Meet our Team

Matthew represents the next generation of the Olympus LKN community. When he’s not helping out around the gym, he’s actively involved in sports by playing for the CTK Tennis Team and is a former baseball player.

His involvement reflects what Olympus LKN stands for: creating an environment where younger athletes can grow, develop, and be inspired by the training culture around them. Additionally, Matthew has taken up powerlifting, and his first competition is in October 2026.

Lastly, Matthew’s career aspiration is to attend a University for Architecture.

A graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology, she is also a competitive Master’s powerlifter dedicated to continual growth in the sport. Jenny is an active member of the USA Powerlifting community, currently serving as a State Referee and officiating events across the Southeast as she works toward her National Referee certification.

With over 8 years of experience in personal training, I bring a results-driven approach rooted in both education and real athletic performance. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education, which has equipped me with a deep understanding of human movement, exercise science, and performance development. My specialties include strength and conditioning, speed and agility training, and overall athletic performance enhancement.

With a football background spanning over 20 years, including one year at the professional arena level, I understand firsthand the discipline, consistency, and training required to compete at a high level. I apply that same mindset when working with clients, whether they are athletes looking to elevate their game or individuals focused on improving strength, conditioning, and overall fitness.

My name is Everett. I am originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, and I am currently attending Christ the King High School as a senior. I was a baseball player for ten years, winning seven championships during this time, but now I have switched to focusing on golf for the last four years of my life. I have been training at Olympus since late July of 2025, and I have now become an employee as of early August of 2026. This gym is owned by an amazing family that gives a welcoming feeling to all people who are looking to build confidence, muscle, and discipline. I've experienced all of this personally through my first year of working out and now through working at this gym. Being able to exercise here has helped me work on myself, and I can easily say it is one of my favorite things to do.

A longtime Olympus member and father of two boys, he brings extensive knowledge, hard-earned experience, and a genuine passion for strength training to the Olympus LKN team.

Although his imposing presence may suggest otherwise, David is a true “big teddy bear”- approachable, generous, and always willing to lend a hand. Whether keeping someone safe with a spot, offering a helpful cue, or sharing advice with members and guests, he consistently puts others first. Inside and outside the gym, David is someone you can depend on, and we are honored to welcome him officially into the Olympus LKN team and family.

I am a recent Exercise Science graduate with a passion for powerlifting and problem-solving.

Outside the gym, I love spending my off time playing sports, recreational games, and thrifting for a new wardrobe.
