I have known Tony and been affiliated with AFI for a long time, and I mean LONG!. If there is one thing that I can definitely say Tony and AFI has taught me, it's that just as in sports, when it comes to life, you only get out of it what your willing to put into it. Life and sports seem so interchangeable and there are so many things at AFI that have shown me that. Those who are willing to put in the work to better themselves on the field, the court, or even the pool can bring themselves to work just a little bit harder, just a little bit longer to get where they want to go in life. There were so many times long ago that Tony would push me in the gym, not let me quit all in order to make me better, and now ten years later he is still doing the same pushing me and encouraging me to do anything and everything I sent my mind to. This goes for every athlete he has ever worked with, not just myself. I know, I have seen it. Being a part of Athletes Fitness is an experience that I am thankful that I have and I look forward to seeing it grow as Tony continues to help create better athletes, preparing them for game day, and for life.

I have been fortunate to have been training with Tony Mitchell for the past five years.

​

Before entering Central Catholic High School, I knew I needed to get in better physical shape in order to compete in football at the AAAA level. Tony not only improved me physically, but also mentally. His training methods enabled me to improve my speed and agility significantly. I suffered a few injuries, but each time Tony worked with me and prepared me for the season.

​

Tony is one of the very few people that honestly want you to achieve success. I have always felt like my personal goals were also his goals.

​

He has motivated me and gave me the confidence that has allowed my dreams to become a reality. I am currently playing for the Ohio University Bobcats. I know that I worked hard to get to this point, but I never could have done it without Tony.
