Dr. Charlton Butts is a native Palm Beach County resident who has a passion for science and health. As a former athlete with an appreciation for healthy living, the jarring loss of his 56-year-old father inspired a new focus: Assisting others in living a healthier, more fulfilling life. He decided to create a place that provided a much-needed service within his community.

Charlton opened UR Gains Fitness gym in 2021, immediately making a positive impact locally. His ability to maintain long-standing relationships with his clients is because he invests in the health and wellness of those around him consistently. His nature to partner and support clients at any fitness level inspired his service list which offers flexible options that work with anyone committed to a healthier lifestyle.

Charlton’s greatest achievement as a trainer was being recognized as a Health & Wellness Community Leader by the B.O.L.D. Foundation in 2023. He prides himself on being a credentialed exercise professional, holding an active certification through the American Council on Exercise (ACE) since 2018. In addition to his personal training expertise, he also holds a Fitness Nutrition Specialist Certification from ACE. These 2 certifications offer his clients comprehensive education and feedback during their fitness journey and assure goal achievement.

On a personal note, Charlton enjoys striving towards challenging goals leading him to the competitive sport of bodybuilding. So far, he’s participated in 5 competitions in the last 5 years as a vegan bodybuilder. His experience with pushing himself to achieve difficult fitness goals provides him with intimate understanding and empathy throughout the process for all his clients when training no matter the level.

Charlton “Doc” Butts is a Florida native, born & raised locally in Palm Beach County. He was a 4-year scholar student-athlete at Santaluces Community High School before attending The University of Central Florida, where he earned his B.S. degree in Molecular Biology & Microbiology, with a minor in Health Sciences.

It was in high school when Doc developed his passion for exercise and fitness, where the focus was always training to be the best conditioned and agile athlete he could be to perform at maximal capacity during each competition. Once in college, that passion evolved to a higher standard, and diet and nutrition began to become more meticulously managed for the benefit of maximizing exercise results.

During college and post-graduate from UCF, Doc’s unwavering commitment to daily exercise began to attract the interest of his peers, and this would serve as the introductory role for training until becoming a nationally certified trainer with the American Council on Exercise (ACE) in August 2018. In 2020, Doc went a step further and earned his Fitness Nutrition Specialist Certification with ACE so that he could provide more comprehensive workout and nutrition guidance for personal training clients.

As a physician and fitness professional, Doc understands the role of healthy habits and daily activity for overall wellness. Born with a natural disposition for assisting, Doc’s main goal is to help every client reach their desired fitness goals. From experience in the competitive bodybuilding arena, he understands the feeling of pride and achievement once you’ve hit a milestone, and he would love nothing more than to create that same reality for YOU!
