Get to Know Joel

     My name is Joel Conroy, and I am the founder and CEO of Highway 2 Health. My passion for exercise started as a young kid who always enjoyed sports and progressing the body. In early high school, I received an injury to my shoulder and back during a basketball game that ended my chance of playing sports in college. I prioritized recovery and nutrition which later allowed me to compete in strongman and bodybuilding sports.

    During 2019, I started my first coaching business, Power Up Strength, where I coached strongmen, bodybuilding, powerlifting, and exercise therapy and recovery. When schools and gyms closed, I moved to coaching online where clients would utilize any equipment we could find, like backpacks, sandbags, resistance bands, cars, and their own bodyweight. The first client I’ve ever worked with was a trucker I met at a nutrition store I worked at throughout high school and college. He previously lost his CDL and ability to work after having a heart attack on the road. After 7 months of hard training and dieting, he was able to obtain his CDL again and still drives today. His story and success inspired me to become a full-time coach and CEO to help our truckers. Outside of coaching person clients and working at the nutrition store, I’ve also served as the head strength and conditioning coach and drum line director at a high school in Texas.

     Since 2019, my mission is to empower others through knowledge and achievement in athleticism, health, and other personable goals. So far, my team has achieved 32 State Powerlifting records, 7 National Powerlifting records, IFBB Professional status, Texas State and Regional awards in basketball, football, volleyball, and baseball, and have earned a health lifestyle.
