Meet Eric, who’s putting his college education to work at Motivate Fitness PA, where he was recently hired as an Apprentice Trainer with the goal of becoming a Certified Personal Trainer.

Eric shared his story in Motivate’s May newsletter, and it’s one of resilience and determination in the face of tragedy: as a younger man, a motorcycle accident left Eric first in a coma, and then in a wheelchair. Undeterred, he pursued his college degree, graduating with a BS in Fitness Studies.

Now, he’s putting that schooling to work at Motivate, where he’s learning the ins and outs of personal training as he pursues professional certification.  

“After meeting Eric for the first time, I was absolutely blown away by his incredible passion for fitness and his knowledge base,” said Bill, the owner of Motivate. “I knew he would be a perfect fit and inspire others, which is our number one core value.”

Congratulations to Eric on this great new job, where he’s made it his mission to motivate others to achieve their goals.
