A Little About Us

& what we offer through Freedom Fitness.



We are Derek & Bridget Pelletier, we are the owners of Freedom Fitness of FL!

From Bridget:

Derek always dreamed of owning a gym (me, not so much) but we opened Raise the Bar in 2017 & in January 2022 we officially became Freedom Fitness (it was the perfect opportunity to rebrand with our new location, to give us a completely fresh start!) In 2023, we moved away from the standard gym operation and opened a semi-private personal training studio that would allow Derek to focus on what he is truly passionate about.

Derek is a nationally qualified body builder, he has competed for the last 10 years and truly loves the sport. He offers in-person & online training, as well as contest prep & customized nutrition plans. He’s completely in charge of our training department, and has worked really hard to build a great team of trainers. I (Bridget) truly enjoy getting to know our members and I can honestly say I’ve made some amazing lifelong friends in our members/instructors/employees!


We have SEVEN children, ages 9-25! 4 boys & 3 girls and they are all very active in sports so that keeps us pretty busy when we aren’t at the gym!

We also have a small “farm”, we currently own 9 dogs, 4 goats, 7 chickens, 2 bearded dragons, a cat, a chameleon, a snake & a rat! 😬

We love/live the fitness lifestyle, and we have been lucky enough to have so many people support our dream & become part of our FF family. Our goal has always been to provide a positive, inviting, & family-like environment! When you walk through the door you will always be greeted with a smile! We hope you find the inspiration you need to reach your goals while at FF!

If you ever have any issues or questions please speak to one of us directly and we will make sure it’s handled appropriately. Thank you all so much for being part of our Freedom Fitness family!

HAPPY CLIENTS. AMAZING RESULTS.

Melanie M.

"My experience with Derek so far has been awesome! I feel great and can see some changes in my body. Derek is very flexible with his schedule and has gone above and beyond to accommodate mine. He is very knowledgeable in his field and has been able to help me with many of my questions and my problem areas. Overall this has been a wonderful experience and I am looking forward to Derek helping me achieve my goals!"

Donald R.

"Derek is a great trainer in so many ways not only does he make sure your doing everything properly to get the most out of each exercise he is a great teacher as well and very educated in his field. I came to Derek and I had type 2 diabetes and was on high blood pressure meds. He completely changed my life and got me off my meds and was within normal range again my Dr. Was so impressed... I was losing fat as I was building muscle I was amazed at how I was changing..."

Matthew L.

"I hired Derek because it is hard to find a balanced trainer with 20 years of experience with multiple training strategys and licences. If you want a trainer to listen to your needs and work with you to build a long term strategy he is your guy. If you want a rookie straight out of certification he's not, trust me there is a difference."

Justin B.

"I am very happy with my custom training program experience. Derek is extremely knowledgeable and stays on top of my routine and future goals as if they were his own. If you're searching for a new body image, superior health, and you want results fast... Derek is your guy!"

Bridget M.

"Derek has been a godsend for me. He has helped me to significantly improve my overall health & fitness level. He is full of information regarding nutrition and has completely customized my training routine to help me reach my specific goals. He pushes me through my work outs when I don't think I can push myself any more. He is always encouraging me and helping me stay on track."
