“Before I started working out with Victor, the heaviest weight I’d pick up was 15lbs. I felt like I was getting decent workouts in, but didn’t feel strong. I never felt comfortable in gyms, didn’t know how to use all the the equipment, and felt self conscious and out of place. Victor was there to help me feel comfortable with different weights and equipment, and taught me that the simple equipment and good form is the best. Now I pass most of those crazy looking machines right on by! I have learned not to talk yourself out of something before you’ve tried. I’ve learned I can do way more than I ever thought I could, and I like lifting heavy Sh!t. The don’t quit mindset carries through far beyond the gym. I’ve been to nearly every gym and tried every workout there is. But I actually got stronger and felt like I was making progress towards MY goals when I started training with Victor. He’s a great trainer, always going above and beyond to help you meet your goals or overcome obstacles.”
“Although I’m a goal-oriented person, I know that I would never have achieved or even tried the things I have without having Victor as my trainer. He has a very logical and patient way of setting a goal for me and teaching me how to work toward it. I admit, it sometimes surprised me to realize the progress I made. I would seriously think that a particular goal you set was not for someone like me, and then a few months later, I would find myself doing just what I thought wasn’t realistic before. Having consistent support and a knowledgeable trainer like Victor has meant that I take fitness seriously and now reap the benefits. My weight goals have been met and exceeded and they aren’t even the top priority anymore.”
“Every now and then I do a gut check and ask myself, “Why am I doing what I’m doing?” In this case, “Why am I still working with a trainer?” Well, it makes working out fun, which leads me to make fitness a priority in my life. I have coaching and guidance on what to do. There’s a plan. Plans can be changed if goals change. I’m challenged. It keeps me humble. I’m learning my abilities and well as my limits. I constantly want to do better and be better. But, it also taught me that being better sometimes takes time. It will not always be instantaneous. You may even regress a little before you get better. As cliche as it may sound, perseverance is key. Finally, if you want to get a little philosophical, you can take what I learned from fitness and working with a personal trainer and apply it to things that happen in everyday life. This definitely will remain a priority for me.”
“Victor provides the perfect amount of inspiration with a little “kick in the ass”. He positively motivates when it is earned, and gives you that little needed push when you need that too. He is very knowledgeable and keeps the workouts interesting and fresh – and is always asking for feedback on the workouts.”
“I’m so appreciative of having Victor as my virtual trainer, especially during covid. It keeps me mentally sane during a very isolating and challenging time in all our lives. I am so proud to say that during a time where most people stopped being active due to quarantine and closed gyms, I kept active, worked out 5 or 6 days a week and felt really good! Since I don’t have a home gym or any equipment, I didn’t think it was possible to get a good workout from home. Victor has showed me how to get a good workout in with minimal or no equipment within 30 minutes to fit my busy work schedule. It is so nice to have a consistent workout routine that I can do from anywhere as well as someone on the other end of the phone motivating you to not skip a workout and push yourself. THANKS VICTOR! If you want to be more active from home, build some muscle and could use some motivation to get you there, hire Victor!”
“I started working out with Victor in the gym – his encouragement and no-nonsense coaching and humor made my hardest days fun! Now that I am at home on my own, using his online training app, he still encourages my regular workouts, and helps me reach my health and fitness targets. I appreciate the fun and supportive messages to keep me motivated and moving.”
“Before I started working out with Victor, I had my 4th child the previous year and was finding it increasingly stressful/challenging at work (lots of long meetings, frequent travel, and little time to focus on my health). A wake-up call for me was one-year after having my baby, when the doctor told me I had gained 12 pounds in one year. That had never happened to me before! With my previous children, I always eventually lost weight after they were born… not the other way around. I had never done any personal training in my life. I played on many sports team from all throughout my childhood, high school, and even intramural sports in college. I was also an avid runner all through graduate school and my post-doc. But I never did any personal training. I was not sure I would like the attention of someone watching me workout, quite honestly. Ever since starting training, I have made a lot of progress physically in terms of getting stronger. I can lift heavier weights than when I started 3 years ago. I have also noticed I am running faster and faster each year, since I incorporated strength training into my routine. Even though exercise had always been part of my life, it fell to the sidelines when I had my kids. 4 kids in 8 years – that in itself was a physical challenge! So, with juggling a full-time job, plus 4 kids and all their activities, I realized I needed to re-learn how to carve out time for myself to exercise each and every day. Otherwise it is very easy to become swallowed up in the “hamster wheel” of life and focus on everyone and everything else that needs my attention. Just a big THANK YOU to Victor. He has just the right combination of motivation, expertise, sass, and bad dad jokes to keep things fun! And I appreciate how he can really adapt to working with so many types of people and making everyone feel comfortable.”
