What's New This Week!

SPEAKER: Erik Peacock, Founder and Personal Trainer

TOPIC: Puravida Fitness

 

 

Erik Peacock founded Puravida Fitness in 2005 with the vision of helping people transform their bodies and their lives. He has over 25 years of personal training experience and has developed a team of all-star trainers with a combined experience of 32 years working with clients and are all excellent at getting results.

Most people do not have the time, energy, and knowledge to put together effective fitness plans that will keep them motivated and seeing the results they want. We not only train and do nutritional coaching with our clients both in our gym and online but also manage their fitness and nutrition plans using effective systems and technology to keep them accountable to their goals.

This isn't just a business to us but a ministry. We live out our faith by over delivering with our customer service backed by a 100% money back guarantee.

Personal training at Puravida Fitness is geared for people who are tired of being in the large overcrowded, intimidating, and distracting environment of the large box gyms. We offer a smaller, more intimate setting where clients can work on their specific goals in a much more comfortable and relaxed environment without feeling like they are on display. All of our trainers hold nationally recognized certifications and are highly trained in the latest cutting-edge personal training techniques.

We have trainers on staff whose schedules, specialties and personalities can match up with yours. Whether you are recovering from a serious injury or are brand new to exercise, we work with all levels of fitness. Our personal trainers focus on delivering results as well as pampering our clients. We believe our job is to manage your fitness and nutrition plan so you can focus on the other things going on in your life;
