In Home Personal Training: Personal Trainer Bio

Erik Jones Owner, Fundamental Fitness Certified Personal Trainer, Cooper Institute

Erik was born and raised in the Chicago area and moved to Texas in 2000. With a degree in business, he worked in corporate environments in both accounting and human resources. It was while working as an HR consultant with top executives at a Fortune 50 company that he discovered his passion for coaching and helping others succeed.

Erik is also a lifelong sports and exercise enthusiast. He played baseball up through high school, and has always tried to make time for biking, running, and strength training. After his first child was born, he realized the demands on his time between work and home were taking a toll on his health and wellness. He and his wife decided to hire an in-home personal trainer, and it was through that experience that Erik found how he could combine his interest in exercise with his passion for coaching.

Through his own experiences with diet and exercise, Erik firmly believes that anyone can make significant positive changes in their life with the right motivation, information, and coaching. His goal in founding Fundamental Fitness is to provide a convenient and effective way for people with busy lifestyles to achieve their health and wellness goals.

Erik and his wife live in Frisco, Texas, and are proud parents of two wonderful kids, a son and a daughter.
