Welcome to our Member Spotlight Series, where we proudly showcase the businesses making a difference within the Strive Community and beyond. Today we have the pleasure of speaking with Roc Hance, founder of TeamRoc Fitness, operating out of Strive Plano. Join us as we learn more about what inspired Roc to start his business and how he provides the best health and fitness resources to his clients!
Tell us a little about TeamRoc Fitness!
Teamroc was formed in 2011, when I began my career training MMA and U.F.C. fighters, most notably for assisting them in their conditioning and helping them become better stand-up fighters in their striking ability. Soon after, I started my boxing cardio class in an upscale fitness facility near downtown Dallas. I was conducting 15 to 18 one-hour sessions per day, usually from 5am to 10pm. Then later in 2019, we signed our first lease in a 250,000-square-foot building. Teamroc Fitness has grown quickly, and I’ve had the privilege of working with the people who have been with Teamroc Fitness since day 1!
What led you to start TeamRoc Fitness?
After the pandemic in 2020, we pivoted to servicing our clients at their homes, considering many of our clients had spaces and gyms in their homes. This turned out to be a great advantage for the clients that we serviced, as we were able to train the entire family without them having to travel.
Before the pandemic, I trained a wide range of people – I worked with seniors at a senior living center for several years, while also training with young high school athletes. As my experience grew, I learned more about different needs and was able to work with all people, no matter their age or background.
What sets your business apart from your competitors?
My passion in starting Teamroc Fitness was to build people up in the community through health and fitness, something that comes naturally to me, as I have been in the gym practically my entire life. I believe my calling from God is to help people grow, not only by losing weight, building muscle, or reducing stress, but to be a light in someone’s life for that hour. I love helping other trainers with my methods and any advice I can share to help them grow their business.
One thing that might set Teamroc Fitness apart from competitors in our business is our ability to train any anatomy. I have worked with Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, UFC fighters, and players in the N.F.L. I have also worked with both younger children and seniors. I think my ability to work with anyone, no matter the age, gender, injury, or fitness level, I can adapt. Our goal is to learn every day!
How do you navigate your work/life balance?
Navigating my work-life balance is tough at times. My days begin with waking up at 3:30am. I have been married to my beautiful wife going on 8 years, and I have a 7-year-old daughter. I make it a priority to attend all her events and special occasions, or even if she just wants to play dolls, I stop everything I’m doing for her! I do my best to stop when my wife asks to go out for family date night. But God and Church on Sunday is a must in our house, as God is the only reason Teamroc Fitness LLC was formed into an entity. All the credit goes to God.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
The most rewarding part of my career is witnessing a client accomplish a goal and seeing them grow through the hard work they have put in with me. I feel being apart of Teamroc Fitness has largely benefited my community, myself, and my business!
How has being a part of the Strive Community impacted your business?
I appreciate all the Strive members for maintaining our area, keeping the building clean and secure, and always giving a helping hand when we ask!
If you had a friend come visit from out of town, do you have a spot in the area you’d take them to?
The last friend I had visit us in town, we placed her and her family at The Star Omni Hotel. It is a great spot for visitors to eat and tour. It may be a little farther out, but its about their experience, not ours, right?
We want to thank Roc for participating in our Member Spotlight Series. If you are interested in spotlighting your business with us, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your community manager—we are always eager to help elevate your business and your efforts in any way we can!
