The Pillars

STRENGTH

CONDITIONING

MOBILITY

NUTRITION

Every fitness goal can be achieved through some combination of strength training, conditioning, mobility training, and nutrition. These are what I call the Four Pillars of Fitness. Your training program must provide stimuli that cause your desired adaptations, and your nutrition program must fuel both the adaptations and the training itself. Both programs then need to be specified to the individual performing them, suiting not only their goals but their experience, fitness level, and overall lifestyle.

My philosophy boils down to finding the “sweet spot” of programming across these Four Pillars and the programming variables relevant to them. Adjusting things such as exercise choice, training frequency, sets, reps, weight, rest, macronutrients, supplementation, and more all have an affect on the results of your program and your ability to execute it consistently. Finding the right variables for where you are, right now, and progressing them intelligently over time is the most sure-fire way to achieve your goals and go beyond them.

All my services rely on this understanding. You need a program that’s right for you, whether I coach you through it, personalize it for you, or you write it yourself after our consultation.

Having a goal without a plan is like having a destination without a route to get there.

TESTIMONIALS

  • Frank N., M.D. (client)

    As a doctor, I am thoroughly impressed with Eric’s knowledge of anatomy and physiology. He uses science to teach proper form and tailor his programming to my circumstances. He’s the complete package and I couldn’t recommend him more.

  • Sean K. (client)

    He helped me overcome a shoulder injury by teaching me about the structure and movement of the joint. Now I’m moving heavier weights than ever across the board, pain-free, while gaining muscle and losing fat.

  • Josh A. (client)

    I’ve been working with Eric for almost 3 years now and the transformation in my physique, health, and performance has far exceeded my initial expectations. I’ve learned enough by now that we collaborate on programming for my goals and I plan on working with him for many years to come.

  • Ethan S. (client)

    Training with Eric has been expensive. I had to get a whole new wardrobe after gaining 35lbs of muscle! Well worth the compliments at my wedding and the occasional old friend being unable to recognize me.

  • Sabaa S. (client)

    Aside from the fact I lost weight and feel stronger, training with Eric has become a twice-a-week escape I genuinely look forward to.

  • Aidan A. (programming client)

    I couldn’t afford training but was lucky enough to workout with Eric a few times at his old gym. He gave me tips for each muscle group that I still use today. I recently bought a program from him and have seen more success in my bodybuilding journey the past 6 weeks than in the past 6 months. When I finally do a show I’m coming to him.

  • JP L. (personal trainer, colleague)

    Eric has always been hyper ethical and curious when it comes to coaching. He knows a lot, admits what he doesn’t, and then obsesses about learning it for next time.

  • Taylor H. (client)

    I’ve always been bad at working out, but Eric has made me effective. I now move, look, and feel better. I leave the gym proud of the workout I just had. My job has become functionally easier, and multiple friends have commented on my improved movement and weight loss. Eric knows my limits better than I do, and I trust him to keep the progress coming.

  • Mijana D. (client)

    Eric’s been instrumental in getting me stronger and leaner, but also takes into account safety and my previous injuries. He’s brought me out of my comfort zone with new exercises I thought I’d never even try. As a busy professional, I also appreciate how Eric holds me accountable to my program while being flexible with my schedule, making sure what he writes for me suits my life as well as my goals.

  • Kevin P. (strength coach/colleague)

    I had the pleasure of working with Eric for 3 years. He has a wealth of knowledge in biomechanics and bodybuilding that I and other trainers would often consult him about. Beyond this, he is able to convey this knowledge where a single cue or analogy for a movement could change my whole experience while performing it. I wouldn’t hesitate to send any of my own clients his way.
