Born in Griffin, Georgia – it wasn’t long before Elliott Baugh’sparents moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina – where his life’s roots began to shape. It was there in Fayetteville that Elliott’s high school years truly kicked off what was to be a true athletic ability. As many young men were, Elliott was a huge football (Tar Heels and Dallas Cowboys) fan throughout youth; hence running guys down on the field was a favorite pastime. His high school years were also spent on wrestling mats, perfecting the rear naked choke in the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It was during that period when Elliott began to study and understand exercise physiology, which was the first real hint of his future career as a personal trainer.
Elliott attended High Point University, where he studied Sports Marketing and earned a NASM certification as a personal trainer. From there, he was propelled into both a new career in fitness and a new career as a Dad. Both careers presented their own set of challenges. Since Elliott has always been a man of challenges since childhood, he prides himself in his perseverance and beliefs. “Life is not guaranteed, so I believe you have to give your body every advantage you can by being fit. My philosophy is;
"No matter how hard things may be, just keep going. We’ll get there together.’”
