I've been seeing Eric since he was training out of Gold's Gym. I was preparing to get a defibrillator installed and needed to not only lose weight but also make some lifestyle changes. Eric paved a road which helped me achieve the goals we set while keeping me accountable. He's personable and a master of his craft. 20 years later he is still my trainer, but also a close friend. I can honestly say that I would not be here if it wasn't for Eric.

I started working with Eric after realizing I needed to make some major life changes. I had no idea what I was doing and Eric totally met me where I was. He helped me set goals, (even when I didn’t really know enough to have a clear idea of what my goals were!) and gave me the tools and support I needed to meet and even surpass them. Just over a year in, I’m down over 90lbs and I’m stronger and faster than I’ve ever been. More importantly, Eric has helped me learn a lot about myself and has helped instill sustainable diet, exercise, and lifestyle adjustments that I’ll continue to use to reach future goals. I can’t recommend Eric enough, couldn’t have be where I am today without his expert guidance and support!

2 years ago i noticed that the ageing process was suddenly catching up with me. i hadn't done much during or after covid and my knees were really starting to bother me. my brother recommended i see Eric to get started on improving my fitness levels. Eric understood where I was at and has slowly but surely brought about strength and stability to my joints to the point where I can dance hula now without knee pain! every training session is also fun, entertaining and full of stories all the while he challenges me to improve. very grateful for each session with him, mahalo!

I have never been a person who thought that I would ever have a “personal trainer”. Although always relatively active, as the years went by I found that it was becoming a bit more sluggish. Unexpected health issues started to arise as I got older. Things such as moderate weight gain, higher cholesterol, elevated blood pressure, hereditary heart concerns, and a broken ankle injury were some focal points that made routine exercise “difficult”. Eric was open and honest with addressing my specific concerns. He created an action plan that would pinpoint problem areas and also a routine that was not just easy to follow, but focused and manageable as well. The tailored workouts were indeed challenging, yet uplifting. Professional, yet personal. Frequent, yet fun. The maintenance didn’t stop once I left the gym either. Eric would check in on me throughout the week advising me on my diet, cardio fitness, and getting adequate sleep nightly (and even advised me when it was okay to have cheat meals too!). Through his guidance and expertise, I was able to regulate all of my health concerns, I lost 22 lbs of extra body weight, gained muscle and flexibility, and I received frequent compliments from friends and family who saw a physical transformation that were unaware of my weekly workout regimen. Health should never take a backseat in our daily lives. Often we wait until we get a concerning diagnosis before we act on things and then try to make a change. Getting healthier and maintaining wellness should not be a struggle, it should be a priority. My only regret is not starting with Eric sooner. If you are willing to make a lifestyle change, Eric will be able to get you exactly where you want to be. Whether it’s for a professional fitness competition, rehabilitating an injury, or just for general health and wellbeing . . . Eric will set a realistic target goal and it will be a commitment on your part to achieve excellence . . . and I can assure you, that under his guidance, you won’t just achieve your goal . . . you’ll most likely . . . EXCEED IT!
