to Los Angeles and use the skills he’d learned on the field and in the weight room to educate and inspire others about the joys and benefits of cardio fitness and strength training. He quickly developed a dedicated following of private clients and fans of his unique ‘Tight End Zone’ class, the first of its kind to incorporate football style speed drills and strength training into a fun and intense workout for both men and women.

Bobby’s positive attitude, out-going personality, witty sense of humor and innovative training techniques mean that no one workout is ever the same as another, which keep his clients’ bodies and minds always guessing! His passion and knowledge for health and fitness combined with his commitment to the well-being of his client’s and their families take him from being merely a trainer to becoming an integral part of their lives. Bobby’s sporting background has provided him with inside-knowledge of nutrition, injury rehabilitation, and how to inspire people of all ages and experience to reach their optimum fitness level so that they can live life to the fullest.

No stranger to the media spotlight, Bobby’s fitness expertise has been featured in SELF Magazine, People, In Touch Weekly, the New York Post and the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, while he has also appeared on ESPN News, Fox Sports and Sports Center.   Bobby is also a certified member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
