Meet The Dedicated Team Behind APEX Gym

    ANDREW CAPUL CEO | Founder | Coach

    I entered this industry immediately following the conclusion of my college baseball career. I was always an active guy and loved being involved in sports and fitness. The second I hung up my baseball glove I knew I wanted to be involved in a career built around fitness and helping people achieve goals they didn’t believe were possible. I cleaned out my parent’s garage and spent every penny I had to my name on gym equipment to create a place to stay in shape and train a few friends and local athletes. Six years and thousands of community members trained later Apex Performance is still standing strong & growing every day thanks to our loyal family of #ApexAthletes

    Fitness and health have always been at the forefront of my lifestyle for as long as I can remember. After graduating from Cuny Queens College and spending a few years in physical education, I decided to enter the fitness industry to pursue my true passion. Pivoting away from solely strength and conditioning, I began to focus my energy on creating a FUNctional boot camp with the intention of helping people live a healthy, strong, and pain-free life. I bring a plethora of knowledge based on correct movement patterns that have our FitFamily learn about their bodies while they’re working up a sweat. I look forward to helping the NR community meantime their health and wellness for years to come.”
