About founder Eric Roa
Growing up I loved playing all sports and being active everyday. It wasn't until I was 21 years old that I discovered fitness as a true passion. My dad was having some serious health issues concerning his heart. This motivated me to research healthier eating habits and sustainable exercise programs he would enjoy. It soon became an obsession. Before I knew it I was training my dad as well as myself. I was in the gym lifting weights for hours a day and reading every fitness/health article I could find.
Through years of training, researching, learning and experimenting I have refined my skill set. After discovering my passion for fitness, I pursued a college degree in Health, Nutrition and Fitness. I also received my Personal Training Certificate through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). I have received my CrossFit level 1 certification as well as my certification from United States Powerlifting Association (USPA). I have enjoyed traveling to specialized certificate courses, trainings and workshops. These courses have allowed me to learn first hand from experts in the fitness field.
“I’ve been working out with Eric for almost three years now, so obviously I love it. He has a gift for getting me to go beyond my limits and making it fun into the bargain. I hope to be working out with Eric through my sixties and beyond, assuming he’s got the stamina for it of course!”
