Brian Skouras
Certified Personal Trainer
Brian’s passion for endurance sports began at 19, when he joined a semiprofessional cycling team in Italy — an experience that sparked his lifelong commitment to pushing limits and personal growth. After returning to the U.S., he competed in mountain biking and earned sponsorships from brands like Motorola and Bud Light. Since joining Pro Balanced Fitness & Nutrition in 2024, Brian has helped dozens of clients in Kennesaw and surrounding areas reach their fitness goals through customized, results-driven coaching. In 2025, he released his first book, One Life, sharing the lessons and habits that have shaped his journey. Endurance sports have taught him the importance of discipline, resilience, and consistency — values he brings to every training session. Whether coaching competitive athletes or beginners, Brian’s mission is to help each client discover their strength and achieve more than they thought possible.
"I really believe that with the right mindset and approach, anyone can find their stride and do amazing things. So, let's team up and push ourselves to new heights together!"