“I always wanted to get into working out but didn’t know where to start and was turned off by the attitude of most professional trainers. I am in overall, better physical health because of Victor. By having a professional plan I can make improvements over time in a meaningful way instead of not being active or just doing random workouts. Victor does a great job of making working out both accessible and effective.”
“I have enjoyed Victor Anderson’s personal training services for the last 9 months. It began with individual personal training sessions. We planned two sessions per week for 8 weeks. I was looking for someone who could develop a detailed training program for me – but also someone who can educate me on numerous training questions. Victor is personable and has a tremendous passion for what he does. He is knowledgeable on all aspect of health, and knows just how hard to push his clients, while still keeping it fun. We have now transitioned to his online program and it is the perfect program for someone who needs some structure and an expert to help modify the program. I would strongly recommend Victor as a personal trainer and I fully endorse the online program he has developed.”
“I have been working out on my own for some time and have reached a plateau. I knew I needed the guidance of a personal trainer who is not only knowledgeable and qualified in his field, but can also motivate me to push hard past my comfort zone without compromising safety. Victor was greatly instrumental in helping me achieve my goals of increasing muscle definition and decreasing body fat. He not only showed me new and different ways to exercise, he also provided me with additional resources to augment my exercise program. So whether you’re new to working out and want to learn how to exercise properly, or you just need some variety in your exercise routine, Victor is the personal trainer for you.”
“Victor has been training me for a few months now and I could not be happier. He has to lot of knowledge about fitness and has taught me so much. And on the days that I am not really feeling motivated he pushes me because he knows I can do it. Thanks Vic for all you do!”
“Victor is truly a great coach and mentor — his dedication and willingness to help someone is amazing! Being an “older” person; and taking part in personal training has been a adventure; if something isn’t working or you really are not able to do something, Victor will tailor the workout to accommodate your ability and skill; but he is also someone who believes you can do it even if you push back – he is there to say give it a try! I will say Victor has always been pleasant and will up the game if he thinks you are ready for it! Have had the opportunity and privilege to be a client of Victor’s; multiple times over the last 3 years and feel pretty good! Many improvements, but as they say you can always improve! So still working on the “after picture!!!!”
“Victor came with great recommendations and meeting with him one on one I could tell that he was concerned about creating a fitness plan that would work for me. I am much stronger, healthier and weigh less because of Victor. I strongly recommend his Online Personal Training because it is so much more affordable than one-on-one training and he still gives you the attention that he would give you if he trained you in person. The communication with Victor makes the whole online training process very easy and totally doable for anyone!”
“After 6 months of working on my own I felt lost, I wanted to continue working out but I had no idea what to do. I really like the way all of the exercises have a video and when a video is a little vague, there is a explanation. Victor is a excellent personal trainer who really cares about seeing me succeed, his training programs are custom made just for me. At age 57 I can’t do everything that a younger person can do and he takes all of that into consideration and has really made it fun for me to reach my goals. I have lost 44 pounds and I feel strong. I feel Great!! I cant wait to go to the gym”
Wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Victor Anderson, my personal trainer. I am down 20 lbs, I feel motivated and energetic. Your motivation, positive encouragement and knowledge are what keeps me going to Elite every morning. You are awesome.
“Hey everyone- if anybody is looking to change things up a bit and work with a personal trainer, I would like to put out a recommendation for Victor Anderson. I was looking to ensure I had proper form with exercises I was already doing, as well as learn new exercises and routines. Victor introduced me to programs for all major muscle groups. If it was something I’ve done before, he made sure I had good form. Improper form is corrected immediately. If it was new to me, he took time to demonstrate the exercise as well as briefly tell me why I was doing it. Each time we meet, I learn and do something different or try to improve upon what I’ve done. Most importantly is Victor’s enthusiasm for what he does and the motivation and challenge he provides. If something appears to be getting easy, he increases the intensity. He doesn’t let you cut corners, and don’t even try to put down the weight before the set is up—you’ll hear about it! The training is exactly what I was looking for. I also gained confidence in some things that I would not have otherwise tried on my own. If you’re trying to meet specific goals for yourself or are looking to learn something new, Victor will provide the instruction and motivation you need (but, don’t forget to bring your dedication and effort)!”
“Victor has been my trainer for a year & he has taught me a lot about fitness and nutrition. Victor has shown me what I am capable of achieving in the gym. He is motivating and fun to have as a trainer. Thank you!”
“I started working out with Victor in the gym – his encouragement and no nonsense coaching and humor made my hardest days fun!
