Ty Funderud
My name is Ty Funderud and I am from Huntersville, NC. Growing up, I played just about every sport I could. I was always the smallest kid on every team I played for, so when I reached high school, I resorted to baseball. I played up until my junior year of high school which is when I started having serious back complications. I had to stop playing baseball and start focusing on my recovery, which ultimately led me to learn more about Physical Therapy and Personal Training.
After a while, I became tired of always being the skinniest person everywhere I went, so I started to hit the gym pretty heavily in hopes of getting bigger and stronger. This is when I fell in love with training and knew that I wanted to be centered around fitness. I attended UNCW and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science in May of 2023.
After seeing the results I have attained, and how it changed my mindset, I knew I wanted to offer that to others so they can experience the same feelings. This is when I decided to take the Personal Training route and really start to focus on helping others. Fitness is one of my passions and I look forward to making a difference in the lives of others.
