My Story
Who am I: Hello there! I'm Blake Roorda. I had the pleasure of befriending Cam and Brit through our shared passion for bodybuilding. I'm thrilled to join the TUF coaching team! I recently moved to Sioux Falls with my wife after spending several years in Aberdeen, SD. During my time in Aberdeen, I earned an undergraduate degree in Exercise Science and started my career in the fitness industry in 2017. Since then, I've been fortunate to work with and guide a diverse range of clients toward their fitness goals, many of whom aspired to compete in bodybuilding.
Specializations: Lifestyle, weight loss and contest prep. Resistance training for optimized hypertrophy growth
Competitive Career: My interest in bodybuilding sparked my journey into fitness. I struggled with obesity throughout my youth and adolescence, but in high school, through sheer hard work and discipline, I managed to lose over 100 pounds in one year. In 2020, I entered my first bodybuilding competition as a men’s physique competitor, which ignited my passion for the sport. A few years later, I earned my national qualification and competed at the NPC Nationals in December 2023. I look forward to continuing my competitive career.
What I love about Coaching: I'm passionate about coaching because it allows me to share my expertise and experience with others. As a coach, my goal is to guide you efficiently towards your goals, ensuring you achieve them faster, with greater ease, and more knowledgeably than I did. Witnessing clients achieve their goals is incredibly rewarding. Equally fulfilling is helping them navigate plateaus and witness that 'ah-ha' moment when everything falls into place and progress resumes.
