I started out @ Elite Personal Training as an in-person training. After 9 months, I moved to Virginia and began a virtual training program. I thought virtual would not be as good as in-person but I have to say that Jon, my trainer, works me just as hard as if I was in the Elite gym..I lost weight, trimmed down my waist. But most importantly my doctor took me off a blood pressure medicine as my blood pressure was down. She also took me off my low dose cholesterol medicine. I am 72 years old and exercising hard 3x a week with Jon...I lift heavy weights, use heavy bands and an able to do a 5minute plank..I never thought I would be this strong and this fit at 72. Elite Personal training evaluates me every 8 weeks by measuring my major muscle groups, weighing me and giving me a flexibility and strength test. This shows me how much I am improving and is a great motivator. Elite Personal Training is keeping me young!!

We all know how to eat, more importantly, we all know how not to eat. But why? Amy gave me insight into how nutrition works, what my body needs, and how to think about foods. With a review of my normal diet as a guide, she explained the pros and cons of it along with what I should consider changing. With a warm smile, she did this with no judgement – there are neither saintly foods nor evil ones.

With understanding from nutrition sessions with Amy, I can see how foods impact my health. This gives me the opportunity to choose with knowledge.

I started working out again in my early 30’s. I was always athletic and played a lot of sports growing up. After college and working full time, working out and physical activity decreased exponentially. Working out with Joel and Elite really helped me get back into working out. With a heavy workload, a new house, and a new baby at home, working out seemed like an afterthought. Elite was able to set me up with a home workout that is done virtually and gave me a little kit with some gear. I have been working out a couple days a week for about 5 months now and have noticed that I feel a lot better, have more energy, better posture, etc. I can honestly say I was not expecting any real quality or results from working out at home but I’ve never been happier to be proven wrong.
As I have been working out more, I am starting to build up a little home gym for myself and am able to bounce ideas off Joel to see what’s the next piece of equipment I should get and how I can be the most efficient with buying new workout equipment.
Another great aspect of the Elite program is that we take measurements and conduct evaluations routinely so you can really see the progress that is made both in amount of reps or weight as well as the physical changes that happen to your body overtime.

I have always been active, and for the most part worked out regularly. Covid threw a monkey wrench into my early morning gym routine, so I bought a Peloton Bike. My historic focus has always been on cardio, figuring that if I was sweating that had to be a good thing. The bike is great for that, but being in my 60's I knew that I needed more. In the past, when I would incorporate weight training into my routine I always ended up hurting myself at some point since I was not doing things quite right.

I started working out at Elite going on five months ago and it has been a great experience. Now when we're doing strength training I know that I'm being instructed on the correct way to do the exercise. Plus, I don't have to plan out anything. I just show up and do what they tell me to do. I've been introduced to core and balance exercises that I never knew existed. Just when you've gotten the hang of one exercise the trainer introduces a "progression" that adds more difficulty to the move, sop you are always moving upward. The upfront evaluation and ongoing testing provides both a "base line" of your fitness and feedback on your progress. The Trainers are all knowledgeable and friendly as well.

Lastly, when you're working out on your own it's easy to skip a day, but knowing that you have someone that is counting on you to show up is extra motivation each and every time.

My attitude is that there are 24 hours in each day, so why not take a single hour 2-3 days a week and do something good for yourself, and there is no better place to do that than at Elite.
