History
Established in 2016.
Progressive Athletics began as an In-Home personal training with Mark Covington. He saved up enough money to open his first brick and mortar location in Columbia, MD in January of 2018.
In August 2018, Linette walked as a client wanting to lose 70 pounds and grappling with a myriad of injuries. She lost the weight and was so inspired by the experience, she became a certified trainer and a nutrition coach. In 2022, Linette and Mark embarked on a year of research and development, collaborating with chiropractors and physical therapists to create a workout system designed to address the pain and fitness issues of office workers. The result was an innovative workout system that is getting gym members amazing results!
In a remarkable turn of events in July 2023, Linette assumed ownership of the gym that changed my life. She and her team are on a mission to educate, elevate, and help professionals create a life that they love through what they learn at the gym.

How Coach Linette went from struggling client to empowered owner in 5 years!
In August 2018, Linette walked into Progressive Athletics, 70 lbs overweight and grappling with a myriad of injuries. The owner, Mark, helped her redefine my relationship with self care. She not only shed those 70 pounds, but also her self-doubt and limitations.
Two years later, she became a certified trainer and nutrition coach. In 2022, she and Mark embarked on a year of research and development, collaborating with chiropractors and physical therapists to create a workout system designed to address issues that plague modern humans. The result was an innovative anti-aging workout system that is getting amazing results for their clients.
