Elton Santamaría - I can't say enough good things about him. I am so pleased with my personal training with him and with the results that I am achieving, Workouts were appropriately geared to what I was able to do and would get progressively more challenging as our sessions went on. I definitely feel stronger and more fit. Highly recommend him.

Elton has really become like a big brother to me! We’re still training and swimming and he’s absolutely supportive of my fitness goals, he’s very attentive and patient and also encouraging of every small step making me want to work out and do better for myself! Elton’s view of swimming is not just about the physical but the mental too and he’s very intentional about making sure I understand my body’s relationship with water and now with physical training in the gym. He’s super friendly, punctual, easy going, consistent, and funny! I’d recommend him any day because not only would you gain a supportive trainer but a friend! I’m still training and swimming with Elton, since I think May or June 2022 and have no regrets!

Work quality exceeded my expectations. With clear instructions and communication I’m able to see results. Not to mention the proper guidance(what i paid for after all), helped me learn more and mind you i worked with countless of trainers in the past. I recommend

Taught my 3 yr old to swim in a way that is thoughtful, smart and fun so that he doesn’t want to get out of the pool at the end of each lesson now! Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a great teacher for their child.

Elton has been teaching my 4 year old daughter once a week consistently for about 2 years and it's always amazing to watch my daughter's lessons with Elton. She really has learned so much! During their lessons I see my daughter swimming the length of the pool (without needing to hold on to Elton), she is doing flips underwater, she is doing backstrokes the length of the pool, she loves to swim on her own to pick up those sinkable toys at the bottom of the pool and then swim back on her own, recently she is able to swim with her face underwater at least half of the length of the pool (amazing!), and these are just some of the things she's learned. She also knows how to climb the sides of the pool, jump carefully from the sides of the pool, and even dive head first into the water. Not only is she learning how to swim with all the right techniques, she really is having so much fun during her swim class with Elton. She has the biggest laughs and smiles during her swim class, and I truly am so lucky to have Elton as my daughter's swim teacher! (Recently my daughter went to a kids pool party, and a summer camp with swimming class - and at both places the teachers there kept complimenting how great her swimming skills are - proud mom here - thank you Elton!)
