The Buckingham Fitness Story

Growing up I was always playing sports: basketball, football, soccer, baseball, bowling, tennis, swimming, you name it.

I had a very successful high school career in basketball, football, and soccer, garnering many accolades and school records which eventually lead me to play both basketball and football in college, but...

During my freshman year of college basketball I broke my ischial tuberosity, tore my hamstring, and herniated my L4-L5 disc...OUCH. This lead to 45+ lbs of weight gain, severe depression, and ultimately rock bottom...

Somehow, after months and months of struggling, physical therapy, and sheer stubbornness, things got better. Through Stage Combat (a theatre class I took) and a whole lot of "figure it out", I lost over 50lbs (thanks to conscious eating and light exercise!), but didn't really know what I wanted to do now that sports were gone...

I fell in love with my theatre class and stunts which lead into acting and ultimately my big move to Atlanta, GA (#1 in the world for movie & television productions!). But my love for fitness and health never went away...

I decided to start my own personal training business in March of 2018 and it's been an incredible ride these last 2+ years. I am thankful for the journey so far and cannot wait to see where it leads me in the future.

Testimonials

“I’ve never seen anyone coach the way you do”

— Trey Bourgeois

“I hadn’t gone to Tyler for training, but the day of our consultation he invited me to try a semi-private workout with a couple other girls to see if it was a good fit. By the end of the session, I was in. I’ve been working out on my own for a long time, and I knew I probably had some bad habits and form issues that needed correcting.

As a coach, Tyler is incredibly attentive. Before each session he checks in to see how we’re doing emotionally as well as physically, and really takes it into account. He motivates without belittling, is always open to questions, and clearly cares very deeply about making a difference for each of his clients. I’m really happy to be on board.”

— Elizabeth Hammontree

“Even my best friends didn’t believe this was a before & after picture of me.”

— Michael Anthony Bagozzi

(with 20 extra pounds of muscle)

“I have been struggling with injuries from rugby, boxing, and aikido. Since training 3 months with Tyler, my joint pain in my knee and shoulders has completely gone, and I am lifting more weight than I ever have. My body has not felt this good in 9 years.” 

— Jamie Flanagan

“Tyler was my trainer for over a year and during that time my personal goals were always the target of our sessions. Tyler came prepared with a pre-planned workout, was respectful of my age (78) but cut me NO slack!vI wanted to remain flexible, add strength and work on balance. A side benefit, I dropped 2 dress sizes and lost 15 pounds! I respect Tyler for his skill, love of sports and dedication to the things that really matter in life.

If you are looking for a personal trainer…you cannot do better than Tyler Buckingham!!”

— Corky Pagoria

“I’ve never been this strong in my life”

— Spencer Mumford

“In the spring of 2018 I started personal training with Tyler Buckingham.  I had been working out on my own but I was not getting the results I wanted. Since Tyler and I have been working together I have lost weight, I have gotten stronger and my balance, stamina and flexibility have improved significantly. The results have been great and I feel better than I have in a very long time.

Last December I experienced terrible back pain. I have never known such pain. The Doctor told me I have stenosis and prescribed physical therapy. I continued working with Tyler and we did lots of stretching and exercises to strengthen my back. I am pain free and I owe it all to Tyler.”
