Meet Your Trainer
Hi! I'm Torrance Cooper. Everyone knows me as “Coop”, so you're invited to do as well.
I'm a natural professional bodybuilder - meaning no steroids, or other performance enhancements drugs. I've been bodybuilding since 2008 and went professional in August 2013. I've won many awards, medals, etc. throughout my experience. I've played many sports throughout my life, such as semi-pro football, basketball, wrestled in high school and did a little track.
I've been a personal trainer for about 15 years now, which I have a NGA certification. My main goal is to teach and coach clients on how they can achieve a healthy lifestyle that is done through not only exercise but feeling good and staying fit.
I always had a passion helping others specially when I started my fitness journey and became a personal trainer I wanted to share and give others the opportunity to live a healthier lifestyle, become the best version of themselves. Being able to motivate, coach and to see my clients give 100% and don't give up stay consistent that's what drives me. When they achieve their goals it make me so excited for them. I tell all of my clients I'm not happy until you’re happy I would do whatever it takes take make sure each and everyone of them never be disappointed I’m always in their corner I will never give up on them. The best part about training clients is the relationship you build for a lifetime is so amazing. Most of my clients are long term 1-8 years when it comes to training but even the short term they spread their wings and know how their life was impacted.
“Your body can stand almost anything. It’s your mind that you have to convince.”
Before I became a natural bodybuilder, I met a guy that I worked with who was also a bodybuilder. Several people (my friends included) have told me that I had a lot of potential as a bodybuilder. Despite all of the encouragement from family and friends, I wasn't sure I had what it took to become a bodybuilder. That was until I met and spoke with Mr. Hawthorne.
Rodney Hawthorne had been coaching my friend in his bodybuilding, who was good enough to introduce me. Mr. Hawthorne was a Mr. Universe and owned a gym. I went to Mr. Hawthorne’s gym to meet with him, told about how I had been working out six days a week and wanted to see if I had potential in the bodybuilding. He coached me through all the poses and said that I had great genetics and good size. I just needed a change of diet and nutrition and from there I should do really good.
I’ve been training since 2008 with Mr. Hawthorne as my mentor ever since our meeting. He’s helped me prep for shows and made sure that I was stage ready. I was in my first show in November 2009 where I got third place – my first show ever!
I had such a blast!
Since then, I have completely fallen in love with the sport – finding my true, new passion.
