Winter Garden power couple redefines success

Although Winter Garden residents Tony and Christelle Renta work in two separate industries, they both believe in the simple principle of prioritizing the client experience at all times. 

Each runs a small business — located directly next door to each other on Terra Mango Loop. Tony Renta owns On-Call Training Solutions, while Christelle Renta owns The Restoration Place Clinic.

“Someone is spending their hard earned money on your service, and they deserve your attention and the best version of your service you can provide,” Tony Renta said. “We continue to be inspired to impact and change people’s lives through health, wellness and education as people who are equipped with knowledge, and we go forward and influence others to make the same positive choices. We may be able to place our finger on the starting point of our education and service, but we are proud to know that the end point is infinite.”

ON-CALL TRAINING SOLUTIONS

Tony Renta was born in The Bronx, New York, but grew up on the east side of Orlando.

He studied business at Valencia Community College and transitioned into fire service after seeing a flier for EMT school. He went on to become a firefighter paramedic and moved up the ranks where he later retired as a battalion chief paramedic from Orange County Fire Rescue.   

Tony Renta began teaching American Heart Association courses in 2007 for AdventHealth. He then began teaching paramedic school locally before launching his own concierge company, On-Call Training Solutions. 

“Health care professionals have a challenging job and environment, and we strive to make the required learning aspects a bit easier and accommodating to their demanding schedule when they are not on the job,” he said. “By providing concierge service to health care providers on their time, they had the opportunity to meet their job requirements while optimizing a date and time that was most conducive to their work and home schedule.”

The business provides basic CPR, AED and first aid training, as well as Basic Life Support, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, Advanced Stroke Life Support and a Neonatal Resuscitation Program.  

Tony Renta was deemed a top 40 Under 40 business owner in the CPR industry in 2022, as well as Florida Paramedic Instructor of the Year in 2013.   

In the future, Tony Renta hopes to begin business coaching and consulting in the educational space. 

“The goal would be to empower other instructors to grow their following and reach by providing quality education and exceptional customer support,” he said.

THE RESTORATION PLACE CLINIC

Christelle Renta was born in Sarasota and grew up in Bradenton.

She graduated from Florida State University and later completed her master’s degree at South University.  

She started her nursing career in the ER at AdventHealth East Orlando and moved into the ICU, with intentions of going back to school.  

She worked brief stints in women’s health and internal medicine before finding her passion in bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and disease prevention.

She worked with a previous practice until she launched her own practice, The Restoration Place Clinic, in December 2021.  

“I believe that a mixture of Eastern and Western medicine can provide an integrative approach to health care and improve the overall health of my patients,” Christelle Renta said. “I feel that a missing element in medicine is the ability to be heard and not just seen as a number.”

Christelle Renta’s clinic offers patients a medical home where they are known as individuals and empowered to make lifelong health a top priority.  

The business offers health care options in disease prevention and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, as well as a variety of in-office treatments, such as nearly painless laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation, weight loss treatment/coaching and nutritional testing.  

The  practice recently added an advanced practice registered nurse to assist in caring for more patients while maintaining quality relationships.

In the future, Christelle Renta would like to add additional providers to her roster to care for more patients.

Tony and Christelle Renta hope their children will potentially take over the businesses in the future, leading to an early retirement for the couple. 

When not working, the Rentas enjoy eating at local restaurants, hanging out with friends and participating in family activities.  

Although being parents, maintaining relationships, prioritizing fitness, maximizing business, following a strong sense of faith and more can be a lot to balance, the couple shared that time is the most valuable commodity. 

“You can always make more money, but you’ll never make more time,” Tony Renta said. “We believe as a family that we put our trust in God. We show love, grace and respect to those around us. We feel that our memories are invaluable. So, creating them is a privilege we don’t take lightly. We are careful to plan things accordingly, so as to ensure at least one parent is always present at the kids’ events, and that we make time for one another on a weekly basis in the form of date nights both in and out of the house. We prioritize fitness, family walks, family discussions, living in the moment and prayer. Success is never given, it is earned, but success takes on many more appearances beyond a bank account. We hope to set the right example for our kids and those around us as it pertains to finances, work/life balance, family dynamics and overall outlook on life."
