Tom Kalka, President and CEO of CFC - Tom earned his Bachelor of Science in Health and Physical Education from Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania in 1994. After college, Tom spent over 5 years in the Army as an Infantry Officer.  He graduated from Air Assault and Airborne Schools, two of the military's toughest schools.  He also earned the coveted Ranger Tab and Expert Infantryman's Badge. His background in athletics includes lettering in track, cross-country, swimming, and volleyball.  In his spare time he can be found assisting his wife in the care of their young son Thomas III, lifting weights or training for one of the many local triathlons or road races.

Tom has engineered the backbone of Custom Fitness Concepts from more than 14 years of experience in the fitness industry.  His experience involves the most important aspects of running a fitness business, including management, sales, marketing, customer service, personal training, and group exercise instruction. He understands that a successful fitness service organization develops relationships with clients by listening to their needs and ensuring that they are getting what they need.

Tom feels strongly about creating a mutually beneficial relationship with everyone involved with CFC.  This includes not only the clients, but the trainers working for, and the partners associated with, CFC as well.  This relationship is the foundation of CFC's success because everyone wins!

Chantel Battie, General Manager- Chantel earned her Personal Training certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine in 2004, one of the most prestigious certifications in the fitness industry.  Chantel also earned her BA in Business/Accounting from Hillsborough Community College and the University of Phoenix.   Chantel’s love of fitness started in college and led her to a career in fitness because of her passion and drive to help others.  Her own personal fitness achievements and enthusiasm stem from learning to make lifestyle changes with daily nutrition and exercise.  This helped her not only to control and change her own weight permanently, but helps her relate well with others who struggle with their weight and food addictions.  

Chantel started as a personal trainer for CFC and has successfully worked her way up through management by contributing to the development and growth of the company.  She works to ensure that CFC provides top quality instructors, exceptional customer service and to put it simply, to provide ‘Fitness for YOUR lifestyle.'

Chantel enjoys playing competitive beach volleyball up and down the east coast.  She has two beautiful children and resides in the Orlando area with her husband.
