I hired Eric as my personal trainer in September 2017. I have an athletic background but had not worked out in years so I was very depressed about my weight and personal appearance. I was looking for, not only for a personal trainer, but for a professional that understood what I was going through and could help encourage me and keep me motivated to stick with the sessions to meet my goals. Eric and I began working together 2-3x’s per week and my progression and strength have improved dramatically. I worked through Eric’s beginner program and now I’m on a more specific program that I will get a reward at the end of the training. Since September my appearance has changed drastically. I’ve lost 50 lbs and the weight training has kept me from having a lot of flab from the weight loss. I’m glad I chose Eric to be a part of my fitness team and will continue to work with him on this long-term journey.

Eric is a really great trainer. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and is fun to work out with. He listens to you and customizes workouts for you. Lives a bit out of the way but it’s worth the drive. Highly recommended.

Eric was the first trainer I’ve ever worked with. He has a healthy way of thinking with telling you about diet and exercise. He works at your place but will give you a challenge now and again. He knows his stuff and is very knowledgeable in his field. His personality and enthusiasm makes you push yourself. Just by looking at him you know your getting the real deal. Keep pumping Iron Eric because you was Awesome. See you next year Boss!

I’ve been working with Eric for several weeks. He understands my training goals and developed a program specific to my needs and physical abilities. He’s a good coach, as well as trainer. He makes me work hard and I feel a great sense of accomplishment after our sessions.

I selected Eric as my personal trainer based upon his 5-star reviews on Thumbtack. After my initial session with Eric, I was confident he could help me reach my personal goals- becoming stronger and improving my overall health & diet. Picking a trainer can be scary because you are relying on them in more ways than one. Eric is very responsive to all of my questions, he is always punctual/prepared, and patient while I learn different forms and techniques. The sessions are always different (which I love) and a great mix of movements for a full body workout. I know I am getting stronger and I know I will be a long-term client!

Thank you Thumbtack for helping me find a great personal trainer! Eric is very professional, knowledgeable, and a great motivator. He tuned in to my needs in a very positive way and I can already see… and feel progress!

Eric, come prepared, offers great diversity with our workouts, is full of incredible energy – it’s infectious and inspires me to beat my best each time. I decided to buddy up and share my workouts with a friend. Its working to that the 3 of us continue to champion each other. Love it so much we’ve booked another 8 sessions. Thanks Eric – keep on “bringing it”!!!

Eric is awesome! He’s a great trainer that works within your comfort zone while still pushing you to make progress. He is very knowledgeable about both personal training as well as nutrition. Highly recommended.

Eric is an awesome trainer who focuses on his clients 100% through the workout, ensuring they are taking time to hydrate, catch their breath, and get their heart rate back down between high cardio exercises. I really trust that he will keep me safe and not let me injure myself, and he provides great advice for when I am working out on my own. Also, he checks in with me periodically just to see how I’m doing on my own and it means the world to have that support.

I am a former Certified Nautilus Fitness Trainer from 1980s but have not worked out in 25 years. I can say that Eric knows his stuff. He is refreshing my memory on many keys to successful workout routine. I am very pleased with what he has designed around my goals. He has kept me on track and is teaching me some new techniques with some new tools (kettle bells, TRX, etc). I look forward to my work with Eric and I am reaching my goals.

Eric is fantastic. He is always punctual, professional and responsive to each of our (husband and wife simultaneous workout) injuries and levels of physical stress. We have benefited greatly from his knowledge and experience while enjoying his upbeat personality!

Great response time. Totally understanding and knowledgeable of lower abdomen/pelvic floor issues. His experience has been crucial in helping me gain significantly more core strength (after multiple c sections) without tearing myself to shreds in the process. I feel confident using weights to train with Eric as he keeps form and safety a top priority. I’ve taken classes at the gym before with either no result or injury. I finally feel strong!

I had an extremely positive experience with Eric. I have been training to join the Army and needed to improve my PFT score. I came to Eric with a very specific fitness goal with no idea how to achieve it and he worked with me to plan a strategy and workout plan for my goal. Even though I have only worked with Eric for a short time, I have made significant progress and have greatly improved my muscular endurance and core strength. I would highly recommend Eric for any fitness goals you are trying to achieve!

Eric is the first trainer I have ever worked with but I don’t think I could have picked a better one. He makes you work hard, constantly adapting a sessions workout and helping you break boundaries. Being a Marine I have always always been able to push myself and overcome pain but Eric has helped me take it to a level I didn’t know I could reach. Its been almost 8 weeks now and I wont be quitting any time soon. Very professional and form oriented while still having fun, I would ask anyone to come take on the Eric challenge!

Eric is an excellent trainer who is not only extremely knowledgeable, he is also professional and personable. These characteristics along with his passion for fitness and determination to assure quality workouts over quantity sold me on hiring Eric as my trainer. On top of all this he’s flexible and affordable! Eric, where have you been all my life? : )

I found Eric Greenley through Thumbtack online. He was one of the first trainers to contact me, almost immediately. I gave him a call and set up our fitness evaluation. He was very personable and professional on the phone and I hung up excited for our first session. Unfortunately, my child care fell though and he was very understanding, we rescheduled the following week. My fitness evaluation alone, was very educational (Eric knows his stuff!) I didn’t feel overwhelmed or intimidated, and I knew this guy was going to get me the results I was after. Following our evaluation I met with a couple other trainers to make sure I found the right fit. I chose Eric because he wasn’t cocky, had the credentials I was looking for, and was very easy to talk to. I knew we’d make a great team. He didn’t make me feel like he was a know it all, I was very much looking forward to learning more from him.
We are a couple weeks in and I am already seeing results. I look forward to our sessions two times a week. He pushes me to try new things and I always leave feeling amazing! I am learning so much and gaining the strong, lean muscles that I was looking for. Thank you Eric! I highly recommend his services.

