About Ostean

I’m Russell Watkins Jr., founder of Ostean. I started Ostean in 2022 as a fitness community and personal training service to the general population. I started this community/service because I wanted to provide an effective and professional, yet affordable means of fitness to everyone!

I graduated from Indiana State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science in 2019. A couple years later, I became a Certified Exercise Physiologist through The American College of Sports Medicine. I have experience as an Exercise Physiologist at the following gyms: LA Fitness, National Institute for Fitness & Sport, American Senior Communities, and Priority Rehab and Wellness. In addition to education and job experience, I’m also a licensed referee through the U.S. Soccer Federation. Last but not least, I’m certified as an instructor in Parkinson’s Disease through OhioHealth, Delay the Disease.

I design exercise programs for children, teenagers, adults, and seniors. Cardiovascular training, resistance training, flexibility training and sport-specific training are some of the few services provided at Ostean. My passion lies in the act of helping others become better individuals through having a sound-mind and sound-body.
