About

I’m Eric, known as The Body Blacksmith—a personal trainer specializing in full-body transformation with a unique focus on glute development. Whether your goal is to build a shapely lower body, tighten your core, or feel stronger from head to toe, I’ll create a program that gets you results you can see and feel. My approach is personalized, not cookie-cutter. You’ll get strategic training tailored to your body, fitness level, and lifestyle—delivered through a powerful app for easy tracking and progress. And when we train in person, we’ll work exclusively at Braniak Gym in Spring, Texas, one of the best-equipped facilities in the area. One of my most popular programs is The Glute Clinic, designed to help women grow stronger, more defined glutes with expert form coaching, progressive workouts, and real accountability. But that’s just one piece of what I offer. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to level up, I’ll help you build lean muscle, boost your confidence, and transform your body with purpose. > This isn’t just about fitness. It’s about becoming the strongest version of you—mentally and physically.

I was in a car accident where I fractured my spine and Eric was extremely helpful with getting me back to where I used to be in terms of strength. He knows what he’s doing and he’s super supportive and understanding

I started the glute clinic the end of January, I’ve been coming to the gym for a year prior but my weight would fluctuate the same 5lbs. I knew it was time for a change and Eric really helped me break through that plateau, I’m happy to say I’ve lost over 20lbs with his class!!

Eric will push you on every workout you will do, he will educate and guide you through everything. Lastly, you will gain a lot of confidence on yourself and of course you will see a lot of growth on your glutes!!
