FRANK YOUNG
FOUNDER | HEAD COACH
I am the father of 5 amazing children, and have been married to my Jr. High sweet heart , Shaunell for 25 years.
My recovery journey began in July of 2002. Years of alcohol and drug addiction had taken its toll on my mind, body and spirit.
Given the opportunity to change my life , I immersed myself in the local recovery community.
Shaunell and I created an amazing life for our family. After 9 years of sobriety we started to use drugs & alcohol again, this was devastating for our family, but it was actually a beautiful beginning of a new perspective about recovery, community, and personal empowerment.
Since that time I have focused my time and energy on building communities that are supportive , compassionate and empowering.
For nearly twenty years my passion has been being physically fit, and the Process of Transformation (recovery),
That passion has now turned into my life’s purpose!!
Shaunell and I founded Warrior Strength in the early stages of the covid pandemic (spring 2020), our belief is that Community and Connection are essential elements for people to be successful in their journey of healing. We believe in all pathways to Recovery, we also believe that when people come together, there is a healing effect for the entire collective.
Over the past four years I have had the honor of helping people improve their Physical, Emotional and Spiritual lives.
I believe that there are many powerful lessons that are learned while strengthening the body, (lessons that impact many other areas of our lives),
These lessons include, honesty, humility, courage and gratitude, just to name a few.
Our vision is to serve more people and watch the ripple effect impact people throughout all of the greater community.

My passion for the fitness industry has been engrained into my life since I was 14 years old. The minute I picked up my first fitness and nutrition magazine, I knew that it was what I was born to do. I became NASM and ACE certified so I could understand all parts of fitness and nutrition. I wanted to absorb as much as I could to feel my best and share my passion with others. I have since gone on to acquire numerous certifications, including NCI, Oracle applied science and the Well-Fit mentorship. This passion lifted me from my darkest times and helped me overcome a decade of addiction to drugs and alcohol, which resulted in my sobriety.
My sobriety date is November 20th of 2012, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
Fitness, to me, isn’t just about physical appearance. Fitness is a lifestyle that is continuously evolving. I knew that I needed to build a place where we educate others on living healthy lives—no quick fixes or fad diets, just honest accountability, hard work, and real results that last. I opened the doors to Key Nutrition in March 2017 and have never looked back. Collectively as a team we have helped over 3,500 people hit their health and fitness goals and have amassed over 3 million dollars in revenue. I genuinely want my clients and my team to live healthy lives and understand how food and fitness can change your life for the better. We get one life, and I want everyone to live their best. I now operate a course called The Next Level Experience, where we help individuals level up in all areas of their life in an intimate, intense, and interactive course. I am not only a fitness addict; I am also a dad to my sweet baby boy Dominic Jensen and a dog dad to my two fur babies, champion and chief