I began working with Eric just a little less than a month ago after a few years off, shall we say. 😉 Found him here on a Thumbtack – which I had never used before! I have had two other trainers in the past. Both were very good but relocated. So I do have a little bit of knowledge and a basis for comparison. Simply put, Eric is fantastic and I hope to be able to work with him for a long time to come. Here are a few things that make him someone you should definitely consider if you are looking for a trainer! Some of his folks have been with him 15+ years and I can see why!

Eric is a great communicator. He was very detailed and fast when I reached out to him on Thumbtack and followed up with me exactly when he said he would. He is always on time and well prepared. I love that he is easy to reach and very responsive.

Scheduling with him is easy and he doesn’t switch times and days like I have seen with my others in the past. He works around me which is awesome. He is the most organized I’ve seen- tracks the sessions with you and asks for you to rate how the session went at the end, every time, so he can design the next one based on your feedback.

When I am working out he is a great teacher and focuses on form, coaching me along and giving me great tips and tricks. He quickly learned what motivates me and provides just the right balance of encouragement and kind words, letting me set the pace sometimes but also pushing me well beyond what I could make myself do on my own.

You know training is hard to get started. It can sometimes be hard to tell someone you just met how you are ashamed of a beer gut LOL, but I immediately felt comfortable with Eric to be honest about what I wanted to work on and what I wanted to change.

What I’ve noticed so far is that he focuses on me as an individual and has designed my workout program to be tailored to my needs. There is good variety from one session to the next, and I feel like I’ve worked out hard when I’m done.

He wants to see me succeed and gives me doable homework for weekends and when I go on business trips to keep me on pace.

He treats me like a real person, not a customer. He is passionate about fitness, high energy, enthusiastic and has a great personality, funny and with great stories and I genuinely look forward to the next work out session.

I don’t write reviews often but I wanted to share my thoughts . Eric is awesome!

I have never worked with a personal trainer before, and my experience with Eric has been more than I could have hoped for – simply wonderful! He is personable, trustworthy, and knowledgable. He tailors workouts to you – your abilities, your preferences, and your goals. Admittedly, I was very nervous to start working with a trainer, but after a telephone call with him and within the first few minutes of meeting Eric, I knew he was the real deal and could help me reach my fitness goals. I have been working with him for a little over a month and am already seeing progress! He has a great setup at his house, and I travel to him. I would definitely recommend Eric to anyone who is looking for a trainer for the first time and is a little apprehensive about taking the plunge.

Eric was extremely knowledgeable and a real pleasure to work with. He was able to improve the quality of my workouts immensely after just one session. I look forward to working with him in the future.

Eric Greenley is the best and most knowledgable personal fitness trainer I have had the opportunity to work with. He has years of experience as a professional fitness trainer and he is fully credentialed including several specialty areas. He listens carefully and he helps me to set realistic short term and long term goals. Eric always stresses safety first and proper technique. He inspires me to be successful and he has a contagious motivating and positive attitude. Eric is a competitive athlete himself and he is the best role model for his clients. I have been extremely impressed with Eric as my personal trainer and I highly recommend him.

I’ve had the pleasure of working along side with Eric as a fitness trainer for over 12 years, and I would highly recommend him. I have seen firsthand his customized program design, his interaction with his clients and the visible results they have achieved. He brings energy and enthusiasm to each and everyone he meets, and really listens to their concerns and their goals. Whether it is a beginner or an athlete training for an event, His knowledge and experience will take it to the next level!

I have received personal training from Eric for many years I cannot recommend him enough. He is incredibly trained and experienced, and always brings a fun and energetic workout. Young or older, male or female, Eric knows exactly how to cater a workout to help meet your goals. I have recommended him to friends, neighbors and families, and I promise you won’t be disappointed!

I have worked with Eric for several years with personal training. He is always motivating, understanding and encouraging for helping me meet my fitness goals. Eric is always punctual and works with my schedule to fit in appointments. He uses a variety of exercises and tenchniques which vary to keep me motivated. I highly recommend Eric for your fitness needs and you will see the results you are seeking!

My husband and I hired Eric to be our personal trainer. We both HATE working out but thought we would give it one more try. Before we even got started Eric went over our health history and insisted I check with my doctor to find out how much resistance training would be safe for me. Eric took his time explaining each equipment and watched us carefully to make sure we were doing it correctly. He was both professional and “fun” to work with. My husband and I would recommend Eric to anyone wanting a great experience with a personal trainer.

I’ve worked with Eric as my trainer since 2008 and it was one of the best decisions I made for my health, both physically and mentally. He always found new ways to keep the workouts intense but enjoyable at the same time. It’s evident that Eric knows what he’s doing by the results he gets… I highly recommend Eric as a trainer in every aspect.
