Eric was born and raised in The Triangle and currently resides in Chapel Hill. Eric's love for working out began at an early age while working to enhance his performance in sports. What he soon realized was that he had a greater love for the personal training programs he created than the sports themselves. This lead him to pursue a degree in Exercise Science from UNC-Chapel Hill and attain his nationally accredited personal training certification through NASM. Eric enjoys learning each client's "why" behind the goals they are looking to achieve, as he truly believes the body will follow the mind on their path to success!
