Dr Eric Trexler previously held a USAPL state squat record in powerlifting and earned his pro status as a drug free bodybuilder after coming from a background in baseball, football and wrestling throughout high school.

Since 2009 Eric has been coaching a variety of athletes including wrestlers, football players and Special Olympics powerlifters. More recently, he has pivoted towards helping people reach a wide range of fitness and wellness goals through his online coaching programs at Trexler Fitness LLC.

Eric has obtained Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Exercise Science and completed a PhD in Human Movement Science at UNC Chapel Hill. While pursuing his degrees, he completed extensive coursework related to movement, exercise, nutrition, metabolism, psychology and behaviour change.
