Dr. Adam Shafran was born to be a Health and Fitness expert. He played lots of sports growing up, (even football if you can believe that). But he was especially good at tennis and overachieved his way to a national ranking. He was able to parlay his athletic skills to play tennis for Rutgers University where he also pursued his passion of fitness.

After Graduating from Rutgers with a degree in Exercise Physiology, Dr. Shafran traveled to Atlanta, Georgia to attend Life Chiropractic College. Upon earning his Doctorate, Dr. Shafran began practicing in Atlanta and soon found his niche by combining his expertise in Exercise Science with Sports Medicine and began treating many top professional athletes.

His reputation grew so widely in the Atlanta area from not only treating sports injuries but because of his tennis knowledge and ability that he soon became a highly sought after strength and conditioning coach for World Class Tennis Professionals and French Open Champions, Luke and Murphy Jensen. Dr. Shafran became affectionately known as "Dr. Speed" due to his ability to quickly take athletes to the next level of performance. Dr. Shafran's attention to detail with all aspects of sports training, catapulted the Jensens' World Ranking from #72 to a year-ending, astounding #9. Dr. Shafran continued to work with world class athletes such as former world top ten players Brenda Schultz-McCarthy and David Pate and former NCAA Champions Kerri Phebus and Rebecca Jensen.

"Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy is one of my favorite radio shows to be on. They're smart and funny, they ask all the right questions, and it's always a blast to be on the air with them."
