Russ created 5280 Fitness and Sports Performance from only two people in a park back in 2009.  He has relied on his background of being a three sport athlete at a 4A high school in Missouri and successful career at Adams State.  His career was cut short due to multiple shoulder injuries but during his time there he was able to one of the top players at his position in the country for two years in a row.  All Conference selections and being in the top 10 of total tackles two years in a row are just a couple of his highlights.  He takes the same passion he had for the sport and applies it to all his athletes young and old.  His core belief of building a culture based on results and relationships spreads throughout the entire facility.
