I've been training with Elton for about 6 weeks now. During this time I've seen a huge improvement in my strength, cardio and flexibility, and I'm on track for achieving my goals within the timeframe we set at the beginning. Each training session is hard work but so much fun and Elton always checks in on my diet and adjusts the exercises to best suit me. Since starting training with Elton I'm also sleeping better, eating better and feeling healthy and strong. I'm incredibly grateful that I found Elton and strongly recommend him for personal training.

I met Elton over zoom for an assessment and I found him to be courteous and professional. He guided me through different movements while giving clear instructions and made sure I understood and did correctly before moving on. I would recommend Elton and look forward to working with him on my own journey to fitness.

I've been working with Elton for about 4 months. During this time Ive been able to achieve a big health goal with his assistance. Having suffered injuries from a prior accident, under Elton guidance, my flexibility and strength has gradually improved. I've felt better than i have in years.
On top of his professionalism and knowledge; Elton is courteous and goes above and behind. I've had previous experience with trainers with little satisfaction. I've been able to make great progress at the same time gain knowledge and understanding about what it is that we are doing and the importance. For the first time ever i can honestly say i don't mind working out lol. I'm saying that because he will work you. I definitely recommend him.

Elton has been absolutely great to work with. Not only has he been instrumental at getting me into the best shape of my adult life, he has also been training my children in self defense and fitness. Elton does a great job at keeping his programs interesting by continually mixing things up while also challenging me and producing visible gains. I would highly recommend Elton to anyone looking to start or continue on in their fitness journey or looking to learn/grow their self defense techniques.

Elton is very professional and it is obvious that he has a lot of experience. He includes the importance of behavioral changes in his training and provides guidance for this. He made me feel comfortable right away. I have only had one session so far, but I am impressed enough that I am going to continue to work with him for the next few months to try and get my fitness back on track without the use of a gym.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer a variety of discounts, including a two-for-one discount (you can train with a partner at no extra cost) and special monthly rates!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
To keep my ACSM certification, I have to earn a certain number of credits through their seminars and courses.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I had already been an athlete and martial artist for years, and it wasn't until I was allowed to teach someone else's class that I realized how at-home I felt, and that passing on what I know is much more gratifying for me than pursuing personal glory. Also, I had a very difficult military career that left me with a greater appreciation for what I have and what I can offer those around me.
