From Personal Trainer to BoardGains Founder: A Fitness Tale

Hey there! My name is Eric Mathura and I'm the mastermind behind BoardGains. My passion for fitness and wellness started at York University where I earned my B.Sc in Kinesiology. From there, I took the leap into the fitness world as a personal trainer and bootcamp instructor at Habitual Fitness. And if that wasn't enough, I even took my business knowledge to the next level with a Sport and Event Marketing program at George Brown College. After hosting my first successful event, Board Games Bootcamp, I was convinced that the combination of fitness and fun was a winning formula. Fast forward to the pandemic and the closure of gyms, which gave me the opportunity to fully focus on and bring BoardGains to life. And let me tell you, the feedback from play testers has been nothing short of amazing! It just solidified my belief that fitness can be enjoyable for everyone. So, I poured all my energy and dedication into making BoardGains a reality for all of you!
