Elijah Johnson

Elijah is an ISSA-certified personal trainer with a strong background in athletic performance, strength training, and overall wellness. With nearly a decade of service in the U.S. Armed Forces, Elijah brings discipline, structure, and a deep commitment to helping individuals reach their full potential—physically and mentally.

Raised in a military family, Elijah lived across the United States before settling in Havelock, North Carolina. A lifelong athlete, he competed in basketball at a high level throughout his youth, developing a foundation rooted in teamwork, perseverance, and goal setting. Those same values are central to his training philosophy today.

Elijah's transition into the fitness industry began during his military career, where he discovered a passion for helping others build strength, confidence, and long-term healthy habits. Since becoming certified, he has worked across a wide range of specialties—from post-injury rehabilitation to competitive bodybuilding. His training approach is client-centered, goal-focused, and grounded in both education and encouragement.

Elijah believes that fitness is a lifelong journey, and he works to ensure every client feels supported, challenged, and empowered every step of the way. His mission is to make an impact in the lives of others by helping them unlock not just physical results, but greater confidence and quality of life.

Outside the gym, Elijah enjoys barbecuing, spending time with his wife and three children, and chasing his kids around the backyard. He brings the same energy and commitment to his clients that he does to his family—focused, dependable, and full of heart.
