TJ Ballard, M.Ed, CSCS
TJ Ballard brings over 25 years of coaching experience to his role as owner and lead trainer at Fitclub in Hendersonville, NC. A native of East Flat Rock and graduate of East Henderson High School, TJ's passion for fitness and athletics has been lifelong, shaped by his years playing football and baseball throughout his academic career.
With a Bachelor of Science in Education (K-12 Physical Education) from The University of West Alabama and a Master's in Education (Curriculum and Instruction) from North Greenville University, TJ combines his educational expertise with his athletic background to create comprehensive, science-based fitness programs. As a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), he possesses the advanced knowledge and skills necessary to design and implement safe, effective training programs for clients of all fitness levels.
Before founding Fitclub in 2014, TJ spent 11 years giving back to his community as a football coach at his alma mater while simultaneously serving as a Physical Education teacher at Hillandale Elementary School. This experience reinforced his belief in the transformative power of physical fitness and proper instruction at any age.
At Fitclub, TJ's mission extends beyond physical transformation. He created this space with the vision of serving the community and helping members grow both physically and spiritually. As a certified advisor within the 1st Phorm app, he provides detailed nutritional guidance, helping clients optimize their diet through whole foods and strategic supplementation to ensure proper macro and micronutrient intake.
TJ's approach is comprehensive and personalized, whether your goal is weight loss, muscle gain, or overall wellness. He and Team Fitclub are committed to supporting members of all ages (5-105!) in becoming the best versions of themselves through accountability, community, and expert guidance.
When not training clients, TJ enjoys life with his wife of over 20 years, Brooke, and their two beloved dogs, Annie and Porter. His commitment to family and community values shapes the welcoming, supportive environment that makes Fitclub unique in the Hendersonville fitness community.
