Hey, my Name is Torrey Cordell-Armstrong!

“I’m a certified personal trainer and nutritionist through ISSA. I also have my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from The University of Kentucky! I played sports, primarily football all of my life and developed a love for training while in high school. I opened up a gym in my dad’s basement called Armstrong Armory and began my training journey. Now, I’ve worked with professional and collegiate athletes, as well as people recovering from injury and trying to get in better shape. I’ve had to go through 6 surgeries on my legs from my football career and learned a lot about reducing or eliminating pain and maximizing performance. I believe in a gamify and holistic approach to health. I believe if we can increase our physical activity, eat nutrient dense foods, sleep well, and harness meaningful relationships then we can truly become the ultimate version of ourselves!
