About Rich

My name is Rich Gardner. I’m a personal trainer with 8 years experience. Before my career as a personal trainer, I played professional football for the Tennessee Titans & Seattle Seahawks. I was drafted 3rd round via Penn State where I graduated with a degree in economics – I also finished with 3rd team All American honors. My professional football career extends to Germany where I signed with Kiel Hurricanes as a player and defensive coach of their junior team. I helped the Kiel Hurricanes win their first German Bowl and coached their junior team to an undefeated season. I retired shortly after, and began my career as a personal trainer with the idea of a smooth transition into the professional world. I worked two years at La Boxing (now UFC Gym) and Fitness Formula Clubs before starting my own company with a socially driven mission. During my journey as an independent trainer with a focus of providing health & wellness in under resourced communities – I had the opportunity to work with schools, student athletes, professional athletes & general population clients throughout Chicago and Chicagoland areas. My experience working within these demographics inspired me to further my socially driven initiative to the nonprofit world. In November 2017, my wife and I founded Maroon Village (501c3). Our mission is to promote resiliency among student athletes through performance training & yoga. We have partnerships with several organizations that align with our mission –which includes Healthy Hood, Hyde Park Neighborhood Club, After School Matters and GoDeep Football. My background allows me to take these experiences and creatively mold into an organic program that caters to the individual. I’m looking forward to taking this journey with you. Thanks for your time
