“Eli immediately made me feel at ease by listening carefully to my goals & experience and suggesting a plan that supported both. Eli's patient & knowledgeable approach motivates me because he truly meets me where I'm at, and that makes me want to push myself. As a fat lady over 40, I often feel uneasy in gym spaces, but Eli's supportive style and enthusiasm for my non-diet or weight loss goals help me feel welcome. I now totally look forward to working out, I'm more active outside of our sessions, and I feel excited to take on the long hike I want thanks to our work together!”

“Eli is an attentive, supportive, and incredibly emotionally intelligent trainer. As a trans/non-binary person, I find the fitness world to be pretty inaccessible and unrelatable. I don't enjoy weight-lifting at all, but Eli was super understanding of my aversion to gym workouts and with some gentle encouragement and skillful coaching, he helped me feel comfortable entering the weight room again after half a decade of avoiding it at all costs. My main sport is bouldering, and with Eli's help I'm able to balance out my time on the wall with some really essential warm-ups and supportive workout programs that have made a world of difference in my ability to prioritize fun while minimizing risk of injury and overextending myself. I can guarantee you'll walk away from your session with him feeling better than you could've ever imagined about your new workout routine.”

"I’ve had an amazing experience working with Eli as a personal trainer. He really meets you where you’re at and works with you as a whole person from day one. Most worthwhile trainers have an expert knowledge of exercise form and sequencing which Eli certainly does as well but what really makes him stand out to me is his emotional intelligence and compassion. I was able to feel safe and comfortable working with him early on. Anyone can write up a workout routine but Eli was really able to listen to where I was coming from as someone who has struggled with my relationship to food and exercise all of my life. He really tailored my workouts to the limited time and equipment I have available to me and is really thoughtful in how he checks in during our sessions. Since we started working together I’ve been able to slowly build up my workouts as a consistent part of my life in a sustainable way after always struggling with intense starts and stops in the past. I can’t recommend Eli enough, he has been a great support on my journey of coming home to my body, loving myself and getting strong!"

"Eli has truly been incredible. I used to have such bad anxiety about working out that I would avoid the gym at all costs. After meeting Eli and getting to know his training style and approach, I quickly became more comfortable and confident in my ability to meet my physical health needs. I wanted to feel healthier and more physically stable and Eli helped me accomplish just that. He is empathetic, knowledgeable, and passionate about meeting people where they are at and developing a training plan that fits their life. I can safely say that working with Eli has not only improved my physical wellbeing, but has improved my mental health as well. Thank you, Eli!"

"Eli’s custom programs take the guesswork out of working out. Sessions are fun, engaging, and tailor-made to fit into my busy life. Our regular check-ins empower me to share my experiences and make changes as needed. But what makes Eli a beacon in the fitness industry is that Eli leads with the heart. There’s a depth to my workouts that goes beyond reaching my strength goals. Whether I’m exceeding my expectations in a workout or I’m struggling to make it to the gym, Eli is there to accept me for who I am and meet me where I’m at. Eli’s ability to hold my wants and needs, my successes and failures with compassion makes working with him truly valuable."
