Sean Rhinard

Sean Rhinard, a dedicated fitness professional hailing from Michigan, is the founder of Sean Rhinard Fitness. His philosophy revolves around dedication, passion, and expertise, and he is committed to helping clients of all ages and abilities reach their fitness and health goals.

As a father of three daughters and one son, Sean maintains a busy lifestyle with a work hard/play hard mindset. He is no stranger to adversity and overcoming challenges, having become profoundly deaf at the age of 16-months. His first language was American Sign Language and in 2014, he received his first set of cochlear implants at the University of Michigan, which improved his ability to hear and communicate. Despite his own challenges, Sean pushes himself and his clients to be the best versions of themselves.

Sean’s fitness career began at Grand Valley State University, where he worked as a weight-room attendant at the student recreation center. He graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Pedagogy (physical education). His love for sports and fitness led him to become a personal trainer in 2011 at Snap Fitness in Howell, MI. That same year, he became a certified personal trainer through NASM.

In 2012, Sean and another trainer from Snap Fitness partnered to open MI Fitness in Brighton, MI. Sean managed the training program at MI Fitness from 2012- April 2019. During these years, he began a side hobby of videography to create marketing material for social media and a video training library. He also gained experience in home training, further expanding his skill set and services.

In May 2019, Sean formed his own fitness brand, Sean Rhinard Fitness, which offered customized personal training, group training, online training, and apparel. He operated out of the Michigan Institute of Athletics and The Training Room in Brighton, MI until his move to Sarasota, Florida in October 2019. Sean looks forward to building new relationships with the SRQ team and its members.

In addition to his fitness brand, Sean is also the Business Owner of MediaVerse 360, showcasing his entrepreneurial spirit.
