Hi, I’m Johnny Calhoun, and I’ve called Raleigh, North Carolina home since 2001. Originally from the mountains of Prestonsburg, Kentucky, I’ve been passionate about fitness my entire life—from football and powerlifting in college to a 30+ year career helping others get stronger, healthier, and more confident. I hold a degree in Recreational Therapy and Health Education from Morehead State University and retired after 21 years as a Federal Officer specializing in fitness and health education.

I’m certified as a Master Personal Trainer through NFPT, with specialties in functional training, endurance, strength, and nutrition. I also hold advanced credentials in cancer recovery, multiple sclerosis, senior fitness, and therapeutic exercise. My programs serve everyone—from youth and athletes to seniors and special populations—and include bodyweight, circuit, TRX, kettlebell, and sports-specific training. My goal is simple: to help every client feel capable, confident, and inspired to live their healthiest life.

Hi, I’m Joe, one of the founders of phyt.live. My background is in web design, content management, and social media marketing, but my true motivation for starting phyt.live comes from a lifelong passion for health and fitness. After years of participating in endurance sports—including 135 marathons and 65 ultramarathons—I’ve seen firsthand how fitness can transform not only the body but also the mind and overall quality of life.

Through phyt.live, I wanted to create a platform that connects clients with  people with knowledgeable, certified trainers who can help them achieve their fitness and wellness goals—no matter where they are. My goal is to make expert guidance more accessible and to help others experience the same sense of fulfillment. accomplishment and confidence that fitness has given me.
