Lynwood Robinson has over 15 years experience in the world of sport performance coaching and personal training supported by a background in Kinesiology.
Lynwood started his first 18 year athletic career as a competitive 200m & 400m meter track and field athlete, with personal best records in the 400m 45:67 & 200m 21:80.
As a sprint and distance coach, he has developed running camps for nationally ranked high school, college and masters track & field athletes, as well as tri-athletes, throughout the US and Canada.
What very few people know about Lynwood is when he realized he was not going to make a living running full time. He jumped right into his first love…dancing.
As a dancer choreographer, he became one of the “go to” guys for music videos and commercials in Canada. He began opening and touring with Will Smith (Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince), Ice T, David Usher, The Maximum Definitive, Adam H, Positive Concept to name a few. Until one day, in Edmonton Canada, he saw this flyer in a record store “Christian Rap Group DC Talk performing tonight at the auditorium”. So he went over to their sound check and introduced himself. Within an hour, he became their first dancer and finished the West Coast leg of the tour. He moved to Nashville, where DC Talk was based, and for the next 2 years, had the best time of his life touring the world as part of the band.
From there he directed a few music videos and pursued his dancing career touring in several musicals, also appearing on Much Music and MTV Awards and Oscars Ceremony. But touring was taking a toll on him and he decided that it was time to start a new chapter in his life
Lynwood joined the Paramount Pictures Studios as a Fitness Trainer then became the Assistant Fitness Director for their private Fitness Center. Within the 7 years working there, he worked extensively with the on Lot Film Production Talent and Executives, designing their fitness and stress management protocols. He has also served as a guest lecturer and fitness expert with appearances on the “Dr Phil” Show and “Kcal News”.
In 1999 Lynwood founded WF Athletics modeled after his personal fitness concepts and beliefs, and in April 2010 he developed and opened the WF Athletics Training Center to be able to expend and share his elite athletic training expertise and passion for fitness with his clients.
