SOBO Strength and Performance was created with the intention of bringing the most comprehensive health and fitness experience to all of Baltimore City. SOBO's results-driven approach covers every aspect necessary to achieve your goals, whether they involve weight loss, a healthier lifestyle, injury rehabilitation, or sports performance.

We hold our staff to the highest standards in the area, with a mandatory base of education, certification, and professional experience required to work here. We will go above and beyond to help you reach your goals, no matter how big or small.

We work directly with local Physical Therapists, Nutritionists, and Massage Therapists to build a more informed program for each individual who works with us. We believe that everyone who steps through our door is an athlete, and every athlete needs to be viewed and trained according to their individual strengths, weaknesses, and goals.

At SOBO Strength and Performance, we promise that any time spent with one of our fitness professionals will be a learning experience that lasts a lifetime. We are looking forward to meeting you and starting the journey together. Train with purpose, move with intention. 

A message from the owner

I developed an interest in strength training when I was 12 years old and a large portion of my life has been spent in gyms or on athletic fields. Since my Sophomore year of college, it's been a dream of mine to own and operate a gym.  These environments molded me mentally and physically more than any other influence in my life. Helping an individual improve their athletic abilities on the field or simply to go up a flight of stairs without pain is my passion.

Health and fitness is a universal human right and necessity, but sadly, the importance of it has been downplayed and dismissed in our current world. My goal is to change that by building a community of people who practice prioritizing their own health. SOBO is here to support and guide you as coaches, friends, and professionals to help you reach your health and fitness goals for life.
