My Story

Eric Simpson is more than an athletic trainer. He is a competent and caring guide who takes great passion in helping you meet your fitness goals.  I have not lifted free weights in 20 years (since high school).  Eric gave me the confidence I needed to step up my strength training and did it in a way that ensured my body stayed physiologically sound.  He always focused on technique and empowered me to gain the musculoskeletal balance I had been seeking for years. As a physician, I greatly appreciate Eric’s evidence-based training approaches.  First time I have ever had a strength coach quote Pubmed articles to me.  I highly recommend anyone go see Eric for strength, stabilization, optimal performance or bouncing back from an injury.  He has my 100% endorsement.

Careful, pushy and kind – everything you want in a personal trainer!

Also, the man who I hate to love!  Eric is an amazing coach and trainer.  Every session we discuss what we’re going to do – and its always educational and different – and why.  He builds on his experience and knowledge of me – both in terms of physical capabilities and goals – and really makes it challenging and enjoyable.  Me?  I’m 58, relatively healthy for a woman my age BUT predictably too low in muscle mass and bone loss is a reality I must face NOW to make a difference.  My goals were to be physically stronger, more agile and challenge the weight.  Eric tailors everything to my goals ++ He never lets me “cheat myself” as he says and at the risk of sounding overly girly, it makes my day when he tells me “he’s proud of me and I worked hard today,” nothing he says lightly.  I leave every session with his overall check, (“any injuries?  How do you feel?”) and a plan for the hours later when I may feel sore (as IF that’s even in question!) and when I’ll see him next.  Not pushy, excessive or “speech-giving” in style but a health conscious, ex-cop family man that frankly, is a great fit for me.  He has a plan, listens and stays fully engaged every time!

I have really enjoyed training with Eric! He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and encouraging while always keeping safety top of mind. Eric programs each workout to keep things interesting and challenging! I can always count on leaving our sessions feeling as if I have worked very hard and learned something new.
