A RISING EMPIRE

---

What started as a local trainer’s passion to change lives has grown into a worldwide movement that’s reshaping how athletes and everyday people train, think, and live. CPT Nation is more than a workout brand. It’s a results-driven community rooted in discipline, progress, and generational impact.

Founded in 2013 by Charles Chestnut III, CPT began in Bradenton, Florida with a few cones and a vision. That vision became a magnet—for underdogs, elite athletes, high-performers, and anyone in the local community who was ready to work for their goals. By 2015, the expanded  operation CPT Nation earned notoriety, not just for its physical training results, but for its culture: a passionately supportive fitness and athletics community, impacting lives across all demographics.

Organic growth and support from the media and various local organizations expanded the training programs far beyond its award-winning Palmetto training facility, transitioning to virtual training by 2019; fulfilling high demand from social media while privately training VIP clients under the sub-brand “KingOfResults“.

Effectively training members in +15 countries (many active military) CPT serves everyone from professional athletes, entertainers, CEOs, and public officials to hardworking single moms, local youth, and 9-to-5 warriors maintaining their health. Our 2025 expansion project introduced a hybrid of online fitness programs, partnered events with elite sports instructors, corporate contracting, and our upcoming mentality development courses. We strongly value delivering results that ripple far beyond the gym:

• Helping athletes secure scholarships and pro contracts
• Empowering women through niche fitness and lifestyle coaching
• Helping adults who were “too busy”, boost their physical and mental fitness with CPT30 mini programs
• Mentoring youth and bridging community gaps 
• Influencing mindset growth through leadership seminars and consulting

This isn’t just training. It’s a mission.

Whether you’re grinding for a championship, your health, or your peace of mind and confidence—CPT Nation is built to bring the best out of you.
