STRONG FOR REAL LIFE.
CONDITIONED FOR REAL ADVENTURE.

I reached out to Ethan 6 months ago on a whim having found him through a google search for a local personal trainer. It was midnight when I sent my inquiry, and I received a response before I woke up the next morning. We met for an introductory call a few days later to understand my background and goals and I was at my first trial workout that same week. Ethan met me where I was, having zero experience of ever being in the gym or having done any strength training. I also work a demanding job with sporadic hours and an irregular travel schedule. Ethan works with my schedule to fit me in before my days start or even weekends to accommodate. We rotate 3 different workouts and Ethan continues to check in on each exercise and adds new components to ensure it remains challenging. At a recent check in - we saw that I’ve nearly doubled the weights since I’ve started 6 months ago. I notice myself feeling strong, seeing changes in my body, and being able to fit back into clothes that I struggled to squeeze in months prior. I’ve started to feel confident to be able to do these workouts alone and supplement it with the personal training sessions, but plan to continue to use Ethan’s services for the convenience and hold me accountable as I build routine. Highly recommend anyone looking to make a change or get into the habit of working out to reach out to Ethan. He’s great at what he does and is 100% the man!

Ethan is awesome, I love training with him. He is thoughtful, interactive, pushes you and helps you exceed what you thought were your limits. All the while in a good natured, inclusive way. Cannot go wrong with him.

I have had an incredible experience training with Ethan. He creates a custom strength and training plan for every client and his deep knowledge base allows it to shift to your needs on a daily basis. Over the six months we have trained together, I have not only experienced incredible progress towards my goals of increased strength and fat loss, but I have learned a tremendous amount about kinesiology. He takes tremendous care to not only help with proper form, but also to help you understand the purpose each exercise serves in reaching your goals. I cannot recommend working with Ethan enough!

Ethan Graves is an excellent trainer. I found him to help with strength training. Specifically, I was a newbie to compound lifting and really lifting heavy generally. I wanted to learn how to lift safely and better understand what a total body workout schedule should be/could be. My time with him has greatly exceeded expectations. We lift 1-2 times per week together and then I will have 1-2 lifts to do on my own per week. I can say at age 37, after ~6 months with Ethan, I am the strongest I have ever been in my life. Beyond the programming, Ethan just slays. He's funny, curious about the world, and cares about his clients. He will keep you laughing and rocking out all session long. Also, critically, he's timely and accessible - important traits in this crazy world that moves a mile a minute. Nothing but respect for Ethan! Highly recommend - 11/10.

Ethan is a phenomenal trainer to work with. His knowledge and attention to detail are unmatched. He took the time to understand my goals and where I wanted to be, put together a plan of action and is extremely motivating. I highly recommend working with Ethan to achieve all of your fitness goals!

I went to Ethan with specific goals to gain muscle and become stronger, and he built a customized plan to get me there. I’ve been training with Ethan for almost a year now and he’s continuously updated my workout plan to fit my goals. I’ve never been as strong or had as much muscle as I have now and I owe that to Ethan! I look forward to training with him for many more years to come

Ethan is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable and will absolutely help you reach your fitness goals. He will work with you specifically to find out where you want to be and will help you to improve your life both physically and mentally.
