When Roger and Elanna Schwab decided to retire in 2015 and sell their Bryn Mawr gym, Main Line Health & Fitness, they did not expect to be back in business anytime soon, writes Laura Brzyski for the Philadelphia Magazine.

But by 2018, the pair had opened X-Force Philadelphia and continued their business as usual.

“Retirement didn’t work for us,” said 75-year-old Roger Schwab.

That development was not too surprising for either of them. Elanna Schwab is a champion dragon boat paddler and personal trainer who used to operate a health club in Tel Aviv.

Meanwhile, Roger Schwab has accumulated an impressive resume over the years that included him being Penn State’s first strength and conditioning coach, a trainer for U.S. women’s Olympic swimming and field hockey teams, and head judge of the International Federation of Bodybuilders. In total, he has been a strength trainer for over half a century.

Today, he is focused on eccentric strength training, which keeps him in amazing shape. And neither he nor his wife have any plans of slowing down any time soon.
