WE DEFINE
Professional TRAINING

Hey, it's Charles and Dakota here 👋

And, while we don't claim to know it all, we HAVE helped thousands of people transform their body & mind by creating a sustainable step by step action plan. They claim to have a Ruck mentality. 💪
And yet…

Not that long ago, We were in your shoes.

Those early days were rough. I (Charles) going from a professional athlete to.... what now? And Dakota literally being carried inside the gym because she had zero interest in working out to diving head first into everything there was to know about food, workouts, cardio, competing.

We'd take a step forward only to take three more back. We were drowning in self doubt, frustration, questions about our future.

Anyways, if that's kinda how you feel right now...

Let us give you a road map, so that you stop hitting dead ends or getting lost on back roads, and instead take the fast lane to a healthy lifestyle that you can be proud of.

Let us show you that you can reinvent your life and create a better you.💪

👇 Here is what we’re proposing. 👇

We've had a TON of people reach out to us asking for our help.

So we had this crazy idea to build a step by step plan to guide you from being stuck in a rut and not knowing where to start (again) to knowing what it takes to live and think in a healthy way.

No fluff. No messing around, just a simple plan to take you from being discouraged to confident in yourself and the way you think.

Charles Rucker

Owner and founder of Ruck Nutrition

Charles Rucker, a gifted athlete from Morristown, Tennessee, was raised by a single mother on disability, and his grandmother, whose love, strength, and determination instilled in him a conquer-any-challenge mentality. Charles had a bright future in football and track, but his life took a drastic turn when he got into a car accident in his freshman year at the University of Cumberland. Despite the injuries that nearly cost him his life, he was determined to get back on the field. After transferring to Middle Tennessee State University, he won a National Championship with the Nashville Storm arena football team before turning to bodybuilding. Overcoming the lingering effects of the accident and surgeries, Charles competed in various competitions, finishing second at the Tampa Pro and losing the World Title by one point at the Arnold Classic in 2020. Along with the challenges of the competitions, he had to deal with the loss of 13 family members and friends, including his grandmother, which he describes as a season of preparation for his next challenge. Charles stated that despite facing challenging situations, he was able to persevere with the support of his team. He believes that during times of devastation, it may actually be a period of preparation for reaching the next level. Adversity can lead to personal growth. These experiences helped Charles to re-evaluate and refocus on his vision for the Ruck brand. As a result, Ruck Nutrition now has two physical stores and a full product line. Additionally, the brand is sold globally on Amazon.

Dakota Rucker

Dakota's athletic journey can be traced back to her elementary school days. Despite some skepticism regarding cheerleading as a sport, she remained committed to her craft. In the years following high school, Dakota transitioned to bodybuilding and achieved significant success in this competitive arena, ultimately winning her class in figure.

However, after two years of competition and preparation, Dakota discovered that her true passion lay in inspiring and leading others, rather than solely focusing on personal achievements. She recognized that bodybuilding entails more than standing on stage or possessing an enviable physique, as it also involves cultivating positive mental health and self-esteem, even in the face of adversity, criticism, and distractions.

Acknowledging that each individual faces unique challenges, Dakota strives to provide the necessary support, guidance, and mindset shifts to empower others to achieve their goals and live confidently in their bodies and minds. She cherishes her role in a community that emphasizes holistic wellness, both physically and mentally.

In her own words, "I am grateful for a platform that advocates not only for a healthy lifestyle in the gym, but also in one's own mind, recognizing that true wellness starts from within."
