Taylors Fitness

I found Erik when researching how to mend an IT band injury in 2013. I had started running and had done everything wrong on my own — too far too quick and too long at first. Erik set me up with a sensible core training program with instructions on stretching and rolling to prevent further injury. From that time I have since increased my training with him and have been a regular weekly client since early 2014. With his help I have lost 50 pounds, run 2 half marathons, the Inca Trail and numerous 5 and 10Ks. More importantly though I am healthier and stronger than I ever have been and have been injury free for 2 years. Erik tailors (no pun intended) the workouts to your individual needs but does push you to where you never thought you could be. He will also put schedules together for me if I’m traveling and need to utilize the equipment at hotels. I feel and look better in my 50s than I did at 40 and could not (would not) have gotten this far without Taylors Fitness.

I was a broken triathlete when I came to Erik. I literally couldn’t move. My right shoulder was shot from swimming, my knees were stiff, my abs and lower back hurt too much to do crunches or extensions, and I had Achilles tendinitis. Somehow, he found a way to train me so that none of my numerous issues would be aggravated. In fact, whatever he made me do strengthened the things that needed help so that my problems all started to go away. At one point, I seriously thought something was wrong with me because of how many things hurt, but it looks like it was all muscle imbalances developed from the training I’d done on my own for years before seeing Erik.
Working out here is like doing an awesomely intense CrossFit workout, but with tons of personal attention so you won’t do anything to hurt yourself and everything is tailored perfectly to your goals and current condition. You can’t beat the location (a block from the beach), and I really like the indoor-​outdoor garage gym space he’s set up. It definitely doesn’t take a lot of equipment to make me sore (in a good way.)
Sorry I sound like an infomercial. I just finally got my endorphins back after months on the sidelines because of my injuries and am ridiculously happy about it.

Very knowledgeable. A balanced full body approach to fitness.
