What folks are saying about oakcitystrong
Individualized, focused attention
Through careful planning and individualized, focused attention, Eli has helped rebuild a better, stronger, faster me. After decades of swimming, biking, and running, Eli’s individualized strength training plans have kept me in top shape well into my 50’s. His detailed help and guidance — and knowledge of how to efficiently gain strength without sacrificing mobility — keep me outrunning Father Time year after year. Every time a friend complains about a bad back or sore knee, I’m thankful that’s not me. And thankful that working with Eli keeps me feeling supercharged. I may not be the Bionic Man, but maybe it’s more important that I feel like I am….

Knowledgeable, safe, fun environment
I’ve been working out with Eli for about four years now. Not only am I stronger than I ever thought but possible but after four years, it’s still fun. He’s super knowledgeable about compound lifts and always manages to help me understand cues in a way that works for my body. I highly recommend Eli to anyone who is interested in trying out lifting in a safe but fun environment.

Accountable fitness programming
I’ve been training with Eli for close to 2 years now. Eli and I have transformed the way I feel about myself, my fitness and my “healthspan” – meaning I don’t want to simply grow older, I want to grow more healthy as I grow older. I also want to focus on the proper way to lift, and not risk injury as my weights increase. During our time training together, Eli has worked up and adjusted my nutrition and strength workouts multiple times as my needs have evolved and changed. I have grown stronger every week without having to think about my fitness programming. Eli focuses on accountability – mental and physical – and helps clients like me add in flexibility and accessory modalities in addition to heavy lifting. The women who lift with me during Eli’s sessions have become some of my best friends, and we absolutely enjoy – and protect in our busy schedules – our gym time together. Eli makes workouts tough, focused, and really fun. I highly recommend Eli and believe in him and his program 110%. I promise you will look back and wonder why you didn’t join his program and his team a lot sooner!
