In 2018, after having spent most of my career in business management, I was looking for a new challenge and a job change. Fitness has been a priority to me for as long as I can remember, and I realized I could turn that passion into my profession. I became a certified personal trainer in 2019 and began the transition from the “business world” to the “fitness world” by leading group fitness classes at senior centers. While my specialization is in senior fitness, I love training people of all ages and have found Fitness Together to be a wonderful place to pursue my passion. What I enjoy most about working at FT are the clients and the staff! The clients here are fun, thoughtful, energetic people who work hard to improve the quality of their lives through exercise. Working with them inspires me to become the best trainer I can be. The staff at FT is second to none. It is a joy to work alongside people who sincerely care about helping others and who take pride in their work.

in my free time I like to
hike and camp - those are my favorite outdoor activities, and I spend many of my days off in north Georgia playing in the woods! When I’m not at FT or on a trail, I enjoy reading, sketching, going to concerts, and spending time with my family & friends.

Justin was born in New York but grew up in Lawrenceville, GA. Interestingly, his father was born in England! He is the 3rd out of 4 siblings and growing up, Justin always played sports, mainly baseball and basketball. Like many fitness professionals, this is where Justin's love of health and fitness began. Justin graduated from the University of GA with his degree in Exercise Science and since then, he has developed a passion for helping people. He loves seeing the joy they experience from transforming their lives. Justin has a real talent for working with clients who suffer from postural issues, dysfunction, pain and injury. He focuses greatly on technique and recovery, leaving his clients feeling great and ready for more!

in my free time I like to
do so many things! I stay busy playing the drums, listening to music, watching and playing sports, watching movies, fishing, mountain climbing, playing video games, traveling and of course, anything exercise related!

I was born in Florida but have lived in Georgia most of my life. I have one younger brother and as a kid, I did martial arts and had a love for action movies and anime. That led me to pursue other sports as I got older and in high school, I was a sprinter and jumper. Athletics fueled my passion for fitness and led me to discovering that I could have a career in helping others gain better health and fitness! I received my Bachelor's degree in Exercise and Health Science from Georgia State University and I'm certified through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American Council on Exercise (ACE). I absolutely love using my experience and education to help people achieve their fitness goals. Seeing the positive influence that I have on peoples' lives is what gives me purpose and keeps me going!

in my free time I like to
play video games (I've been playing since before I could read!), watch 80's and 90's action movies, and lift HEAVY weights!

I am originally from Louisville, KY but I grew up in Roswell, GA and still live there today! My dad is a regional real estate manager for UPS and my mom is a nurse. I have a younger brother and he is a financial analyst! I am currently at Kennesaw State University, studying for my degree in Exercise and Health Science but I'm currently certified as a Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Growing up, I played sports all the way through high school and was always very active. I've had many injuries myself, so it was my personal journey of getting strong while overcoming those injuries that made me fall in love with personal training. I began a couple of years ago, helping my friends and family when I realized I wanted to help as many people as I could do the same. Then I found Fitness Together! What I love most about training is having a hand in making people better, stronger and healthier but also, I love showing them that the journey can also be fun!

in my free time I like to
hang out with my family, lift weights, play soccer, play games and read! Something interesting about me...I'm a certified scuba-diver and I have a 33-inch vertical jump!!

I was born in Marietta, GA and grew up right here in East Cobb. After attending Walton HS, I went to Kennesaw State University where I received my B.S. in Exercise and Health Science. My family is from Brazil and I have one older brother and we are all very close. I am currently engaged and will be getting married later this year in Greece! Growing up, I‘ve always been interested in the human body and how it works. I thought I wanted to work in a more clinical setting but after working with some clients to help them improve their health in a preventative way, I fell in love with Personal Training. What I love most about personal training is being able to help people become better versions of themselves through health and fitness. An interesting fact about me is that I have travelled quite a bit for my age! I‘ve been to 12 different countries and counting!

in my free time I like to
spend time outside...I love nature and hiking. I love working out (of course) and pilates...reading books, listening to podcasts and finding new recipes that are healthy and actually taste good!
