MARK PELTIER
Co-Founder
Mark Peltier has been involved in athletics and fitness his entire life. He found strength training and powerlifting while still in high school playing football where he competed regularly at the scholastic level. He found Brazilian jiu-jitsu in 2007 and fell in love with the art, eventually achieving the rank of black belt. He picked back up strength training to help with his jiu-jitsu and while training he fell in love with it all over again.
Now, Mark is a competitive powerlifter and a USA Powerlifting Certified Senior National Level Coach. He's always around TBS giving training tips, helping with technique, spotting, encouraging, and training himself and with the family.
