Real Fitness Trainers was founded in 2003 by managing partner Byron Kramer and Michael Llorens. We have been at our present location in Norcross since February of 2004, and are expanding to a new, 5227 square foot facility in May of 2008.
Because of his education and experience, Byron Kramer or the trainers and teachers that work under him can assist you in achieving your fitness goals. Unlike many personal trainers that have spent a few years lifting weights and then took a certification class, Byron Kramer is a degreed professional with extensive training in kinesiology, nutrition and the health sciences. He earned a bachelors degree from Ferris State University with a major in Biology and with minors and Chemistry and Physical Education. He then spent a year in a PhD program in Human Anatomy at the University of Tennessee at Memphis. He is a competitive distance runner and triathletes, having placed 8th in the US in the 1500 meters in his age group in 2004.
After spending a number of years coaching and teaching high school Human Anatomy and Physiology and AP Biology, Mr. Kramer turned to personal training full time in 2001.
Michael Llorens earned an MBA from Mercer University in 2004 and now works as a business broker. Although he does not actively train clients, he shares our passion for fitness.
Byron and Michael hand pick all of the trainers that are here to help you achieve your fitness goals. We share in the philosophy that we are here to help our clients feel great and be happy by making lifestyle changes to incorporate fitness into their daily lives.
Our trainers have a wide variety of skills and specialties, from power lifting to body building, martial arts, cross fit training, to accomplished football, basketball and baseball players to accomplished distance runners and even dancers. We have the training, people skills and enthusiasm to make it happen for you
