Roy Englebach, CPT

I was born in Seoul, South Korea, but moved to the United States before the age of one. Raised in Central Pennsylvania, I quickly became an avid sports fan, particularly baseball. Along with baseball, my other passion growing up was with the martial arts. The martial arts is something that will always be a part of me, as well as baseball. I played competitive baseball well into my adult years. And yes, hitting a baseball is as hard as it looks.

My passion for athletics, and curiosity of the human body led me to attend the National Personal Training Institute in Falls Church, Virginia. Here, I obtained a better understanding of the physics of the human body and how to train it. The human body is the most complex and exquisite machine on the planet. I am never surprised by what it can be pushed to do.

My professional career in personal training has consisted mostly of in home training. I don t have anything against gyms, but I have come to feel that in home training can be more intense and effective. The client and trainer relationship will flourish in this atmosphere, as no one is inhibited by the crowd in a gym. I welcome all shapes and sizes, as well as ages.
