During her many years in the fast-paced world of politics and government, from Capitol Hill to Frederick's City Hall, Eva Rosvold kept her mind and her body in top form by adhering to a regular running regimen and by practicing Yoga. She learned first-hand that focusing on fitness, no matter how busy or harried she got, was a life saver and allowed her to keep up with her active lifestyle. Eva traded in the world of power politics and founded Fundamental Fitness in 2004 to empower others with the tools and knowledge that worked so well for her.

Roy Englebach, CPT

I was born in Seoul, South Korea, but moved to the United States before the age of one. Raised in Central Pennsylvania, I quickly became an avid sports fan, particularly baseball. Along with baseball, my other passion growing up was with the martial arts. The martial arts is something that will always be a part of me, as well as baseball. I played competitive baseball well into my adult years. And yes, hitting a baseball is as hard as it looks.

My passion for athletics, and curiosity of the human body led me to attend the National Personal Training Institute in Falls Church, Virginia. Here, I obtained a better understanding of the physics of the human body and how to train it. The human body is the most complex and exquisite machine on the planet. I am never surprised by what it can be pushed to do.

My professional career as a personal trainer has consisted mostly of in home training. I don't have anything against gyms, but I have come to feel that in home training can be more intense and effective. The client and trainer relationship will flourish in this atmosphere, as no one is inhibited by the crowd in a gym. I welcome all shapes and sizes, as well as ages.

Steve has been involved with and had a passion for athletics since childhood and has been working in the fitness industry since 1997. He first began personal training for Fitness First Health Clubs and decided that helping individuals achieve their personal goals with regards to their health and well being was what he wanted to spend his life pursuing.
