Personal Trainer/Owner Eric Leader

For as long as he can remember, fitness has always been a part of Eric's life.  At an early age, he remembers his  father stocking the basement of his house with tons of equipment and introducing him to the world of fitness.  Since that day he laughs, he was hooked.

After reading countless books and magazines on fitness, he knew that this was the life for him.  After being introduced to the life of fitness at the age of 13, he continued his pursuits throughout high school and college, as well as his love for sports.  He attended James Madison University, where he received a degree in exercise science and nutrition.  Upon graduation, he became certified by the American Council on Exercise, (ACE) and started personal training and never looked back.

After seven years of personal training, Eric never takes for granted the pride and satisfaction he gets when a client achieves a goal.  He has worked with a broad array of clients.  He has worked with high school and collegiate athletes, right up to seniors wishing to increase functional capacity and overall quality of life.

Eric would love to assist you in achieving your fitness goals.  He believes that with hard work and dedication, any goal can be accomplished.

In addition, Eric would like to thank his loyal clients and in home personal trainers for their constant support and team work.  Without great clients and personal trainers within his company, he knows that he would never be able to make a living doing what he loves, personal training....

Eric mainly is a personal trainer in Towson, Pikesville, Timonium, MD, Hunt Valley, Cockeysville, Ellicott City, Bel Air, Owings Mills, Reisterstown, and Westminster MD.

Personal Trainer Kim

I entered the health and fitness world back in the early 90’s after graduating from Shepherd College (now Shepherd University), with a BS in Business Administration. I started not as a personal trainer, but as an avid participant.  I needed a release from the sedentary day to day of my office routine. I had always been a somewhat active person, but I had no idea that my after hours exercise classes, in the gym, would affect my life as it did. I continually set personal goals for myself. My first step was the gym, where I worked on getting my body in good general condition.  Once I felt like I had a good fitness base I took my routine out doors where I started to do a little running.  My running experiences led into entering my first 10K, not the fastest by not the slowest.  From there I took my running a step higher and eventually competed in the Marine Corp marathon, three times.  I completed this task in respectable time and gained a great sense of accomplishment. Since those days I have entered and completed many road races and triathlon competitions, confirming with each and every event, why it is so important to have a healthy strong body.  My point to all of this is to say, if I can achieve my fitness goals you can achieve yours.  “If there is a will there is a way”.  For me, working out on a regular basis, and seeing the positive changes, both mentally and physically, helped confirm that motivating others to achieve their goals, and live healthier lives, is what I am meant to do.  I have been doing just that for the past nine years, working as a personal fitness trainer and group exercise instructor, and loving every minute of it.  Kim is a personal trainer in Frederick, Mt. Airy, New Market, Monrovia, and Damascus, MD.

Personal Trainer Adam

As a high school and college athlete, I learned that being in shape and knowing your body is very important. In high school, my coach did not get his athletes prepared to excel in our sport, and when I entered college, I was far behind the other athletes. I made it my goal to learn the proper ways to prepare my body for competition. Now that I am a high school coach, I made a promise to myself to never let my players go through what I had to go through. Since then, I have helped many athletes get to the next level. That mentality doesn’t change when I am with a client. I strive to meet my client’s goals and exceed their expectations. Training people is what I do. I am a weight training teacher in a high school and coach a varsity baseball team. Seeing my clients, students and players live better lives because of the knowledge they receive from my sessions make this job fun and exciting. What are your goals? I’ll get you there!!

Personal Trainer Erika

I was born and raised in a small European country, Hungary and had lived there up until my mid-twenties. Growing up in a big family I always helped shopping for fresh produce at the Farmer’s Market and cooking every day with my Mom. Nutritional diet and eating whole foods were always part of my life. Starting Elementary School I was introduced to gymnastics and jazz-ballet, and later in High School I got involved with swimming and resistance training.

I now have my own family, I am a mom of three wonder boys, I work full-time as an accountant and I help people achieving their fitness goals by giving them personal attention and creating individualized programs that meet their desire whether it’s losing some weight, muscle toning, or gaining more flexibility to improve range of motion.

I realize most clients are very busy individuals who do not have time to work out more than 2-4 times a week. With this mind, I try to bring the most out of each session my clients pay for. I design each exercise program with creativeness –incorporating new ideas- to meet our pre-set goals while staying motivated.  Erika is a personal trainer in Gambrills, Millersville, Crofton, Crownsville, Annapolis, Arnold, Severna Park, Glen Burnie, Severn, and other locations throughout MD.

                                     Personal Trainer Sarah                                   

I have always been an athlete. In high school I played soccer, lacrosse, basketball and danced on a premier dance team. I have also excelled at running. I have designed and completed training programs in order to run ten mile races and half marathons. Some of my favorites include the Cherry Blossom Run, Annapolis 10 Miler, and Philadelphia Distance Run (13.1 miles).

I received my B.S. degree in Health Sciences from James Madison University. I believe in using that knowledge to help my clients achieve their fitness goals, which include both nutrition and physical exercise.

I love to exercise, and I believe that getting out of bed and feeling your muscles in the morning is the best feeling in the world! I love to motivate people, and see their expressions and emotions as they begin to achieve goals they may have never thought possible. I will work with you to achieve your specific goal and design a program that fits you as an individual. 

Sarah is a personal trainer in Elkridge, Annapolis, Crofton, Severna Park, Severn, Millersville, Crownsville, Gambrills, Arnold, and other locations in MD.
