Our Story

5IVE™ was founded by Troy Trecroce and Dr. Chris Ristuccia, two friends who met in 2012 at Florida State University while pursuing undergraduate degrees, along with their personal trainer certifications. As college roommates, they bonded over their shared passion for fitness, performance, and helping others reach their potential. Over the years, their careers took them in different directions—Troy serving 11 years in the U.S. Air Force , and Chris becoming a board-certified chiropractic neurologist. But they both saw the same problem in the fitness industry: an overwhelming amount of misinformation, flashy marketing, and confusing supplement choices that left consumers frustrated, overwhelmed, and misled. Determined to change that, they combined their expertise to create 5IVE, a brand built on simplicity, science, and performance. They designed a curated lineup of essential supplements that cut through the noise and deliver real, measurable results. Backed by their backgrounds in fitness training, the military , and medical science, Troy and Chris set out to build more than just a supplement company—they created a community focused on education, authenticity, and helping people push achieve their fitness goals. Whether you're an elite athlete or just getting started, 5IVE is here to fuel your progress.

Troy Trecroce, Co-Founder

I’m Troy—co-founder of 5IVE™ and a lifelong fitness junkie with a love for helping people cut through the noise and focusing on what really matters. After 11 years in the Air Force, I took everything I learned about leadership, discipline, and pushing limits and channeled it into building a brand that actually helps people feel and perform better. Whether I’m lifting weights, running marathons, or working on new products here in St. Pete, I’m all about keeping things real, simple, and effective.

Dr. Chris Ristuccia, Co-Founder

I’m Dr. Chris—chiropractor, professor, and co-founder of 5IVE™. I love all things performance, from neurology to lifting heavy, and I’ve spent the last 8 years helping people move and feel better with a mix of science, strength training, and real-world experience. When I’m not in the clinic or the classroom, you’ll probably find me running, lifting, or wrangling one of my four Dutch Shepherds out in Bunnell with my wife Claire. At 5IVE™, I’m all about bringing legit, no-nonsense fitness and wellness to the people who care about results.
