MEET OUR TEAM
Joel
GYMGUYZ CO-OWNER/CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER
Joel is the vision behind GYMGUYZ SW Atlanta, proudly co-owning the business with his wife, Erin. A dedicated father of six with a deep background in fitness, Joel saw in GYMGUYZ a chance to fuse his passion for health, leadership, and service into a business that meets people where they are — literally.
He’s driven by a belief that movement is medicine, and that everyone deserves access to personalized, high-quality training that fits their life. Joel takes pride in mentoring his team of elite trainers, equipping them not just with skills, but with a sense of purpose — to help others become stronger, more capable versions of themselves.
When he’s not training clients or building up his team, Joel’s usually soaking in a sunrise, walking barefoot in the grass with his kids, or chasing down new ways to optimize health, performance, and longevity — for himself, his family, and the community he serves.

Erin
GymGuyz Co-Owner
Erin is the heart behind GYMGUYZ SW Atlanta, proudly co-owning the business with her husband, Joel. A busy mom of six, Erin never imagined herself in the fitness industry—but what drew her to GYMGUYZ was the beautiful balance it offered: the ability to build a business she believes in, while still being present at home for the little moments that matter most to her.
Erin is passionate about people and purpose. She finds immense joy in creating space for her team of dedicated trainers to thrive in their calling—helping others live healthier, stronger lives. For her, success means more than numbers; it means supporting people who are passionate about making a difference and watching those ripples of impact reach far and wide.
When she’s not managing operations or cheering on her team, you’ll find Erin homeschooling her kids, sipping strong coffee, and dreaming big about how to grow a business that serves both her community and her family.

Jevon
Certified Personal Trainer
I’ve spent years dedicating myself to training, competing, and constantly striving to be better—both on and off the track. That drive has shaped who I am, but what I’ve found most fulfilling is using my experience to help others reach their own goals. Whether it’s through sharing training tips, offering encouragement, or simply being a source of motivation, I love supporting people on their fitness journeys. Helping others build confidence and unlock their potential is just as rewarding to me as any personal achievement.
