Sophia Porrill

Meet Sophia

Motion Specialist // Certified Personal Trainer // EW Motion Therapy Trussville 

Sophia is passionate about helping her clients reach their fitness goals by providing a cheerful and encouraging environment in which to do so. Becca Lee, director of EW Trussville, said, “Sophia is a great addition to our team. Her passion for providing a top-notch client experience will take her far in her career.” 

When Sophia begins PT school in the fall, she aspires to work in athletics. She is working on her thesis to finish her Master's in Kinesiology with a Concentration in Exercise Physiology - she’s set to graduate from that program in December 2025. She chose personal training because a large part of PT involves exercise prescription and having a complex understanding of movement. Personal training has been a way for Sophia to begin her journey of understanding movement and applying functional movement to her clients’ everyday lives, and the EW community has made doing this a joy. 

Sophia is a Birmingham native, and when she’s not working on her thesis or training clients, she loves all things outdoors, especially scuba diving and running, and she also likes to read. 

Education: Certified Personal Trainer (NSCA, 2024), Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, Exercise Science concentration (UAB, 2024)
