This is a great place to train. I am in my 50s and hadn’t lifted weights since high school! Training with Mercedes helped me lose weight and — much more importantly — feel strong and good in my body again. Plus it’s a great community where everyone encourages and supports each others.

I cannot say enough great things about Mercedes! She helped me get my body back postpartum and feel stronger, mentally and physically after navigating being a new mom. She fosters a sense of community at her studio, and she goes above and beyond to try and make things work for you if possible. If you want results, you have to put in the work— there is no babying, but Merced’s is the person that will push you to get there. She is worth every penny and sore muscle

Having mercedes as a trainer was the best decision I made. She is truly amazing and professional at what she does. She makes sure you are training the proper way. You will love the environment and energy in this place. I LOVE how passionate she is with her clients. I will definitely choose her again and again. Highly recommended.

I really enjoy my time at Elite Physique. Mercedes is a wonderful trainer, and she has shown proven results with all the people she trains. I originally started with her boot camp classes, a few years back and was able to meet all my fitness goals at the time. Now I’ve resumed training at Elite Physique, and in only a short time, I’ve once again, started to see results. Mercedes is an excellent trainer, she knows her stuff, and she’s not a trainer who read a book, or took a class, and got a certificate. She’s a real IFBB pro, she practices what she preaches, and she’s been dedicated to her sport and passion for many, many years. She explains everything you need to know on your fitness journey, from meals, and meal plans, to tailoring your fitness regime for your specific needs, and goals, to taking into account your specific body type and your specific needs. Everything is geared toward the specific outcomes you’re looking for on your fitness journey, and while Mercedes will be flexible with sessions on the journey, but she’ll hold you accountable to yourself, and push you to reach your goals. She’s not just a trainer, but a daily dose of motivation, and no excuses…..in the end, you’ll get the results you intended, and you’ll be thankful you didn’t go somewhere else!

I have worked with Mercedes for the past 3 years and she always impresses me with her training ability and her ability to really personalize the workout for her clients. It always feel like a family at the studio and now just somewhere you go to workout. She pushes her clients to new levels each time and have taken some pointers myself as my goal is to own my own studio one day. She accepted me to train in her studio and hope that we can continue to work together for more time to come 💪

Finally came in for my first session and let me just say, it’s worth it!! My trainer was so supportive of my efforts the whole session and really accommodating towards my needs. I have PCOS and they were able to design a workout plan to help me manage my symptoms. No doubt, super excited to see where this will go.

This is a wonderful place to train. Mercedes does an excellent job of making everyone feel comfortable and welcome. She has encouraged me, taught me proper technique, and pushed me to keep going when I thought I couldn't. My work with her has paid off immensely. I have lost some weight, toned up, and feel great.

I reached out to this facility because of their good reviews. It took some time to get a response back, but they asked for my availability to come into the studio. I provided a day that I could come in. I received no response and decided it just wasn't going to work out. Cut a few weeks later I get a new e-mail asking if I'm still interested. I responded that I was interested in the personal training, but had not received a response when I provided my availability. They responded back that they had e-mailed me and I never came to the studio.
I checked my inbox incase it got lost, but the only e-mails I could find were from our first correspondence. They were adamant that they sent me an e-mail and told me I should check my e-mails more often. I told them I was no longer interested as a result of their current response. They went at far as to say that I confirmed a 10:30Am appointment, which isn't possible as I work until noon on Saturdays.

Any business that pretends and lies that they communicated with you when they fell short is a business that won't have my trust.

Since Mercedes has become my trainer, she has pushed me to great lengths with amazing results. I am thankful to have found her, she has made me workout journey challenging but amazing at the same time. She does more than train you, she educates you in the process and guides you in every aspect every step of the way. Do yourself a favor and sign up with Mercedes, you will NOT regret it!

Choosing Mercedes to be my trainer/coach is one of the best decisions I’ve made for my overall health and well being. I met her for my first session and immediately knew I wanted to keep training with her. Mercedes is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, genuine and down to earth. The vibe of the studio is so welcoming and she approaches every day with a positive attitude and somehow manages to make challenging sessions fun. I never once felt judged for the shape I was in when I first came in. I have tried for a decade to lose weight on my own, and within 4 months, Mercedes helped me to lose 20 pounds. She pushes me every time past what I think is even possible for me to do and I look forward to working with her to achieve more health goals.
All of the other trainees that go there are really friendly and welcoming people. I love watching their journeys along with mine.
I highly recommend Mercedes if you want to make a real change in your life. It will be challenging but well worth it.

I love this place I was going to another gym and had a trainer for 8months and never lost more then 3lbs. I started with Mercedes and I started seeing results instantly she promised I would loose 20lbs in 3 months and she did not lie she is on it with your meal plans and work out she guides you thru everything at all times in and out of the gym she always answers my texts when I'm doing my grocery shopping for my meal plans the gym is super clean the environment is amazing and motivated there's never a dull day at Elite Physic I've gone in there tired and once you feel the vibes you wake up what ever you were feeling it goes away I highly recommend this a million times

I love to go the studio as it always has a positive vibe and I see other trainees working hard and that inspires me.
In the beginning I was nervous as Mercedes was my very first personal trainer. But she made me feel welcome and comfortable right away.
She listens to my goals and provides a variety of training based on your athletic level. Her deep knowledge and experience, and her strong passion have pushed me hard to become a stronger woman both physically and mentally.

I’ve been training with Mercedes for 5 months now, and I truly believe she is one of the most experienced & committed trainers around.

Mercedes is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging (& somehow fun). My fitness has increased noticeably and I’ve seen improvements in my ability to complete more sit ups / core exercises, lift progressively heavier weights & generally push myself harder throughout each session. I find I actually look forward to my workouts.

Importantly:

– She ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries.

– She is extremely reliable – always set up & ready to start training, with an exercise routine planned.

I thoroughly enjoy working out in a clean/positive environment, and would recommend Mercedes to anyone looking to improve their fitness.

Mercedes is truly wonderful - I can't say enough good things about her. I am so pleased with my personal training with her and with the results that I am achieving.

Amazing workouts are had here! I did a month of boot camp here and not only did I have a great time, but I became much stronger and left with better fitness and more knowledge on how to train my body. Mercedes the trainer knows what she's doing and will help you learn the moves and keep you motivated. Don't be discouraged by the website which is finicky. Use the chat function to get in touch with questions. Also something to keep in mind is their mask policy is lax so not everyone may feel comfortable, but i kept my masks on at all times except to drink water. Doors are usually open for air flow. Facility well maintained and very clean. Small class sizes and supportive fitness community. Top of the line equipment.

Where do I start! I love this place !signed up for 8 week challenge and now I feel so much stronger ! I feel like I can do so much more. Already lost 20 pounds! Mercedes is absolutely amazing ! Everyday we do different things which makes it interesting and not boring ! Even though there are more than few girls in the class she pays attention to every single one of us and tells us what and how to do it.
I am so very grateful and looking forward to achieve my goal by the end of this year..
If you are thinking to sign up , do not delay it.. start today !
