  • Retired Drug-Free Bodybuilder & Show Prep Coach (2009–2019)

Theo Thurston's journey into fitness began in 2001 at the age of 47, when he completed his first 12-week transformation challenge—a powerful integration of resistance training, balanced nutrition, and strategic cardio. The experience was life-changing, igniting not just a dramatic physical transformation—losing 14 pounds of body fat and gaining 17 pounds of lean muscle—but also reshaping his mental, emotional, and spiritual outlook. The motto that guided him then still holds true today: Change your mind. Change your body. Change your life.

In the 23 years since, Theo has personally coached more than 35,000 one-on-one and couples training sessions. His approach is grounded in results-driven methodology, continual education, and a deep respect for the individuality of each client. He has studied under some of the world’s leading fitness coaches, absorbed thousands of hours of advanced training content, and brought the same discipline to his own life—competing for a decade in drug-free bodybuilding in the Masters Over 50 and Over 60 divisions before retiring from the stage at age 66.

By 2016, after more than a decade training clients in commercial gyms, Theo recognized the need for a different kind of fitness environment—one that was supportive, focused, and tailored to individuals aged 35 to 85. That vision became reality with the launch of Get Age Fit, a boutique personal training studio designed to offer a calm, encouraging space where every session is guided by a certified professional. Since then, Get Age Fit has outgrown 3 previous Georgetown locations and moved into its fourth location in 2023 - each location a continuation of the belief and mindset that age is not a limitation—it’s an opportunity.

Today, at 72, Theo serves as General Manager and CEO of the flagship 8,000-square-foot Get Age Fit facility. Home to over 150 dedicated clients and a team of 18 certified trainers, the studio continues to lead with personalized, age-appropriate programs that prioritize strength, function, vitality, and total wellness. Under Theo’s leadership and our dedicated team of fitness professionals, Get Age Fit remains committed to one core promise: To deliver excellence in every aspect of the client experience.
