About Eric
I have a great deal of experience with clients of all ages and abilities including older populations and clients with mobility issues. It doesn't matter what level you are at, it's all about getting you motivated and getting an invigorating and fun workout.
The vision for my first Fit2Box fitness studio was to create a comfortable, friendly and stress-free environment in which to train people of all fitness levels so they could accomplish their fitness goals and/or relieve stress with a fun and invigorating workout.
My specialty is mixing in stretching, mobility work, traditional strength training (and adding in some boxing / kickboxing techniques and padwork only if clients would like to try it ). I've actually had clients with Parkinson's and other disabilities who loved a little light padwork Finally, I have also done chair exercises with clients with balance and mobility issues. That's an option with in person or virtual training
I have been an Ace Certified Personal Trainer for almost 20 years and have successfully trained many clients of all ages and fitness levels (including post-rehab and clients with disabilities).
My favorite client story
A client once told me that she would regularly go for massage therapy. And, after about 4 -6 months training with me,
she told me that her message therapist told her "I don't know if you feel it, but your body has REALLY changed. "
She continued to say, "I hate to tell you this but when you started with me it was like massaging a marshmallow."
I felt a great deal of gratitude that she shared this story with me and was very happy to hear this. The results definitely showed up in the first follow up body composition test but most clients are not able to hear such a profound (and somewhat comical and lighthearted ) statement on how much their body has changed from their workouts.
My favorite exercise
Boxing / Kickboxing Padwork.
My clients prefer this much more than cardio. It also adds to core strength and balance.
Plus, it is a real stress reliever!
My training philosophy
I just want to see every client get a good workout, leave uninjured and with a smile.
If they leave happy, healthy and content with their workout, it makes it extremely likely
they will look forward to their next session.
My training experience
I've been personal training since 1993 and been an ACE Certified Personal Trainer since 2004.
Plus, I have almost 30 years of boxing and kickboxing experience.
I have also personally worked with Physical Therapists throughout my life giving me a great deal of expertise in
post-rehab training and in-depth knowledge about preventing and recognizing injuries and imbalances.

I've been a personal training client since Eric opened his gym in Hollywood, FL. I enjoy the workout because a one-hour session flies by and I love the results. I've lost body fat and inches while becoming stronger. Eric always mixes up the workout with weight training, boxing and kickboxing. I'd recommend Eric to anyone who gets bored easily and doesn't like the monotony of choreographed group classes.
I've been coming to Eric for over a year and a half now. What brought me to Eric was my desire for a more personalized training program with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. I have definitely found that to be the case while working out with Eric. (I actually look forward going to workout). Also, I achieved my fitness goals of relieving stress, toning muscles, and gaining more flexibility, all within a short period of time. I would recommend Eric to a friend because I have seen such positive results and I know they would be as satisfied as I am.
I've been coming to Eric since his gym opened in Hollywood, FL. The personalized fitness training tailored to each individual's need is what attracted me to the training. The professionalism and motivation from Eric is what keeps me coming back. Physical training takes discipline and dedication. Eric helps you achieve your goals with its personalized one-on-one training in their clean and comfortable environment.
Training with Eric is the single best thing I've ever done for my health and fitness. It's been a great way to finally get back in the best shape of my life and stay that way. I've found the private boxing and weight training sessions to be fun and effective. Eric not only knows fitness, he knows people. He's a great teacher and motivator. I can't imagine not having this workout in my life.
We are seasonal residents and we've been coming to Eric for 2 years now. We enjoy Eric’s training because we get to spend time together while working out and having fun. We love the personalized training program and it has helped us both get fit, get stronger, and lose inches. It's amazing for your golf swing as well because of the increase in core strength. Plus, we both have more stamina at work. Before this we didn't like working out but with Eric's workout we now spend 2 hrs a week getting away from our usual stressful routine. We'd recommend Eric to anyone because it's fun and a great way to get in shape. Plus, it's a private studio and there's no reason to feel self-conscious.
I have been coming to Eric for almost 4 months. It's not crowded, it's a nice private studio and you get one-on one attention. I really like the boxing/kickboxing part because I think it adds to the workout and really produces results. In a short period of time, I have seen how tone my arms and legs have become and my friends have also noticed. I would recommend Eric to anyone because there are no crowds, no distractions, you reduce stress and get great results.
I have been coming to Eric for almost 4 months. I like the fact that it's a one-on-one atmosphere. I like the way I am picking up boxing skills and getting in great shape at the same time. I initially walked into the studio inquiring about learning to box. I liked the fact that Eric had plenty of boxing experience and he was open to working with beginners like me who just wanted to pick up boxing skills but not necessarily box as a career. I feel like Eric has been very attentive to my individual goals. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to box, get a very good workout and work with a very motivating trainer.
I have been coming to Eric’s studio on and off (mostly on) for almost 6 months. I can't believe at 84 yrs. old I am walking 35 minutes and doing light weight exercises without huffing and puffing thanks to Eric. I would recommend Eric because he knows what he's doing.
Working out with Eric is the best fitness decision I have ever made. I started working out with Eric just over a year ago. During that time I have dropped 3 dress sizes and 30 pounds. More importantly, Eric has made working out fun again. The combination of boxing, weight training and floor core work makes the hour go by quickly. I have never been overworked to the point of being too sore to work the next day. Eric gages your workout to meet your needs and ability with quality results. His workout protocol has really strengthened my core. As a Chiropractor, I appreciate the importance of this in preventing low back pain and have personally felt an improvement in my back health. Another major benefit I have noticed is the stress relief that comes with the workout. I never thought that it would feel so good to hit something! At first I was intimidated by the idea of boxing, but that quickly disappeared during my first session. Eric is a great teacher and is the most knowledgeable trainer I have worked with. He takes a sincere interest in his clients’ health and fitness. I constantly recommend Eric to my patients, friends and family. It’s fun, motivating and effective.
I've been a personal training client with Eric for almost a year now. I enjoy working out with Eric because it brings the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of working out together. Plus, the workout is great and you sweat the week's stress away. Since starting with Eric, I feel much more energetic and healthy. I'd recommend Eric to anyone who is looking for a workout that you can actually look forward to.
I’ve worked with Eric in person and online (virtually) and have found him to be a highly knowledgeable and reliable trainer. What’s nice is that I actually look forward to my next workout. I highly recommend Eric!
