Todd Smith Fitness

Todd Smith Fitness Todd Smith Fitness My Name is Todd Smith and I am a health and fitness writer and speaker, a personal trainer and a world-class natural body builder.

For nearly 30 years, I have been passionately pursuing the best, safest and most efficient ways to transform the human body–my own body and my clients’ bodies. Everything I do is about delivering results to my customers. Before I continue on about myself and what I have been doing for the last 30 years, I have to ask you some questions: What are your goals? How do you want to look? How do you want

to feel? As I said earlier, my entire way of doing business revolves around helping YOU achieve YOUR GOALS and delivering you EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT!

We could tell you why to vote for us — instead, we let our coaches do it.

Vote for the club that builds strong women. The cardio that focuses on your heart. The place where everybody knows your name. The gym you'd trust to train your mom. The one that will actually teach you how to exercise properly.
For 41 years we've grown on word of mouth, not ads — so your vote is just the community saying "this works." It takes a minute, and voting's open through August 10: omahamagazine.com/vote. Thank you, Omaha.

Meet Jim — our oldest member, a U.S. Navy veteran and retired physician. 🇺🇸🤍

Service runs deep in this family. His son Joe is career Navy, and over the years the family has moved all over the world. Today they’re together in Omaha — son Joe, his wife Pat, and three of his 10 grandkids came in to see the gym and watch Jim show off a few hard-earned feats of strength.

In his words: “I’m retired and I want to get stronger. In the year I’ve been here, I’ve made vast improvements. Between reps, Todd tells stories that make the whole atmosphere fun. I have a lot of living left to do — and Todd is helping me extend my years.”

That’s the whole point. Strength was never about the mirror. It’s about the energy to keep showing up for the people who matter — wherever life takes you.

Jim, thank you for your service, and for bringing your family in. Here’s to a lot more living.

Meet Coach Connor. 👋
"This is the first job I've ever held where I genuinely love all of my coworkers and all of my clients. You know how people say they can't wait to get to work? That's totally true for me."
What he wants for members: to look forward to coming in and getting their butts kicked a little — until it's so much a part of your routine you feel weird missing a day. His favorite move is the chest-supported row ("I love the squeeze — it's simple enough that even someone like me can do it well"). Off the clock, he plays drums at church.

“I’m probably the king of mistakes.” — Todd 🤍

Here’s something we see all the time: someone comes in on a Wednesday, still carrying guilt over a rough weekend of eating. Days later. Still holding it.

So this one’s for anyone who does that. Slip-ups are okay — we’re all going to have them. The problem isn’t the slip-up. It’s carrying it around for three days.

Don’t expect perfection from the way you eat. Eat to be healthy. Eat to be the best version of yourself — because good food is what gives you a clear mind and a strong body. Put the right things in.

But when you make a mistake? Move on. Embrace the next meal. Embrace the next opportunity. Do something good — and don’t hold on to it.

— Todd Smith, over and out.

The people in the best shape for life usually don't have the highest ceilings — they have the highest floors.
So instead of asking "what's the most I can do?", ask "what's the least I can do?" Be consistent over intense — repeatable things are what stick. Three tips: build repeatable habits (20-year routines, not 2-week routines), train hard but stay safe, and stay in the game at all costs.
Who cares what you can deadlift if it puts you out for 5–6 weeks? Especially over 40. The goal is to be in it for another 40 years, not for weeks. Come train for the long game with us: https://www.toddsmithfitness.com/

Movement is a privilege.

One day something shifts. You stop dreading your workout — and start being grateful you get to have one.
A body that can move is a gift. Most of us don’t think about it until it changes. You don’t have to wait for that moment. Show up now, while you can. Because you want to, not because you have to.
Gratitude and movement belong together. When you realize what your body is actually capable of, showing up stops feeling like a chore. It starts feeling like the least you can do for something that does so much for you.
And gratitude isn’t just a feeling. It calms your stress, helps you rest, and tells your whole body: you’re safe. A grateful heart, a healthier life.

That’s the spirit we train in. Come find your best hour with us — link in bio.

"Why does my lower back hurt every time I deadlift?" Fair question. A deadlift asks a lot — you have to keep the lower back arched and brace hard the whole way. And unless you're a powerlifter, there's a bigger question: why are you deadlifting at all?
There are no must-do exercises. If you want to build muscle and the deadlift doesn't agree with you, here are four that hit the same muscles: a timed hold (30s hold / 30s reps, 3–4 rounds), a weighted hyperextension, a reverse hyperextension (your legs become the weight), and a seated leg curl to isolate the hamstrings. Same muscles — a lot easier on your back.

75 Hard. A $2,000 mirror for your wall. An app. The next 30-day challenge. What do they all have in common? They're selling you a gimmick with no methodology.
What actually works is simple: build muscle, eat clean, train consistently, and be honest with yourself. A challenge ends in 75 days — we give you the tools and the mentality to execute for the rest of your life. Todd's had the same message for 41 years: no challenges, no gimmicks, no marketing tricks. We're not a marketing company. We just coach people, consistently.
Done with the gimmicks and ready for the real thing? Come see us: https://www.toddsmithfitness.com/

Statistically, women live longer than men — so why aren't we living better?

Living longer isn't the same as living well, and it's not your cardio, your weight, or your step count that decides the difference. It's your muscle. After 40, women lose muscle faster, and strength, energy, and the ability to do what you love go with it.

The good news: muscle is the one thing you can grow back. Heavy, intentional strength training — about 3 hours a week — is how. This isn't about chasing youth; it's about building muscle that carries you through the decades.

Come get strong with us at Todd Smith Fitness: https://www.toddsmithfitness.com/

We’ve never just been a gym.

The idea that runs everything here is a simple one: take care of your people. And over 41 years in Omaha, “your people” has grown to mean a lot more than the folks in the room.
When the world shut down in March 2020, Todd and the team made 500+ grocery deliveries — eggs, milk, bread, canned food, meat — to elderly and immune-compromised neighbors who couldn’t get out. Todd covered every bag. As he put it back then: “If it wasn’t for Omaha, I wouldn’t have anything.”
We’ve stood with Omaha’s veterans. We’ve put 10,000+ Be Amazing books into kids’ hands, free. Little things, over a lot of years — because showing up for each other is the whole point.

Omaha has taken care of us for four decades. We’ll always look for ways to give it back.
