About Tony
Hello! I’m Tony Graves, and I'm excited to be part of the 10 Fitness team. With a year and a half of experience as a trainer, I bring strong enthusiasm for fitness and a drive to help clients live their best lives.
I’m a Certified Personal Trainer and an MMA conditioning specialist. My path began after high school in Kennett, MO, followed by military service where I completed two combat tours in Iraq. Afterward, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, reinforcing my commitment to structured discipline.
At 10 Fitness, I stand out for my focus and dedication to fitness. I pay particular attention to issues related to weak or underdeveloped core muscles. Clients recognize that I push them to achieve their goals, never settling for less-than-complete effort during workouts.
I enjoy taking on new challenges alongside new clients. Each person brings a unique combination of goals and obstacles, which makes every session an opportunity for shared growth and progress.
When I’m not training, you’ll probably find me at home playing video games or streaming shows. I find inspiration through superheroes—especially from Marvel—and I proudly consider myself a fan of comics and Pokémon.
Raised in Kennett, MO, I continue to live here, appreciating the community I’ve always called home. My military years earned me honors like the Combat Action Badge and two Army Commendation Medals. These reflect a strong commitment to discipline and follow-through.
Fitness stays at the center of my life; even a torn bicep didn’t keep me away from the gym for long. I firmly believe in taking responsibility and following through, no matter the setback.
I value creating a legacy as someone who left a lasting, positive mark on the lives of those I trained. I want to fuel their passion as much as I share mine. As Mewtwo said, “The circumstances of one’s birth are irrelevant. It’s what we do with the gift of life that determines who we are.”
Fitness and comics aren’t pastimes for me—they keep me motivated. Come see me at 10 Fitness, and let’s work together to achieve your goals.
