Joe Rodonis

I grew up in Chicago with a great family and was very active in team sports growing up. I’m incredibly close with my brother and grew up with amazing parents.

I left Chicago to study Finance at Indiana University - Bloomington. I began my professional career as a financial analyst at a Fortune 20 HealthCare company. I had a 10 year career there, and gradually moved into Sales Management, selling Nuclear Medicine in the Carolinas.

While I had a great career, I began to realize this wasn’t going to be the right fit for me in the long run. In 2016, my Father and my Grandfather both passed away suddenly…which changed my life. A year later, I made the decision to leave my corporate job and “pursue my dreams”.

This lead me to Cape Town, South Africa in 2017-2018 where I lived for 6 months as a model. An incredible experience where I spent time exploring the country, hiking, meditating, and diving into the fitness scene.

In 2018, I decided to move to New York which lead me to find Tone House. I fell in love with the vision and community there. I was a head coach there for 4.5 years and Lead Instructor on Tone House TV (OnDemand). I also founded a podcast called, Athlete’s Pursuit.

Currently represented by IMG Model Management, I have worked with brands such as; UnderArmour, GIII, Michael Strahan, Starter, Ten Thousand, Dirt Devil, Hanes, Men’s Fitness.

As a Coach, my mission is to help others realize and unlock their potential and using training as a method to do so. I believe we are all capable of more than we may believe; and training allowed me a way to prove that to myself. I want to share that gift with everyone I work with as they pursue their own dreams.
