Testimonials

 

"EFI has been very instrumental in my growth as a skater, and as an overall athlete.  The trainers are awesome, and they are always willing to answer any questions I have.  They learned as much as they could about my sport by coming to my practices and competitions.  They give me the individual training that is specific to my sport, and will help me in the places where I need it the most.  I would definitely recommend Elite Fitness Institute to anyone and everyone."

"Elite fitness has changed my career, i got stronger, faster and have more endurance. I believe that Elite Fitness deserves much credit in making me a better basketball player and getting me a better job in a more competetive league! Every time I get the chance to spend some time with Jeff i feel like i stepped my performance on the court up. I make a point to spend most of my off-season in Chicago to be able to improve my game!"

At the age of 53 I found myself 60 pounds overweight and nearly 20 years removed from any serious exercise program.  As a result my blood pressure was rising and minor muscle and joint strains from normal activity were becoming the norm.  My experience with Jeff Schultz and the other trainers at Elite Fitness over the last 18 months has significantly improved my conditioning and quality of life.

Every time I started an exercise program a strain would put it on hold.  Elite was recommended to me by a friend who is a physician and it turned out to be a perfect fit for my needs.  With a degree in sports medicine and a physical therapy background Jeff Schultz was able to understand how to transition from no exercise into a program which is now 3 times per week.  What I like most is Elite will tailor a workout to the individual’s needs vs. having standard workout like most places.  In my case Jeff spent over a month up front easing me into progressively more difficult activity, all the while monitoring my performance and response.  The workouts are a combination of cardio, agility and weight training and vary with each workout.  Since each trainer keeps notes on every workout, I can get continuity from any one of several trainers or can choose to always work out with the same person if I prefer.

The results have been great.  I have gained strength and flexibility plus no longer experience the aggravating injuries.  I lost some weight and several inches on my waist as muscle has replaced fat.  Even more important, without any medication my blood pressure has dropped 20 points to 120/78.  I continue to step up the level of workouts.

Individual training is never cheap, but I cannot think of anything more important to my future than my health so it is worth it.  In fact my entire family has or is training at Elite Fitness on varying degrees of frequency.  I fully recommend their program and am willing to discuss it with you personally if you desire.

Jeff runs a first rate program in creating accurate goal setting for each individuals training and injury prevention.  I am impressed with his knowledge and ability to evaluate each athlete's strengths and weaknesses in order to create a complete individualized training program.  His positive approach instills a good balance of hard work and fun in developing a healthy and strong body.
