Pat Croce

There’s no better show of confidence in something or someone than investing your time, energy and money! In 2006, this is exactly how Pat Croce showed his confidence in Smooth Fitness and we could not have wished for a better marriage.

For those of you familiar with Pat, you know that fitness is a huge part of his life, and his unrivaled ability to motivate and his entrepreneurial spirit are in a class of their own.

Pat’s diverse background is a story in and of itself. His humble beginnings make his success story even more impressive. He opened his first sports medicine center in 1979 and never looked back. After 16 years of hard work, Pat sold his chain of sports rehab centers and continued his rehab on the Philadelphia 76ers. As president and minority owner from 1996-2001 Pat transformed a sports franchise as well as the city of Philadelphia. He brought the fun and excitement back to Philadelphia sports taking the 76ers from worst in the league to first winning the Eastern Conference Title in 2001 going on to play the LA Lakers in the NBA Finals. His infectious personality makes you feel guilty if you’re not excited at all times.

Next on Pat’s list was television, as an announcer for the 2004 Olympics as well as his own nationally syndicated show, Pat Croce: Moving in. His most recent stint was on the hit ABC show, American Inventor. Along with his numerous television appearances he has written several books including his New York Times Best Seller I Feel Great and You Will Too!, 110%: 110 Strategies for Feeling Great Every Day, and Pirate Soul: A Swashbuckling Journey Through the Golden Age of Pirates to name a few. All of this while traveling the country on his public speaking circuit motivating thousands from companies such as AT&T, GlaxoSmithKline, and Nextel. The common thread as you can see is MOTIVATION!

Pat is a one-of-a-kind, a genuine person who tells it like it is. His honesty and integrity is unquestioned, this alone made him a perfect fit for Smooth Fitness. We searched him out and were lucky to find he agreed it was a perfect fit!
