A program built around your body, your injuries, your schedule and the thing you actually want to change. Coached by people who will know your name by week two.
Bernie Cevis has coached professionally since 2014. Before that came twenty years of football, an NCAA Division II National Championship and semi-professional ball. He started as a personal trainer at Merritt Clubs in White Marsh, helped open Empowered Fitness in Nottingham in 2017, and opened Faithful Fitness in Elkton in 2019 with a focus on functional strength, athletic performance and body transformation.
His goal for every client is simple: that you exceed your goals and have a good time doing it. His mantra is Everyday Grinding, because that is what it takes to truly improve.
He leads a coaching team that includes coaches like Becki, whose personal training members credit for better muscle tone, endurance and balance, without injury.

A free 45 minute conversation: what you want to change, what has not worked before, and what your body will not let you do yet. Nothing to sign.
Strength, conditioning, boxing, sports specific work or rehab-aware training, in whatever mix fits you. Nutrition tracking is part of it, not a separate product.
The plan changes as you change. Progress is measured with Evolt body scans instead of guessed, and the coach adjusts the work to your results.
Private sessions designed entirely around you. A 30 minute personal training session is $50, and 45 minute and 1 hour sessions can be booked online.
12 personal training sessions of 45 minutes, 1 to 6 athletes per coach, a monthly Evolt body scan and a fitness assessment. $439.
Prefer to train on the pads? 1-on-1 boxing is $45 for 30 minutes, $60 for 45 minutes and $70 for an hour. See boxing.
Members come to Faithful Fitness specifically because the coaching adapts. Every movement has a version that fits where your body is today, and the coaches know when and how to change an exercise for a limitation. In members' own words:
“Bernie helped me through a hip labrum injury tailoring my workouts so that I was able to prepare for surgery which in turn helped me to recover more quickly than I normally would have.”
