I've gone through a lot of trainers and coaches, but Eric has been the best by far. He takes the time to understand my goals, history, etc. and then makes a plan for ME. I'm stronger and more athletic in my 30s than I was in my 20s.

I’ve known Coach Eric for a long time and recently started working with him to help me get back into the gym, get mobile, and get healthy in the middle-aged sense of the word.
He’s been super attentive with the programming, took note of my areas of concern, and built out training that works for me and helps me move toward my goals.
I also really appreciated his efforts to train my holistically, asking about mindfulness work, checking in on my dietary habits, etc.
It’s been a great process for me.

I’ve been working out at Force for 2 months and it’s been an awesome experience. I started working out with Eric during his time at Aspire and decided to discontinue once he left. Relieved that he’s opened his own place! He’s attentive to his clients and understands how to build sustainable workout habits.

I have had the pleasure to work with Eric as both a college athlete and a new parent with a busy schedule and Eric is far and away the best trainer I have ever worked with! He is so extremely detailed in his exercise plans that they are always personalized to help reach your goals. Eric is so engaging and encouraging that even when you’re training hard, it doesn’t feel that way because you’re having fun while training - I never left a training session with Eric where we didn’t share a laugh! In both of my training experiences with Eric, my body has never felt better and I don’t think that is a coincidence.

Working with Eric this summer was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my athletic development. As a D1 athlete, I’ve worked with a lot of coaches and trainers, but this experience stood out. He brought a perfect balance of intensity, knowledge, and genuine care to every session.

The best gym in the area. After two summers working out here I have never felt more prepared for the season. The workouts are tough but always fun, and they know exactly how to push you without overdoing it. Eric is top notch — super knowledgeable and always helping you improve. Everyone in the gym pushes each other and it makes you want to get better every day. If you’re serious about getting stronger, this is the place to be.

Eric is the man. Been coming to Force for two years now and it has become a highlight of my week. Eric has helped me recover from a knee injury and return to play college athletics. I would recommend Force and Eric to athletes of all ages!

Training with Eric at this gym has been an amazing experience! He’s really helped me get stronger, faster, and more prepared for college sports, while keeping every workout challenging and goal-focused. What I appreciate most is that he makes the environment fun and positive, so it never feels like a chore to come in and put in the work. Thanks to Eric, I feel confident about taking the next step in my athletic career and I actually look forward to training every week.

I have been working out with Eric since 2021 and love force performance. He has given me guidance throughout the years which helped me greatly on my path through high school and college baseball. His lifts and advice provide a really good place to work out, and there is an amazing culture inside Force. Amazing place to go for people with a wide variety of goals!

Eric is the best! I’ve always been intimidated by gyms and struggled to incorporate strength training into my routine. I reached out to Eric to help me get ready for my next half marathon with focus on injury prevention. Just a few weeks in and I’m already feeling stronger than ever! Appreciate you Eric for meeting me where I was at and helping this 30 something look & feel my best.

Been working out with Eric for 4 years and at Force since its inception. From an athlete, you will not find a more personable and enthusiastic personal trainer in the business. Whether you come in 5 days or only once a week, Eric will always adapt sessions to your specific needs. 10/10 gym for anybody looking to improve their strength, athleticism, fitness, and overall health.

Training at Force Performance and Fitness these past couple months has been awesome. Eric’s been getting me ready for the upcoming hockey season, and I’ve already seen a big difference physically. Everyone in the gym pushes each other and it’s an overall great environment to train in.

Eric is the best in the business. There is no way that I would have gotten to play college athletics without his training program. On top of his elite fitness knowledge, he is a loving father. He understands work life balance, and will help you add fitness into your busy schedule. Force Performance and Fitness is the place to be!

Eric helped me make the jump from being a backup goalie to a starter and all-American, after just 1 summer of training together.
My only regret is that I didn't start training with him sooner!

I worked with Eric from 8th grade through all of college. Training with Eric was one of the key factors that prepared me for every level of my sport. At each step up, I always felt ready because of Eric’s training. Working with him consistently made me one of the strongest, fastest, quickest, and most well-trained athletes on the field.
Eric is always willing to meet you where you are and find the best ways to help you reach your athletic potential. Most importantly, he ensures that training is both fun and purposeful, making every session an absolute blast.

Force Performance and Fitness is Shrewsbury is easily the best gym for working parents who want to get back in shape without getting physically destroyed by high impact workouts.
I joined one of Coach Eric’s small group training with the goals of losing fat, getting strong, and increasing energy. It has been a game-changer for me.
Im a dad in my 40’s, and I needed a smart and safe approach. Force Performance and Fitness delivered 100 times over. Coach Eric is an exceptionally skilled professional who knew how to push me hard without unnecessary strain or wasted energy. He is friendly and engaged, and I felt that he was invested in my success from the day I signed up.
His patience and concern for clients is always on display, and he’s fantastic at explaining concepts and technique. He always helped me understand why we were working on something specific, and was great at answering questions I had.
If you live around Shrewsbury, Red Bank, or Little Silver, you’d do yourself a great service by checking out Force. I’m seeing great results, and though they came with hard work, I’m having an awesome time working out there.
Thanks Coach Eric! Can’t get to get back in there!

My son Joseph has been training with Eric now for 9 months and the results are amazing. He has gained over 25 lbs of muscle and his fast ball has increased velocity significantly. Highly recommended. Eric is dedicated to his clients results and more importantly just a really good person.

Eric has been my son’s trainer for approximately 10 months now- my young teen HS aged -multi sport athlete was in need of a trainer with good knowledge base of ways to teach and properly manage his work outs according to age- maturity- and sport season. Eric has tailored his workouts- is always flexible with times for sessions - and most importantly has created a positive healthy approach to fitness and weight training. My son will continue to work out in this safe, clean and supportive environment for many years to come!

While other reviewers will point to their great workout routines and results with Eric, I am a has-been. What I genuinely appreciate about Eric and Force is the postive environment, the lack of judgement about where one is in their fitness journey, and the comraderie of the folks who make it their home. For me, it's therapy for mind and body...

My son (16) has been going to Eric for 4 years now and we couldn’t be happier with the results. He has seen major gains in strength, speed and agility and Eric makes sure the workouts are performed safely. Highly recommend!

I’ve been with Eric for almost 4 years now, coming over with him to Force Performance from another gym. From a personal standpoint, Eric sets workouts which neatly fit my own goals and areas of improvement. I look forward to going to the gym for my sessions, as he cultivates an environment where you can get better each time, and have fun doing it.
As a coach, I can also see first-hand the improvements athletes make with his training: in strength gains, in flexibility and range of motion, and in explosion and agility. I have had the benefit of coaching some of his members, and feedback from them is overwhelmingly positive. Having a trainer who played college sports and can understand the rigors, the expectations, and the process is a boon for any high school and college-aged athlete.
Could not recommend this gym enough for people looking to improve and build a healthy lifestyle; and most especially for aspiring college athletes.

I’ve been working with Eric for years now and no one has gotten me into shape like he has. He’s very concise and intelligent when it comes to creating a workout routine tailored around your goals. Can’t wait to get back to it come winter time!!!

Eric has been a pivotal force in my daughter’s sports success, but most of all the confidence and knowledge he has instilled in her through his coaching and training methods is unparalleled!
If you are serious about helping your son or daughter achieve a high-level of success, then you owe it to your kids to give them the best opportunity by training with Eric 🏆🏆🏆
