About Us

At 13 years of age, Todd Howard began weight training in a small Gym located in his home town of Spartanburg, South Carolina. This gym called Olympian Fitness Center was owned by 20 year old Lee Haney. For the next 4 years, Todd was taught personally by Lee Haney proper nutrition as well as safe and effective weight training techniques. Lee Haney went on to become the unprecedented winner of eight consecutive Mr. Olympia titles, beating Arnold Schwarzenegger's http://www.schwarzenegger.com/en/index.asp seven win record.

In early "89" after completing a tour of duty in the United States Marines Todd founded a company called 1onONE™ Active Wear. 1onONE™ Active Wear bought, sold and manufactured workout apparel. This small home based business turned into a chain of (7) extremely successful Max Muscle Nutrition Stores located in beautiful San Diego County California.

Todd has a genuine love for people and yearns to see others succeed. While acting as President and CEO of the growing Nutrition Store chain, Todd always kept a handful of personal training clients. As Todd puts it, "Most trainers are in it for the money. The majority of trainers have no clue how to get themselves in shape, much less a client. They pay a few hundred bucks, pass a (2) week crash course and like magic they are a Certified. But just because they are Certified does not make them Qualified."

Since the big health club chains no longer allowed personal trainers to train clients in their faciliies, Todd realized the need for a training center to service his Max Muscle clients. In January of 2001 Todd began searching to find someone with a similar vision, knowledge, drive and love for people that he had. He found it in a Max Muscle Store client named Devin Dixon. The (2) of them partnered in 2001 and 1onONE™ Personal Training Centers was born. Under the drive and leadership of Devin, 1onONE™ Personal Training Centers has become the most successful and innovative personal training center in Southern California.
