Founder & Coach

Joey Bellus

Owner of OPT Beyond Fitness · Over 22 years of experience in health, fitness, and coaching.

My name is Joey Bellus, and I am the proud Owner of OPT Beyond Fitness. With a mission to guide individuals on transformative journeys, I focus on fostering healthy living and profound self‑understanding. My approach addresses the physical, mental, and emotional aspects that make us human. This allows us to collectively identify and overcome both external and internal barriers, which leads to personal progress, balance, and resilience.

I advocate for integrity, love, compassion, and forgiveness, helping clients transcend failure, self‑doubt, and shame to discover unbreakable courage, confidence, and a deep sense of personal clarity and purpose.

Utilizing a diverse toolkit that includes fitness, breathwork, meditation, nutrition, and traditional ceremonies, I offer a whole human approach to personal growth and self‑transformation that has not only revolutionized my life but also the lives of those I coach.

With over 22 years of experience in the health, fitness and coaching industry, I've gained invaluable insights and wisdom that have refined my coaching methods. Each session is conducted with focus, dedication and care, ensuring a positive environment for client growth.

Our journey together is one of continuous development, with every step forward reflecting a commitment to lasting change.
