Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the Team Fidelis website!
Team Fidelis was founded by head coach, Terry Placker in 2013.
The name “Fidelis” comes from the time he spent in the US Marine Corps. “Fidelis” is a Latin term meaning “always faithful”.
Since then we’ve grown to (in my opinion one of the top contest prep teams) with over 200 athletes!
Our track record:
- 25 IFBB Pros Created
- 181 1st Place NPC Champions
- 36 Top 5 National Competitors
- 33 NPC Overall Champions
- 542 athletes placed top 5 at regional level
- 18 IFBB Pros with top 5 placings in their pro debut
- 13 IFBB Pros placing top 5 in their pro shows
- 2 IFBB Pro Wins
- 1 IFBB Pro placing top 5 in his classic physique debut & earning Olympia 2016 qualification
- 2 IFBB Masters Pro wins! (T.A. Martin)
- 2 IFBB Pro Wins resulting in Olympia qualification (Marvin Moss & Kyron Holden)
I’d like to introduce myself now!
A little bit about me…
CEO & Head Coach
I reside in Orange County, CA. I’m blessed to be a father to an amazing, 10 year old, little boy. My son, my parents, and my little brothers are my motivation. I stay focused and driven by the results of my clients. When I see them succeed, it is a driving force for me to work harder for them. I believe if I continue to work hard, stay positive, and keep God 1st, then great things will come. I feel when you have a dream or goal you are trying to attain, as long as you have a heart beat, you have a chance to accomplish it.
I served over 8 years as a Marine Corps Infantryman, including multiple combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan , which has instilled in me the discipline, determination, and willingness to never give up. I take what I learned in the military, apply it to my fitness career, and use that knowledge to train my clients.
I am driven and starving to succeed. I take pride in transforming people, but most of all, inspiring and helping them to become other leaders as well. I truly believe hard work and dedication pays off.
I’m so grateful to be living my dream. I’m enjoying the journey, and love meeting new people along the way.
Assistant Coaches
Weight and Strength Coordinator
Growing up amongst adversity in every corner, I knew I needed a change and found training as my place of peace, of refuge, of solace. Fitness and training in various methodologies brought me a new life. Becoming a part of Team Fidelis gives me a chance to give the change I brought into my life to others.
