Anthony Rousseau brings a unique blend of blue-collar work ethic, professional expertise, and community-focused leadership to Valid Fitness. Before opening the gym, Anthony spent over 30 years with Performance Plus Auto Body, where he worked in all aspects of the business and built a reputation for honesty, quality, and attention to detail. He is also a licensed auto body appraiser, giving him a deep understanding of both the technical and customer-service sides of running a successful shop.

Anthony is an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer and is also certified in the RAMP program, allowing him to design safe, effective, and progressive training for members of all ages and fitness levels. He combines real-world experience with solid education to help people move better, feel stronger, and stay consistent.

That same commitment to quality and care is what drives Anthony at Valid Fitness. He created the gym as a welcoming, no-judgment space where everyday people can feel supported, encouraged, and confident in their fitness journey. Whether it’s greeting members at the door, supporting his team, or improving programs behind the scenes, Anthony’s goal is simple:
take great care of people and help them feel better in their bodies and their lives.

Outside of the gym, Anthony stays active in the local community and continues to draw on his decades of small-business experience to keep Valid Fitness growing and improving for its members.
