Matthew Stocker’s Trinity Fitness

Best Personal Training

Chasing down a new fitness goal doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Begin by putting one foot in front of the other, says Matthew Stocker, owner of Trinity Fitness. “Just start somewhere, even if that looks like walking 15 minutes.” It’s important, of course, to pick a plan you’ll stick with. “Don’t wait until it starts raining until you look for the umbrella,” Stocker says. “Stay on top of your health before you have to seek help when there is a real health issue.”

Stocker first opened his gym in Easton in 2009 and then moved about a mile down the road to the Simon Silk Mill complex in 2017, where he says he had the freedom to create the kind of gym he always wanted. He describes his facility as “spacious, luxurious and surgically clean.” Stocker hopes it’s also the kind of place people will come to see as a second home, where he can build partnerships with his clients, who oftentimes become more like friends. “Fitness at times becomes less about weights and more about relationships,” says Stocker. “The world had been knocking people down and pulling them in all different directions. It is our job to untangle the knot life has tied before the person leaves.”
