Morgan
Certified Personal Trainer & Certified Fitness Nutrition Trainer
Hi, I’m Morgan! I’m originally from Columbus O.H. and I discovered my passion for health and fitness in 2012. After years of learning so much on my own and helping others as best as I could, I decided in 2016 I wanted to pursue a career in personal training, and helping as many people as I could become the best version of themselves. In 2017 I received my first certification in personal training through ISSA. Later that same year, I received my certification in fitness nutrition also through ISSA. I wanted to know as much as possible to be a better trainer. So in 2018 I received my second personal training certification through NASM. I’ve successfully helped many people throughout the past two years, both in person and through online training. I can’t wait to help you become your best self here at Fitness Together.
Patty
Studio Lead Trainer, Certified Personal Trainer
My name is Patty and I’m originally from Colombia South America. The physics of the body have always attracted me since a young age and it is why I attended college to study physical therapy for two years. When I moved to the United States in 1999, I found my passion for fitness. I became a certified personal trainer in 2005 In Greenville SC where I lived for 12 years. I felt the need to help others to achieve their fitness goals, and I also started to compete in NPC competitions as a fitness competitor. My goal is to motivate my clients, challenge them, and help them build the best version of themselves. My focus will always be to help individuals achieve a balanced lifestyle that is within health and wellness guidelines so they can stick with it as part of their daily life, not just an event thing.

Lennard
Owner, Certified Personal Trainer
Hi, I'm Lennard and I am the proud owner of Fitness Together Steele Creek.
Fitness and being active have been an important part of my life ever since I started playing soccer at the age of five.
An unfortunate knee injury ended my soccer career at the age of 18. After Surgery and Physical Therapy my strength still wasn’t where it used to be and I joined the local gym to continue to rehabilitate the injury on my own by building up additional strength and flexibility.
Having pursued Triathlon for a few years in my early to mid-twenties, I then continued to focus on classical Strength and Endurance Training as I was building a career in Information Technology. However, Fitness remained my passion and I continued to exercise and run 5-6 times per week.
After 20+ years in the Information Technology field and the Corporate World, I started to feel the impact of continuous stress to my overall health and well-being and realized that I had to make a Lifestyle change.
Focusing on what has always been an important part of my life was the natural next step and as the opportunity presented itself, I retired from my job in Information Technology and acquired Fitness Together Steele Creek.
My wife, our three children, our dogs and I have been living in Steele Creek since 2005 and it is now the place we call home.
At Fitness Together I get to work with many great people every day, and I have the opportunity to help them achieve their fitness and health goals, right here in our community.
Come see us!
