Peyton Thomas
Coordinator, Fitness Operations
I’ve spent over 10 years as a strength and conditioning coach, and what has always motivated me is seeing people grow in confidence and realize what they’re capable of. Fitness has never been just about getting stronger physically; it’s about building habits, overcoming challenges, and creating a better version of yourself. At UREC, I get to continue doing what I love by helping create an environment where people feel supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow. My goal is to help others recognize their potential, celebrate their progress, and build the confidence to take on new challenges in all areas of life.

Purple & Gold Forever
“Forever L-S-U!” It’s a simple but powerful line that captures the pride, traditions, and lifelong connection that come with being part of the LSU community.
Fantasy Football Legend
I won my fantasy football league three years in a row! At this point, I’m starting to think I might have a future as an NFL general manager.
Words to Live By
Never be afraid to bet on yourself! Sometimes, the biggest risks lead to the greatest rewards, and you owe it to yourself to discover just how far you can go.
