About Us
Welcome to LevelUP 24-hour Smart Gym in Avon CT
A place where technology, passion, and the pursuit of health converge to create a
unique fitness experience. At the heart of LevelUP is Rob Olson, a Simsbury, Connecticut
native whose journey from a fitness enthusiast to a visionary entrepreneur encapsulates
the spirit of what LevelUP Gym aims to offer to its community.
About Rob
Our Founder's Journey
Rob's path to fitness and entrepreneurial success was anything but ordinary. As a student-athlete at Avon Old Farms, Rob discovered his love for fitness through cross country, hockey, and lacrosse. His pursuit of a Biomedical Engineering degree at Drexel University was a testament to his love for technology and innovation. However, a co-op experience at a pharmaceutical company made it clear that the conventional 9-5 life was not his calling.
Choosing his own path to follow, Rob enlisted in the Navy with the dream of becoming a Navy SEAL. Through determination and resilience, he earned his Navy SEAL Trident in 2007, specializing in combat medicine. His service included tours in Afghanistan, Africa, and Europe, experiences that shaped his understanding of teamwork, discipline, and the importance of physical fitness.
From SEAL to Entrepreneur
In 2013, Rob returned to Simsbury and pursued his passion for fitness into opening CrossFit Simsbury, now known as ResoluteFIT in Granby, CT. His commitment to fostering a community where individuals could push their limits and support each other in their fitness journeys became the foundation of his entrepreneurial vision.
Technology Driven Gym
The Birth of LevelUP
24/7 Smart Gym
LevelUP 24/7 Smart Gym is the result of Rob's love for technology, fitness, and the desire
to offer unprecedented access to training facilities. Understanding the constraints of
traditional gym hours and the potential of technology to enhance workout efficiency and
safety, Rob envisioned a modern gym that was accessible at any hour and equipped
with the latest in fitness technology.
