Thanks to Coach Joe for helping stay nice and strong to keep up with the Broadway schedule!!!

And yes before a matinee totally works! I could honestly do any day I have a matinee so whatever is best for the photographer I can make sure I’m at the theatre early whenever they’re available.

Joe Rosko began his professional career as a trainer and actor at the exact same time in 2007. Since then, it has been his mission to build a bridge between the worlds of fitness and theatre. Rosko believed that actors were truly professional athletes but didn't feel as though the theatre community was equipped with the proper resources to train like said athletes. This realization led to the creation of Built for the Stage. In the past seven years BFTS has had clients represented in over fifty Broadway shows and other stages across the globe while training on a fitness app. Rosko and his coaches pride themselves in having the unique abilities to continue a performer’s fitness progress while being in or out of a show. All professional athletes train a certain way while in season or out of season, and with actors it’s no different.
