Red Ross’s passion for acting and stunts paired with her irresistible background in health, fitness and business are just a few reasons she continues to have overwhelming success. These valuable traits give her a unique approach to coaching, training and mentoring youths, general population and pro athletes alike. As an entrepreneur and CEO, Red is a firm believer that experience is the best teacher and makes a point not only implement those ideals but to also practice what she preaches.

Red is a Los Angeles native whose entire life has always revolved around family, sports and fitness. Growing up in a home with eight siblings made her competitive spirit even sharper with an amazing balance of patients, humility and respect for others. As a child Red was introduced to acting and modern dance by her mother, two of her first forms of study. Being that her father was the neighborhood coach, Red was soon introduced to Baseball. Yes Baseball, nothing soft for this daddy’s girl. Her time in Baseball quickly uncovered another talent. Red had incredible speed, so much so competitors’ challenged her daily. As a result of this Red’s father found a local track club and her young career in Track and Field at age 8 was launched. Red’s 16-year career in Track & Field was filled with various accolades ranging from USATF Hershey Youth Outdoor Champion, two time ARCO Jesse Owens Games, Gold and Silver medal holder and more than enough honors to be considered a professional athlete as an adult.

 Not only did Red begin training and competing at an early age but started teaching and coaching as well. She has trained, coached and managed at some of the top gyms in Los Angeles, Orange & San Bernardino County’s such as Equinox, Gold’s Gym, 24 Hour Fitness Sport and Super Sport, Crunch, & Bally.

Furthering her commitment to help as many people as possible, Red acquired 5 National Certifications from the leading certification programs in the country: The National Academy of Sports Medicine {NASM},  American College of Sports Medicine {ACSM}, International Sports Sciences Association {ISSA}, American Council on Exercise {ACE}  and ACE Certified Medical Exercise Specialist . Her experience, qualification and studies in Exercise Science and Kinesiology at California State University, Long Beach led her to opening and operating her own gym, Fitness Impact in the City of Long Beach in California by the tender age of 27-years.

Within her company Red was able to develop, empower, and grow other Coaches, Therapist & Trainers to successfully own businesses and flourish in the health and fitness industry. Giving them the opportunity to run & grow their own business as independent contractors. One of those many members of Red’s fitness family was MMA Coach from Brazilian Top Team Long Beach, Lee McDermott.

Being that Red had already been training in Muay Thai with business partner and coach Gregg Washington, it was inevitable that Lee & Red would immediately become friends. This friendship led to her continuous Muay Thai Training as well as, what is now one of Red’s favorite forms of Martial Arts, Kali.

Kali is a Filipino martial art, focusing on the ability to transition from fighting with weapons, sword and sticks to empty hands fluidly.

After a few months of training Lee then introduced Red to Phil Aslaksen another Martial arts instructor who was also a stunt coordinator. It was this introduction that opened the door for Red in the stunt community.  Phil is still Red’s Sensei today.
