Donnie Carbaugh was a personal trainer at a local gym when the pandemic hit and the lockdown started. It was only supposed to be for 2 weeks, so he and his wife decided to do live workouts via Facebook for anyone to watch. What was supposed to be two weeks turned into months of live workouts on their front porch. One of the regular followers coined the term “front porch fitness” and it stuck. When the warmer months came, more and more folks joined the duo for free workouts in the park.

In December of 2020, Donnie and Miriam Carbaugh officially launched Front Porch Fitness from their 2-car garage. In March of 2021, Donnie was able to go full time as a personal trainer and by June of 2022, he knew they needed a bigger space. As of January of 2023, they have opened their largest location yet!
