Erik Gilmore, co-owner and co-founder of Great Neck-based Bare Bonez Fitness, is a personal trainer who understands the ropes when it comes to training for a boxing match. “I’ve always liked boxing and if there’s a charity  that can benefit, it’s even better!” Erik said. “I have been perfecting my  footwork and jabs. I’m totally focused on doing my part to make this year’s Fight for Charity a huge fundraising success.

“I love the field of physical fitness. As a personal trainer I want my clients to  achieve their personal best by adopting a healthy lifestyle and by following a  well-designed exercise program.”

Erik is also a father of two boys with another on the way. “I like to do all things  physical with my family. We run Tough Mudder all the time – a test of  strength, stamina, teamwork and mental courage,” he added.
