Meet a Dad- Eric (Charlie Puth’s Trainer)

Eric Johnson is a rockstar local dad to three boys, and a celebrity personal trainer. He currently works at a private facility in Westport, and is currently on tour with Charlie Puth as his personal trainer! He regrets not moving back to CT from NYC sooner, and is so glad he is here with his family now, excited for Friday beach nights and time with his boys! Eric believes It is important to exercise in front of your kids so they see you working hard and overcoming challenges, and swears by water with electrolytes! While 4am wake ups can be exhausting, he loves what he does, loves living in this community, and can’t wait for all that’s ahead!

Meet Kristen Glosserman

Meet Kristen Glosserman

Mom to four and newer to Westport, Kristen is a life coach of over 20 years, who achieved her lifelong goal to write her own book – “If It’s Not Right, Go Left” – during the pandemic, which is entirely centered around community, family, and wellness. Kristen has loved the calm of the suburbs, seeing simple things like daffodils on the drive to school each morning, and treasured the family time the COVID years forced upon us all. In another life, Kristen might have pursued a career in politics, always interested in bettering the world (and her community!), loves French fries and sushi, values sleep tremendously, and still treasures her annual trips with her high school friends! As we all strive to balance the many demands of work, self-care, and motherhood, Kristen has helped many stay on track – and find their way. Learn more about this dynamic momma and the many lessons that got her to where she is today.
