WHO WE ARE
F7 Collective was born from a simple truth: fitness professionals who've put in the work and built something real have a responsibility to do more than just look good.
We are a group of coaches, athletes, trainers, and health advocates who decided to channel the same discipline, grit, and community-building that made us successful into something larger than ourselves.
F7 is our framework for life. Seven principles. Seven commitments. One collective moving with unified purpose.
THE SEVEN Fs
The foundation of everything we do. We operate from a place of deep belief — in something greater, in each other, and in the work.
Not just blood. The people who show up, push you, and grow with you. We build community like family.
Physical discipline is the gateway to mental clarity and life mastery. We take our bodies seriously.
We give back. Through mentorship, outreach, and resources for youth — we plant seeds where they're needed most.
Passion that doesn't burn out. The internal drive that keeps you going when circumstances say stop.
Every worthwhile thing requires a fight. We embrace the grind, the resistance, and the adversity.
Clarity of purpose. We cut the noise, set the vision, and execute with unwavering intent.

Anthony Ramsay
Anthony Ramsay is a testament to the power of community and the resilience it produces. Raised by Rex Ramsay and Kathy Hockaday in a co-parenting dynamic built on cooperation rather than conflict, Anthony grew up with a firsthand understanding of what it looks like when adults put the wellbeing of a child above all else. That foundation shaped everything.
Surrounded by a devoted village of aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandmothers, Anthony was never without a network of people invested in his growth. Each relationship contributed something distinct to his character — teaching him the values of collaboration, mutual support, and the kind of collective care that F7 was built to model and extend to communities that need it most.
Anthony brings that same community-first mindset to his role on the F7 board. His belief that people are destined for success when they are surrounded by the right support — and his lived experience of what that support can produce — makes him a natural fit for a movement committed to building exactly that for the next generation.

Christopher Thomas
Christopher Thomas is a Colorado native whose life and career have been shaped by a deep commitment to community, resilience, and the belief that every person deserves the opportunity to rise.

He holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and has spent the past 18 years working in Community Corrections, meeting individuals at some of the most difficult moments of their lives and walking alongside them toward restoration. His work is defined not by judgment, but by a genuine desire to help people find their footing and build something better.
For Christopher, joining the F7 Collective was a natural extension of who he has always been. The mission of mentorship, accountability, and community investment aligns directly with the work he has dedicated his career to — and with the neighborhoods that shaped him. His presence on the board reflects F7's commitment to surrounding its mission with people who don't just believe in change, but have spent their lives creating it.
