OUR STORY

Founded in 2014, C2X Fitness Academy is dedicated to helping athletes and individuals build strength, fitness, confidence, and character through high-level training, mentorship, and community.
C2X began when former collegiate wrestlers Tim Hennessey and Vas Lahanas recognized a need for a training environment that developed people beyond sport-specific skills. They wanted to create a place where individuals could build strength, discipline, accountability, and confidence while being challenged to become the best version of themselves. Tom Tanis, a former athlete coached by Tim and an accomplished collegiate wrestler himself, joined them in building the program.
While wrestling remains an important part of C2X’s foundation, Tom leads the fitness and athletic training side of the program, helping athletes and everyday individuals develop the physical tools, habits, and mindset needed to perform at their best. Whether you're a competitive athlete looking to improve performance or someone simply looking to get stronger, move better, and improve your overall fitness, C2X provides a challenging and supportive environment to help you reach your goals.
Tim, Vas, and Tom bring firsthand experience as athletes and coaches to create a culture centered around hard work, consistency, accountability, and long-term development.
That belief became the foundation of C2X: Commitment 2 Excellence.
Today, C2X provides comprehensive fitness and athletic training for athletes and individuals of all backgrounds and fitness levels. Through structured training, coaching, mentorship, and community, C2X challenges every person who walks through the doors to pursue excellence—in the gym, in their sport, and in every area of life.
