Founder of The V: Premier Group Fitness (TheVFit)
My WHY:
Growing up in the Austell and Powder Springs areas, I was an active individual in what used to be a sedentary town. Engaging in sports such as basketball, football, wrestling, and tennis throughout grade school, I later pursued animation in my early college years. However, my passion quickly shifted to “Health and Exercise Science,” where I delved into body mechanics, cognitive functions, and the overall physiology of the human anatomy.
Driven by a hands-on learning approach, I transitioned to become a Personal Trainer (PT). This allowed me to explore and teach various forms of fitness, all rooted in the principles of functional fitness. I then delved into the philosophies of CrossFit, Boot Camps, and Personal Training Studios, which pushed me towards a deeper understanding of fitness and exercise methodologies.
In 2012, I took a significant step by opening The V: Premier Group Fitness with the intention of guiding the area I grew up in toward a more active and healthier lifestyle. Fast forward to today, the cities of Powder Springs, Hiram, Powder Springs, Austell, and Marietta have become much more active and are embracing life to the fullest. I genuinely believe that our actions have played a crucial role in making this positive transformation possible.

Roshaun Brown
My WHY:
My fitness journey began with high school sports, where I competed in track and cross country, participating in events like the 800, mile, and 2-mile. After high school and college, I sustained my active lifestyle through running, ranging from 5Ks to marathons. Seeking diversity in my fitness routine, I joined CrossFit and remained consistent for a couple of years until a move prompted a temporary break.
The trajectory of my fitness journey took a challenging turn when I tore my ACL in a charity boxing match. Despite this setback, the experience fueled my passion for fitness and revealed the transformative power of functional movements during my recovery.
CrossFit’s functional movements played a pivotal role in surpassing the limitations of traditional physical therapy. Beyond the physical benefits, it was the incredible support and camaraderie within the CrossFit and fitness community that resonated with me. Throughout my injury recovery, the community’s encouragement played a crucial role.
This transformative experience inspired me to become a certified trainer, driven by the goal of helping others achieve their fitness aspirations. My expertise includes refining running form, especially for distance runners, as well as Olympic and powerlifting movements to guide individuals in building strength and skill. Additionally, I excel in core training and nutrition coaching, offering comprehensive support for others to reach their fitness goals.

My WHY:
Growing up I never really worked out if I’m being honest. Played baseball, basketball, and football but never really got the itch to workout outside of practice or games. As I grew older that definitely didn’t change even when I started to play golf in high school and going into college. Remembering the thoughts of “I already hit the ball far, why do I need to workout?” It wasn’t until I met my then golf coach who actually introduced me to CrossFit that my thoughts would change. In doing CrossFit, I found the beauty in strength, the peace that comes from moving your body through time and space, and the amazing feeling that comes when you do something you never thought you would. It’s humbling and inspiring, kinda like the game of golf. But, it challenged me, and changed me for the better. Doing these workouts inspired me to gain more of an understanding of not only this methodology but also about exercise and health as a whole. Which led me to my CrossFit L1 and attaining a bachelor’s degree in Health and Fitness. But I couldn’t stop there, wanting to help people achieve more and become a better coach. I attained my CrossFit Level 2 as well as becoming a certified nutrition coach through Precision Nutrition and now HSN nutrition. My coaching style is very laidback with some “jokes” sprinkled in there too, as that’s the kind of person I am. I’m very observant and will give you a cue at any moment. As I just want to see people improve, even if it’s just a little bit at a time.

My WHY:
I grew up an athlete with a love for sports and competition. Football, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis; I played everything as a kid. Once I got to college, I developed a new passion for health and fitness and received my degree in Health & Exercise Science. I started lifting weights regularly, but I felt like something was missing. After graduating and working out for some time, I knew that I wanted to help other people with their health and fitness so I became a Certified Personal Trainer and found myself at TheVFit. Here, I was introduced to CrossFit and immediately loved the energy that the class atmosphere provided during the workouts, the amazing community of people and most of all the competition element that I had been missing since I stopped playing sports. CrossFit opened my eyes and made me realize just how much we are all capable of with a little extra push. And this directly translated to my training style as well. In general, I’m a pretty laid back person but as a trainer, I love nothing more than guiding individuals to accomplish something that they didn’t think was ever possible. My ultimate goal is to strategically challenge you to become better each time you workout, and stay safe while doing it!

Joy Pinckney
My WHY:
I recall sitting in my undergraduate Health Promotion class and hearing the definition of “optimal health” for the first time. It is defined as a dynamic balance of physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual health. The concept of optimal health focuses on mental health and healthful relationships, as well as nutrition and exercise. Further, optimal health is about being as healthy as only you can be when adopting behaviors and forming habits that are sustainable for you. It was in that moment that I knew the purpose I wanted to fulfill with my life. I wanted to help others achieve their optimal health. It was in that class, over 20 years ago, I started my journey of becoming a Health Educator.
In 2020, I joined TheVFit. I was at a point where I was ready to take control of my life again and regain my personal optimal health. I set some aggressive fitness goals for myself and worked with Coach Archie to develop a plan to accomplish them. I jumped head first into ramping up my exercise routine and dialing into my nutrition by joining a Nutrition challenge. And over the course of 3 months, I loss over 20 lbs.
As gym members witnessed my transformation, they would ask me “how did I do it?”. I began to share my journey and further encouraged members to focus on their nutrition. I became a champion for our fitness and nutrition programs because I knew how positively it affected my life. And when the next Nutrition challenge came around, I persuaded members to join. A year later, when the opportunity presented itself to become a nutrition coach and a part of the TheVFit team, I was more than excited to join. With my health science background and my passion for helping others achieve their optimal health, becoming a Nutrition Coach seemed like the obvious next step.

My WHY:
Growing up I have always been interested in sports and fitness. Throughout my early childhood and teen years, I participated in several distinct aspects of fitness from football to mixed martial arts. But after high school and into my early twenties I found myself stagnant, sitting around more and not motivated to get up stay active and healthy. Going to your everyday “Globo Gyms” never seemed to work out, not knowing what to do when I got there and never having anyone that wanted to work out with me made it boring and repetitive. On one of those days where I was sitting around the house not doing anything I came across an interesting documentary called The Fittest on Earth that focused on the athletes that competed at the CrossFit Games which piqued my interest and sent me looking for my local CrossFit box. After meeting the coaches and community at The V I felt right at home. The programing and coaching were always top notch which inspired me to continue my CrossFit journey and go through the process of becoming a coach. After years of training and coaching at The V I can 100% tell you that it is the community and people that keep me coming back as its a big family, with the bonus of staying healthy and fit.
