Our Coaches
Our coaches and personal trainers not only have a minimum of three YEARS of experience as trainers in the athletic industry - but offer life experience as well. Helping
you reach your personal fitness goals is more than just our part-time hobby; it’s our livelihood and full time commitment to you. Many young or new trainers in the field
mistakenly believe that knowing how to work out means knowing how to effectively train others. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Personal Statement
"My gifts are that I can understand people's desires, strengths, and weaknesses quickly and I have the ability to relate my knowledge
into terms people can understand. Regardless of age or status, I can help someone get from point A to point B in a proactive,
meaningful, and sensible way. I usually see where people are headed long before they do. It's a wonderful asset as a coach (though
it can be annoying to family members).
I am a strong and honest teacher/coach who will bring my students/clients face to face with reality. When someone sees what is true,
it can be painful, but as a teacher/coach and friend, I am there to help my friends overcome their challenges and become a better
person. It's all inside you. Make it happen."

Eric Reichmuth, B.S., Collegiate Swimmer/Triathlete
Brother of Body and Mind Solution's Founder, Cristin, Coach Eric began swimming at the ripe old age of 3 months. Around
age 10, he found the focus and independence necessary to become a competitive swimmer spoke volumes to him. Within
months he posted qualifying times for the fast races on the West Coast. His talent in freestyle led him to anchor several high
school and collegiate team championships. In 2003, he was given a broken and much-too-large Cervelo and competed in his
first triathlon. He placed in the top 10 overall and placed 2nd in his age group. In 2004, he chose to focus on the bike
portion of the triathlon and ended up in Maine after riding 4,500+ miles from Washington State. Eric's heart and ability for
patience are huge which makes him a great target of appeal for children.

Personal Statement:
"I believe being active is so important for both children and adults. Participating in sports or exercising regularly helps to keep
a more healthy and balanced lifestyle. Children need to be introduced to different activities until they find their passion and
more importantly, until they are having fun. It is so crucial that children enjoy the sports they are involved with and are not
pressured to be the best and always win. Children learn the best when they are having fun. And so many of life lessons can
be taught through sports, especially triathlon!"
