Omar Torrez

Omar is a certified personal trainer, fitness nutrition specialist, sports performance specialist, and orthopedic exercise specialist. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness.  He is from a small town in Oklahoma called Luther, where he started his active lifestyle with sports like basketball, football, and track.  He went to state in track and did a little powerlifting to keep in shape. He also did this for his primary sport, bull riding. Omar rode bulls for fourteen years throughout high school and college and eventually ended it while on active duty in the United States Air Force.  He joined the Air Force for about seven years, and that’s when I realized my enjoyment of helping others with fitness as a physical training leader. 

After transitioning from active duty to the reserves, he decided to become a physical therapist. His wife received orders to Germany shortly after. While in Germany, Omar decided to become a personal trainer. He had a great experience helping others. It made him want to keep improving and learning to be the best at helping others.  Omar is now in Colorado with his wife, dogs, and two kids. He is a stay-at-home dad going to school, so time flexibility was essential to him. He needed a way to leverage his time but still help more people. He decided to join the team at 2BEpic Fitness and Nutrition, LLC, as an online coach who builds custom workouts for those who want to work with him. He invites anyone to get on this incredible journey of health and fitness.

Melissa O'Connell PT, DPT

Melissa performed her undergrad work at Manhattan College, majoring in exercise science. Her passion for helping others through movement led her to pursue her doctorate in physical therapy.

Melissa has been a national board-certified Doctor of Physical Therapy since 2014 from New York Medical College. Melissa has treated patients of all ages in various clinical areas, including post-operative, orthopedics, pediatrics, recreational/collegiate athletes, and geriatrics. Throughout her career, it became clear to Melissa that to heal her patients, she needed to address the underlying issues, not just the physical symptoms.

Melissa expanded her knowledge of yoga, meditation, sound healing, and Reiki education.

She practices a patient-centered approach to treatment, strongly emphasizing movement training, energy healing, patient education, and empowerment.

Thousands of people seeking better health and pain relief chose Melissa as their coach to get them there, and the results speak for themselves.

Through Melissa's continual journey of healing and self-discovery, she learned how important it is to have the right teacher to help guide you. Sustained recovery is not possible if attempted in isolation. Her deepest wish is that she will provide you with a unique service that will allow you to improve yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

This is your opportunity to bring Dr. Mel's expertise into your world. Please schedule it here: https://calendly.com/support-4171/30min.
