Welcome to Robinson Athletic Development.

I'm Gelen Robinson, and I'm excited to be your personal coach. Before we get started I’d love to tell you a bit about my background. I come from the heart of Northwest Indiana, and I've had quite a journey in the world of sports & fitness. Ive had a love for strength training my whole life. Learning & mastering the basics of olympic lifting at an early age sparked my love for personal training and helping others.

My journey began back in high school at Lake Central, where I was a three sport athlete Football, Wrestling, and Track & Field all four years. Wrestling became a defining chapter in my life as I proudly claimed the title of a two-time 220-pound Indiana High School Championship titlist, with a remarkable 101-0 record during my junior and senior years.

Track & Field was another area where I excelled, achieving first place in State for Discus during my senior year and taking a second-place finish in the state for shotput.

My skills on the football field led to me being recognized as a four-star prospect by Rivals and earning multiple Defensive Player of the Year and Athlete of the Year awards during my senior year. Receiving an impressive amount of scholarships to play college football all around the country, leading me to made the decision to continue my football career at Purdue University.

At Purdue University my love for playing multiple sports didn’t end. I continued to compete in Football, Wrestling, & Track my freshman year in 2014. After my freshman year with high hops of playing professional football I decided to focus on playing football for my Sophomore, Junior, & Senior year of college. Finishing my collegiate football career at Purdue with 100 Solo Tackles, 64 Assists, 33.5 TFLs, 12.5 Sacks, & 1 interception for a 78 yard return for a touchdown!

But my journey didn't stop there. After college I pursued professional careers in both professional football, where I'm currently competing in the XFL league for the St. Louis Battlehawks & professional rugby, notably in Major League Rugby (MLR), & for the American Raptors where I had the opportunity to travel with my team to South America to compete.
