Sean Rooks

Sean is a Pacific Northwest native who grew up in the Seattle area, where he attended high school and then earned his Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Finance from Central Washington University. He remains a lifelong fan of the Seattle Mariners, Seattle Seahawks, and Washington State Cougars.

Before entering the fitness industry, Sean spent 20 years in IT, building a strong foundation in systems, strategy, and problem-solving – skills he now brings to every aspect of The Energy Lab. As a co-owner, Sean does it all: from marketing, finance, accounting, and HR to hands-on coaching, teaching classes, and performing Fascial Stretch Therapy sessions.

His passion for helping people move and feel better led him to earn his Level 1 Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) Certification in 2018. Since then, he has advanced to a Level 3 practitioner, specializing in helping clients reduce pain, improve mobility, and leave every session feeling better than when they walked in.

Sean also played a key role in building The Energy Lab’s hybrid training identity. He launched both the DEKA and HYROX programs at the studio, helping grow them into a cornerstone of the community. Under his leadership, The Energy Lab became the first DEKA Affiliate in California and is the only official DEKA and HYROX affiliate in the Inland Empire. He has helped host over 25 DEKA events, helping The Energy Lab earn a reputation for running some of the best competitions in Southern California.

Sean has been married to his wife and business partner, Jill, for 31 years, and together they’ve raised a son and daughter while calling Loma Linda home for over two decades.

At his core, Sean is driven by building systems, community, and experiences that help people become better – one step, one session, and one percent at a time.
