    Alec is a Towson University graduate with a Bachelor's in Exercise Science and a minor in Psychology. He found his passion for fitness when he wanted to get better at basketball in 6th grade. That passion didn’t make him much better at basketball; but by building the proper foundations, it helped him focus on the important skills of any sport he played. This is where Alec believes that, through health and wellness, you can focus on the smaller, more important things in life without limitations. To give everyone the ability to focus on and enjoy the little things in life, drives Alec to continuously provide the best training and knowledge to his clients.

    Cook, experience new food, spend time outdoors, and broaden my knowledge base. I especially enjoy these experiences if I can share them with loved ones.

    Kristine graduated from Towson University with a B.S. in Exercise Science. Growing up, she played different sports year-round, two of her favorite being swimming and field hockey.
