I’m still fairly new to Elton, but he has been really great so far! He is focused, kind, professional, encouraging, efficient, and effective… and so much more than just a physical trainer. He works in psychological lessons that can help with physical health goals but can also be applied to other aspects of life. I highly recommend him.

Elton is a great trainer! Incredibly patient, knowledgeable and thorough. He provides a holistic approach to training and tries to connect what you do in the gym with what you do outside the gym. His aim is to improve your overall health and well-being while also giving you a great workout. He also has an interesting story and background, which makes him relatable as a trainer.

Just finished my first training session with Elton. He is knowledgable, respectful and well spoken. He tailored our workout so that it was possible to keep motivated and challenged but it wasn't beyond my fitness level. He made sure I was using the correct form and technique with each movement, so as to maximize calorie burning while remaining safe. Elton is extremely professional and even shared his profound knowledge in thoughtful breathing / breathing exercises. I know I will be returning for more training sessions with Elton and can't wait to see the results in a few months!! I highly recommend him.

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.

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.
