The most exceptional team I've ever encountered. Elie and every one of his trainers are phenomenal - kind, patient, smart, knowledgeable, encouraging. The kind of good that inspires and helps you to achieve maximum benefit. My father had been active all his life, but had heart surgery about a year ago. His doctors stressed the importance of working out, but he did not know where to begin and was getting quite sedentary. After doing scrupulous research, I was blessed to find Elie and his team. Since my dad began working with Elie, my father sometimes "forgets" to use his walker. :) His gait, strength, and overall movement are more self-assured and balanced, and he and the rest of the family are overjoyed. He started with once a week and now Elie and his team go to my father's house and work out with him three times a week. My father is a very strong personality, so the fact that he really loves and is completely comfortable with the whole team speaks volumes. They are SuperTrainer angels. I can, without any reservation, highly recommend Elie and his team to help you get every great result you want (and those you even dream about!) and more through their comprehensive and expert knowledge of the body and their superior training. read more

The core of the training is to be at a good place where a person feels comfortable, welcome and motivated. The staff is very friendly, humble and down to earth. Their professional competency and their great attitude is their secret ingredient. I also had the opportunity to meet the owner Elie , he listened to me patently and guided me all through my goals and was a great source of goal driven attitude. Motivation comes and goes, but these people have a drive. They will make sure that you don't lose your drive through out your transition, and will ensure that you get beyond what you expected. I never had a training like this before in my life! Great work guys, Keep it up ! read more

I have been working out for years and not seeing the changes I wanted to achieve. I had a friend in my neighborhood that over the period of a few months literally looked like a new person. He explained he was training with Elite Fitness...so I went to see Elie and I started the program 2 months ago. I really feel like a different person. Between the diet plan and the workout sessions it has been an amazing experience. Steve read more

ABOUT ELITE FITNESS Thirty -five years ago I was 175 lbs. and had great health. I was a runner on the beach .Some days running between 8 and 14 miles. THAT WAS THEN .Life is what happens while your making other plans. It was never my plan to weigh 300 lbs. Nor was it my plan to have a near fatal heart attack at age 57, 7 years ago. Took a dirt nap on the table three times on a Friday the thirteenth. So now on top of being obese I now had heart disease was on blood thinners and all the other stuff they make you take when you have a stent put in your heart. My heart beat was all screwed up with a tachycardia. That's were. my heart would race up to 180 beats a minute for no reason at all. I WAS A MESS AND WELL ON MY WAY TO DIABETES. I started going to a gym for a while. walking in the pool, a little walk on the treadmill. During that time I met Elie Merhi and he offered to train me and I declined. I told him I was going to self train. I was at about 280lbs. SELF TRAINED FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS. Lost about 20lbs. In June of 2012 I ran into Elie at my local Publix. HE ASKED HOW MY SELF TRAINING WAS WORKING OUT. Sadly I could only say I lost 20 pounds in 5 years. He told me I'm wasting my time. He persuaded me to sign up with him and he would change my life and I would be like I was 30 years ago. JULY17th 2012 I started my half hour sessions once a week and followed the diet Elie put me on after he did a body mass index (BMI) measurement on me. My triglyceride blood level was 270. I WEIGHED IN AT 278. By October I was about 245lbs. When I went to my cardiologist IN OCTOBER my triglyceride level was 50. MY DOCTOR WAS OVERWHELMED AND HE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I told him and he just sat back amazed . and I have continued to amaze people everywhere I go. I refer to Elie Merhi as one of my doctors now. I now weigh 193lbs. I lift weights with a structured and purposeful strategy. I can now run again on the beach maybe not 14 miles any more but two will do and not even winded. I ware my old clothes that actually say made in the USA. I HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE WHO I AM IF THEY HAVE NOT SEEN ME IN TWO YEARS. Recently THIS WAS SENT TO ME BY SOMEONE WHO HAS BECOME NEAR AND DEAR TO ME. A HEART TECH THAT HELPED PERFORM A RISKY OPERATION ON MY HEART HAS NOMINATED ME FOR THE LIFE STYLE CHANGE AWARD. This is what she wrote about me..... To whom it may concern I am excited about the Palm Beach Heart walk this year and our team here at Boca Raton Regional Hospital! When I read about the Lifestyle change Award, I immediately thought of my friend, Gene Picchi. Gene was my patient when I worked in the Cardiac Electro physiology Lab as a staff RN. He came through a very serious cardiac procedure and I think that experience caused him to want to make a change in his lifestyle. He has changed his eating habits, works out with a personal trainer, and as you can see by the attached photos, has had a dramatic change in his fitness level. The two on the bottom are his acting headshot from a few years ago and his current acting headshot. I have asked Gene's permission to nominate him and he would be happy to speak to you about any details of this lifestyle change. I hope you will consider him - he is a very special person! MA I got back my LIFE with help from Elie and ELITE FITNESS SO IF YOUR OUT TO STAY ALIVE LIKE ME, I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO GET ELITE FITNESS BEHIND YOU TO HELP YOU MAKE THAT CHANGE DON'T WAIT TO LONG. . NOT EVERYONE GETS A SECOND CHANCE, GOOD LUCK ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE GENE read more

