Mitchell Buckmaster
I am a firm believer in holistic health and empowering others. I have played sports my whole life and I am a definite adrenaline junkie. I am an Eagle Scout and love being active outside. I crave physical activity and feel accomplished with it. I got hurt in college and lost my drive for anything.
Once I finished my degree in Health Promotion and Education at OSU, I knew that I wanted to help others become healthy and that I needed to make a positive change. I got certified and became a trainer. I loved learning how the muscles work independently and as a unit. I love to educate my clients on how to properly use the muscles of their bodies in the gym and in life. I love people and I will work with anyone. I want to be a light for those who need change.

Aurora Young
University where I met my husband. Later, I finished my Bachelors Degree at Southern
Nazarene University in Management of Human Resources . I’ve been married 27 years and
have 3 wonderful children. Fitness has always been a part of my life, but I started to become
heavily active after having my children. Any woman who has had a child knows the toll it takes
on your body. So I worked very hard to lose the baby weight and found not only did I lose the
weight, but I was more energetic, slept better, felt like I was doing something for myself, more
stable emotionally and an overall better mom.
My journey to become a Certified Personal Trainer started after a bad back injury and a series
of unrelated surgeries. My husband graciously bought me a package at Elite because he saw
how discouraged I was and fearful of working out again for fear of re-injuring myself. I worked
with a wonderful trainer at Elite that inspired me to do what she did! She helped me regain my
strength, tone, and lose a few pounds and also gain my self confidence, which is what I want to
do with my clients!
I have people ask me all the time “how do you find the time to stay so fit??” My answer is how
can I NOT find the time! Fitness for me is not just for physical purposes but also keeps me
strong mentally and relieves stress and just makes me feel happier. One quote that I love is
“Food is the most abused anxiety drug, exercise is the most underutilized anti-depressant”.
In addition to fitness, I love hanging out and laughing with family and friends, cooking,
experimenting in the kitchen for ideas for healthy meals.
Justin Horton
anxiety. These issues began to take root in his life and showed themselves in everything he
did. He became a hermit and struggled in his duties as a father and husband. One day, he
realized he had given up on himself over time and decided from that point forward to work on
himself. He was 300 pounds at his breaking point. Since then, he has lost 70 pounds and has
a positive, motivational, and encouraging perspective on his future. He works everyday to be an
example for his children and everyone else in his life. He enjoys helping other people reach their
health goals and develop the same outlook he has achieved.
