Rob DiTursi, LMT
Certified CrossFit Trainer (Level3)
Head Coach, Owner & CEO
ABOUT ROB
At CrossFit Rising Star, we celebrate the incredible capabilities of the human body. When our bodies are in harmony, life becomes an adventure filled with vitality. Our bones, muscles, nerves, and skin work together seamlessly to help us savor every moment of existence.
In this era of groundbreaking scientific discoveries and the relentless pursuit of human potential, I’ve wholeheartedly dedicated myself to the realms of fitness and bodywork.
My journey into the world of health and fitness ignited in the mid-nineties following a life-altering brush with my own mortality. This experience propelled me towards a profound desire to heal, both myself and others. I embarked on a transformative journey at the Swedish Institute of Massage Therapy in the heart of New York City. There, I graduated and emerged as a New York State licensed massage therapist in 1997.
As time went on, my fitness odyssey led me down diverse avenues, from the raw power of weightlifting to the grace of vinyasa yoga, and the discipline of tai chi and chi gong. Amid these contrasting practices, I gleaned valuable lessons, integrating them into my personal approach to fitness and bodywork.
Yet, the quest for the ultimate fitness regimen persisted. I longed for a holistic program that encompassed strength, flexibility, agility, stamina, accuracy, speed, and more. Then, I discovered CrossFit.
When I delved into the world of CrossFit and explored its training methods, I witnessed the convergence of all the elements I had experimented with over the years. The raw strength from weight training, the flexibility nurtured by yoga, and the dynamic core-to-extremity movements from martial arts came together in a uniquely intense and profoundly functional fitness experience.
My first CrossFit workout was a revelation, an instant addiction. It was at that moment I realized my calling – to become a coach, open a gym, and introduce the transformative power of CrossFit to my community in and around Rutland, Vermont.
In addition to my massage therapy licenses and certifications, I take pride in achieving the status of Certified CrossFit Trainer (Level 3), a distinction held by only a select few in New England. My expertise extends further, encompassing advanced certifications in sports massage, neuromuscular facilitation, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
My quest for optimal health is a perpetual journey. By remaining at the forefront of CrossFit’s proven training principles and practices, by honing my coaching skills, and by nurturing our community of client-athletes, I am committed to enhancing the lives of all those we touch. Together, we can elevate our well-being to its absolute zenith. Join us on this remarkable journey towards a healthier, more vibrant you.

Scott Corbett
CrossFit Level 1 Coach
ABOUT SCOTT
However, as he pursued a career in software engineering, Scott found it increasingly challenging to maintain his fitness through traditional methods of long runs and weight training. It wasn’t until 2011, while traveling for work, that he stumbled upon the CrossFit Games on TV and was immediately captivated by its unique and exhilarating approach to fitness. CrossFit offered a perfect blend of everything he desired in a workout – effectiveness and enjoyment combined.
Although it took a couple of years for Scott to step foot into a CrossFit box, he was instantly hooked upon his first visit. In 2015, he earned his Level 1 certificate, not only to enhance his own knowledge but also to assist others in their fitness journeys. Since relocating to Rutland in 2021, Scott has been an integral part of the CrossFit Rising Star community, both as a dedicated athlete and a passionate coach.
With a shared commitment to growth and a supportive community, Scott Corbett looks forward to many more years of fitness excellence at CrossFit Rising Star. Join him in embracing the exciting journey to a healthier, stronger, and more vibrant life.
