There is an overload of information thrown around the Internet and in magazines, much of it being contradictory of each other. It almost makes your head explode trying to figure out what routine is right and what is wrong. Take the guesswork out of that and let a CASS Fitness Certified Personal Trainer work with you to help you reach your goals faster. Whether it is weight loss and fat loss for your wedding, overall fitness for better health, bodybuilding workouts for your next competition, corrective exercise to help you recover from your injuries quicker, or specific routines to help you excel in your sport, we have a trainer who can meet your needs.
We travel to your location, making it convenient for you. You do not have to drive to the gym, wait in cardio row for a half hour after work, or wonder if you are doing an exercise correctly since unfortunately there is a lot of bad form in the gym. Your personal trainer will show you the “how”, the “what”, the “why” of your exercises in your routine. Every personal trainer is certified by an accredited school and is fully insured.
We will also help you keep track on your off days as well with our personal trainer software which you can use as an app or on your computer. This makes it very easy for you to keep track of your workouts, fill in your statistics, graph your results, and see firsthand the progress you have made.

BIO:
I have been in fitness my whole life. I am a sports lover and I grew up in Gaithersburg, MD playing all sports. I found a passion for Football and Track, but settled on Football playing on scholarship at Saint Augustine’s University. My love for sports transferred over to a healthy living lifestyle. This helps me to get others to teach and learn about the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle. I just like to help others and to have them leave me with the best attitude.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Guidance and support in developing and maintaining a physically active lifestyle by improving function; exploration of interesting physical activity options to continue to optimize health, function, and fitness.
FAVORITE QUOTE:
“It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or a Gazelle” “Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle: when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

A Message
As an Individual, I’m committed to living my life fully both naturally and spiritually, without compromise or settling for someone else’s definition of what that looks like for me – including my nutritional choices. As a Wellness Professional, I am dedicated to providing the same approach with professionalism, compassion and transparency.
You can’t effectively understand and know who you are if you are allowing your obstacles to define you. Many times, even our health issues can create a paradigm where we start seeing ourselves as an extension of our conditions and not as empowered individuals with a choice to proactively manage our lives. We can become needless casualties, suffering because of the lack of knowledge and understanding. I began my journey into life coaching because the need for change is necessary. Support is essential in defining a healthy environment for oneself and many people often find this process difficult. Many challenges come when facing the possibility of transformation in an environment that remains misaligned and perpetually unchanging. I commit to serving my clients through continual research, education, application and interpersonal exchange. My individualized approach developed out of my desire to assist others as they embark upon their path towards wholeness….

BIO:
Hello and pleasure to meet you. My name is Matthew Griggs. I’m an NPC Bodybuilder, but first I’m a husband and father of three kids. Through the grace and blessings of God, I’m able to pursue my bodybuilding career, and also help others on my journey. I have been an athlete all my life, from midget wrestling to high school football. I picked the weights back up after I became a shocking 235 lbs, all belly, and slowly developing health problems. What did I do to change myself? I mentally went back to my old athletic days, used that old fire, and determination to achieve the look I have today. Not only do I look good, but I feel better than I look. That is the goal I would like to share with you through CASS Fitness!
