Introducing the BattleGrounds Fitness Team
Meet the fitness experts ready to help you achieve your fitness goals and your potential.
Our Founders
BattleGrounds Fitness was co-founded by friends Joseph McFadden, a US Marine Veteran and current National Guardsman and friend Rocky Medina, a US Marine Veteran. Their partnership was inspired in the memory of their good friend, Marine Staff Sgt. David H. Stewart, who died on June 20, 2014 while conducting combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan.
Battlegrounds Fitness is more than a gym, our mission in part is to educate and empower the residents of Front Royal and the greater Warren County community with the necessary fitness skills and knowledge to help you live happier, healthier lives.
