Today we’d like to introduce you to Thaddeus Kornegay
Hi Thaddeus, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
A 34 year old fitness professional, influencer, and entrepreneur! I began my fitness journey about 8 years ago and quickly feel in love with the health and fitness industry! Born and raised in the beautiful city of Orlando FL, with an extensive background and experience in personal training, group training, weight training, CrossFit training, obstacle course training, and competing in local and national fitness competitions. I have built a strong reputation as a community leader and advocate, particularly in the health and wellness space here locally! thus making me a sought-after expert in physical training, nutrition, and personal coaching.
Currently as an assistant General Manager at D1 Training and Sports, I help oversee athletic and scholastic training for all ages and fitness levels. I’m also known for hosting high-energy popup workouts, brand activations, and community-focused fitness events in the Orlando, Florida area.
As the creator of “Crown Rush”, a sea moss product branded under my limited edition TK Unleashed line-powered by Fresh life Orlando, and also well-known for my engaging presence in various fitness media outlets, including features in Men’s Health and Women’s Health magazines, being voted the best trainer by Orlando Weekly and also competing on American Ninja Warrior!
As a board member of local non-profits and a collaboration guru, I will continue to inspire people through my work and platforms, including developing coaching programs on “TOTUM” that offers PDF-based health and fitness programs tailored to busy individuals. My influence in the Orlando community and beyond highlights my commitment to health advocacy, fitness innovation, and community engagement.
I believe I’m truly here to show others that giving up is not an option and you can follow your dreams and goals with tenacity and grit.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Not smooth at all, when “life gets to life’n” its not an easy one for a lot of people! Especially entrepreneurship and following your dreams! But pushing through the hard times get a little more manageable when you have genuine goals to impact thousands of lives day in and day out!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m a fitness professional, influencer, and entrepreneur that’s has built a strong reputation as a community leader and advocate, particularly in the health and fitness space.

Being able to bring all fitness levels and ages together under one roof to experience what the health and fitness industry has to offer is a major WIN!!! Whether if its through movement, products, or services! hosting these events have changed so many lives and were going to keep them going.
