Hi, I’m Tonya – owner of Energy Fitness, lifelong athlete, mom of two sons, and passionate coach with over 33 years of experience in the fitness industry. Since founding Energy Fitness in 2002, where we’ve helped thousands of clients feel stronger, move better, and live with less pain through a personalized, whole-body approach to wellness.
After two decades building Energy Fitness in Memphis, I brought our award-winning studio to Greenville, SC, in 2023. Same mission, new zip code: helping real people move better, feel stronger, and age with vitality – not excuses.
I created the Energize Method – a system of semi-private personal training, functional assessments, nutrition coaching, and restorative practices that deliver measurable results. Every trainer on my team is extensively trained in this method, ensuring clients receive consistent, expert-level coaching tailored to their needs.
“Work hard. Rest smart. Keep going. No excuses. I’ll push you, teach you, and meet you where you are—guiding you safely forward.”
– Tonya Tittle
I was born in Uzbekistan and moved to the States with my family when I was 8. After living in Northern California and Oregon, I’ve called the Travelers Rest area home since 2024.

Dance has shaped my life. After a car accident ended my dance career, I rebuilt my body and rehabbed a spinal injury through Pilates. That experience led me to teaching classical ballet, contemporary dance, and acrobatics, with a focus on proper form and technique.
After a ten year hiatus, I returned to the stage in leading roles with ballet companies in Oregon, California, and across South Carolina.
My recovery experience gave me an understanding of the challenge—and hope—of rebuilding strength through rehabilitation. I learned firsthand that recovery takes patience, consistency, courage—and sometimes simply believing that your body can do more than you think it can.
My classical ballet career and kinesiology degree give me a strong foundation in my understanding of how the body moves, which makes learning the Energize Method a natural fit. In our 30-minute semi-private personal training sessions, I bring the same eye I use in the dance studio. I’m big on posture and a stickler for form, alignment, and safe, injury-preventing movement habits.
I love finding ways to motivate, inspire, and encourage you so you get the most out of your journey to better health and a stronger, more resilient body.
Outside the studio, my wife (also a dancer!) and I still take the stage together whenever we can.
We raise goats, chickens and bees as part of our healing space through sauna and animal therapy, and we’re passionate about eating healthy and growing our own veggies.

Hi, I’m Sarah — a personal trainer and strength and conditioning specialist who doesn’t just count reps… I want you to understand why you’re doing them. (click here to watch my video and hear more about my passion for helping you succeed!)
I have a master’s degree in Exercise Science from Concordia University-Chicago and a B.S. degree from Univ. of Massachusetts-Lowell, along with two of the top certifications in the industry. But what really shaped how I coach today is my hands-on experience working alongside physical therapists. I guided clients through prescribed rehab exercises, stretches, and recovery techniques, collaborating directly with PTs to help people reduce pain, move better, and rebuild strength after injury. That experience taught me how to truly work with your body, not against it.
I’ve also worked as an assistant strength coach, training athletes ages 12–18 with sport-specific goals. That’s where I developed a strong focus on proper mechanics, performance, and building a solid foundation early — before bad habits take over.
Now, combining that background with the Energy Fitness Method, I bring a detailed and intentional approach to every session. I pay attention to the small things — your form, positioning, and movement patterns — so we can make the right adjustments, build strength safely, and minimize injury risk. You can expect clear coaching, smart progressions, and modifications that make sense for your body and your goals.
As a former collegiate soccer player at the University of Massachusetts, I understand the mental and physical commitment it takes to keep showing up and making progress. I’ll meet you where you are, but I’ll also challenge you to move forward.
Outside of the studio, I enjoy strength training, hiking, snow skiing, and getting outside for a good walk. For me, movement isn’t just something I coach — it’s part of how I live.
“If you’re ready to feel stronger, move better, and train with purpose, I’d love to work with you.”
