Sofia is originally from New Jersey and moved to Delaware after graduating from the University of Delaware in 2022, where she earned a Bachelors in Exercise Science and Strength & Conditioning. She has been an athlete for her entire life, mostly playing soccer, then transitioning that athletic ability toward general strength and fitness in the gym. Sofia loves strength training and believes that every person has a little bit of athleticism within them that's just waiting to be unleashed. When not in the gym, she enjoys knitting and crocheting, doing 1000+ piece puzzles, and playing with her cat, Violet!

Sean graduated from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science and Kinesiology in the pursue to become a Physical Therapist. Sean started his journey as a small 90lbs kid going into High School and realized something had to change. His dad went to the gym a lot and Sean made the decision to go with him one day and that’s when his whole world changed. Sean became fascinated with all the different workout, techniques, and muscles to focus on; that he decided to share that fascination with friends/family that didn’t know the wonders of Fitness. Sean believes that every client has different goals and reasons they would like to achieve those goals, and he loves taking that initiative to find out what your drive is in order to help you work towards success in your fitness journey. Sean’s goal is to transform your mindset away from thinking “I HAVE to exercise” to “I WANT to exercise” because in the end fitness is a lifestyle and a journey worth taking!
