GIVING YOU RESULTS!
Hi, I’m Tonya Tittle, Owner of Energy Fitness, mom of 2 boys, wife, athlete and fitness professional with 30+ years experience in the fitness industry. I’ve been involved with sports since the age of 14. Since 2002 I’ve brought passion for fitness and customer-service excellence to Energy Fitness. Tonya loves teaching a holistic approach to fitness and nutrition while inspiring her clients to believe in themselves.
“I loved having a boutique fitness studio in Downtown Memphis, Tennessee from 2002 to the end of February 2021. It helped me and my family be part of helping make the community healthier and finding lifelong friends. We relocated the studio in March 2021 and currently undergoing construction to the new space in Greenville, South Carolina (Travelers Rest area). Estimated time of construction completion is Summer 2023. We look forward to being involved and making a difference in our new community.

As stated longer in the staff page….
“I believe that everyone has a potential to reach their goals by taking accountability and learning to adopt healthier behaviors. I am a tough trainer and have high expectations for my clients. One of our client’s affectionately refers to me as ‘head master’; however, I like to be called ‘Coach’ because after all, a personal trainer is working with you and your individual needs. I have a soft spot for my older clients because you can see the impact on daily living that a regular exercise routine has for this special population.”
