Chad RamseyDirector of Culture & Community

Coach Rammer is the ex-girlfriend that Dane’s Body Shop just can’t keep itself from running back to. Sure it might be healthier for The Shop to move on and mature in a committed relationship with a different ginger coach/manager, but familiarity is a warming libation and Chad does make a fine Manhattan. After years of playing hard to get and seeing other fitness communities around the country, there are whispers that Chad is ready to settle down and make an honest woman out of Dane’s Body Shop. Will he put a ring on it?

Chad works hard to keep the excitement and mystery in his relationship with Dane’s Body Shop. He is constantly learning new ways to stimulate and please The Shop (he is a NESTA Sports Injury Specialist, Healthy Moms Prenatal Fitness Coach, Precision Nutrition Level 1 Nutrition Coach, and NASM Golf Fitness Specialist and highly decorated thespian). The thing about Coach Chad, orchestrator of Athlete of the Month interviews for both locations, is that he’s a really good listener- when The Shop has had a hard day, he’s there to lend an open ear, a shoulder to cry on, and maybe even a sensual foot massage. Ain’t nobody gonna treat you better than Big Daddy C!

More than anything, Chad just loves The Shop for what it is- a vibrant community that rejects the concept of athleticism as a privileged or elite domain and embraces fitness as an essential and approachable ingredient available to every person’s life. Boy did that last sentence get his juices flowing! Coach Rammer wants nothing more than to grow old with The Shop, constantly supporting its health and helping it to find innovative ways to better serve the community, until he finally dies a doddering old coach and is laid to rest six feet beneath the Fusion Room’s signature black matted floor.
