MMA fighter and elite strength coach Phil Daru is a warrior.

As the famous expression from biblical scripture reads, iron sharpens iron as one man sharpens another. In order to BE the best at anything in life, you need to train with and like the best.

In Boca Raton, FL, Daru Strong Performance Gym is where champions are made.

Today coach Chris Wilson gets inside the mind of a warrior as champion coach Phil Daru dives deep into his past, his passion for fighting, his love of training and why he’s not yet satisfied.

 

"Dustin winning his fight was amazing with Conor (McGregor), definitely a highlight of my career but I'm not satisfied yet." -Phil Daru
