Local gym owner, Roslyn native, and NGA pro natural bodybuilder “Fitman” Eric Brown will make a guest appearance at the Vitamin Shoppe in Abington, 1817 Old York Road, this Saturday, July 8, from 9:30am to 11:30am.

“I embrace the opportunity to get a chance to talk to my people in Abington about the countless benefits of living the fit life and unleashing their inner greatness,” Fitman said. “I was born in West Philly, but I was made and raised in Roslyn. I’ll have a table set-up and I’m looking forward to interacting with my community!”

The opportunity was set up by Justin Wynder, store manager at the Abington Vitamin Shoppe.

“Justin is a cool young brother. We had a great conversation at my gym about a range of topics relating to fitness and business,” Fitman said. “I absolutely respect the fact that he is dedicated to the hustle. He created an excellent fitness apparel line, named RelentlessJ Gym Apparel. He’s headed in the right direction.”

Fitman wants to use his story to inspire the community.

“In 2010, I started my journey to become a professional natural bodybuilder. And the overwhelming majority of the people in the fitness space told me that I would never accomplish that goal,” he said. “What they did not realize is that their extreme doubt in my ability to overcome the odds gave me the fuel to reach my goal. Most people did not believe in the skinny kid from Roslyn but I had a vision of what I wanted to become. And in 2022 I earned my pro card in natural bodybuilding by winning the NGA Mr. Natural Philadelphia.”

“I take being a professional natural bodybuilder seriously. Spending time with the community is important because most people have never met a professional athlete in person. Most people think to become a pro you need supreme genetic gifts or exceptional natural talent.”

“But the truth is that your success requires struggle. I don’t possess the ultimate genetics or remarkable natural talent. My success has been a result of a dogged discipline, determination, and dedication to my goals.”

“I want to meet the people and tell them my story to inspire them, and to let them know to never give up on their fitness journey.”