27 minutes ago It has been 6 months and counting. I've lost over 50 lbs and my husband lost over 80 lbs. Before Elite, I became discouraged and lost all hope. Elie and his team of trainers restored my faith. Elie, is the owner and he is dedicated to us achieving our goals each week. The customized meal plan has been the key to our success. Our prior diet was horrible and that was the first thing that we had to change. The workout sessions are tough and that's what we need to see real change. Elie, has a team of trainers that are great. We LOVE Brandon, he is a phenomenal trainer. He always gets those extra 2-3 reps out of us. If you are ready to make a change and tired of the same thing and getting no results, I highly recommend Elite Fitness. read more

I've been going to Elite Fitness and working with Elie Merhi and his team for several weeks, after spending a ton of money, time and energy at another gym, all to no avail. Within approximately 8 weeks, I've lost nearly 30 pounds, and I'm still going. The knowledge and expertise of Elie and his team are evident as soon as you meet for the first time. Eiie did a comprehensive body analysis on me, something no one had ever done, and with that information, formulated a customized diet and exercise plan specifically to meet my needs and accomplish my goals. I've gone further in 2 months at Elite what I didn't come close to in almost a year elsewhere. And no one will be as invested in your success as the team at Elite Fitness, guaranteed. read more

I have been a part of the Elite Fitness family for almost three months and never looked forward to starting a workout program until I met with ELIE. He is very knowledgeable on health and fitness. His team of trainers are equally amazing. Everyone is nice and exude positive energy with every workout! If you are ready for a lifestyle change then Elite Fitness will help you on your journey. read more

Elite Fitness - Vivian and Adam - Trainers Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I wish that i spoke to someone who had trained with them before i signed up to get an honest opinion. Hope this helps someone who is thinking of training with elite of East boca. To start off , when you talk to Elie the owner i will give it to him. He is quite the salesman. Tells you that he will stay with you until you achieve your goal. That is not true. First off , you will not train with him. He trains you one time before you sign up (pay) then you are pawned off on the bunch of 20 something kids for all of your sessions. The cost is astronomical. 90 dollars for a half hour. The lowest bunch you can buy are 12 sessions-- $1,080.00 ! Once they are up , if you don't renew, you are totally ignored. Lastly, don't also waste your money on his nutrition plan --$599.00 ! He says that you can lose 10 - 15 pounds a month. Not likely. All it is is a high protein no or low carb diet broken into 5 small meals a day. Once he emails you this , that's it. No adjustments, no checking in on you. Totally disappointed in what this should have been. Do not waste your money here. There are plenty of good trainers , this is not one. read more

I used to be in shape and for the last few years the weight has been creeping up on me. All of the sudden, loosing weight is much harder, working out is a bigger challenge and I wasted so much time, trying short cuts and diets that I knew would not work. I wasted money on cleanses, gimmicky workout routines and different diets. All along, I knew that I needed to go back to what is proven to work. It is all about what you eat and how you train your body. It all clicked back once I started working out with Elie and his wonderful team of trainers, Vivian, Annie, Isaac and Kiel. They are incredibly knowledgeable and know just what to say to keep you working hard while also feeling accomplished during and after every single workout. They are all rooting for you! This is an amazing value. I have gotten lasting results and I am loving having my figure back, plus, I am stronger than ever. They are with you every step of the way. I only wish I had decided to spend the money a year earlier than when I started. Elie and the amazing trainers we have had have made such a positive impact in they way chose to eat and the way I take care of myself. You are bound to find the perfect fit for you. read more

I used to train with Elie many years ago and he was an amazing trainer and coach then. Life happened and I moved away for awhile. I came back and his business has grown tenfold since then. And I know why. He is the best.

Every day, reliably, with good humor, friendly smiles, and constant caring and involvement, Elite Fitness is there for me and for all their clients, helping motivate and move us toward our goals.

I wanted to wait a few months before I left a review to truly get an accurate assessment. I am a little over 2 months in and I can't give enough stars to Elite! Elie is the owner and he has established a great program that truly works if you put the effort in. You will be held accountable. Expect to weigh-in at each visit and if you aren't hitting your marks you will be questioned. No BS excuses here! Elie lets you know from the get go that you will train with more than one person. I was hesitant on this at first but then the idea grew on me. The ideology and genius behind it is that you can always expect a challenging consistent workout at your convenience. If your particular trainer isn't available in your time of need he has someone ready to step in and you won't miss a beat! With that being said, I primarily train with Brandon. He is exceptional, he somehow finds the way to push and challenge you without taking it to far. You always want to come back for more! I genuinely look forward to waking up and heading in for my 30 minute workout! I am so excited to see the continual changes that my body will go through with Elite Fitness! read more

I have tried for years to lose weight and keep it off, but no matter what I tried, I always gained it back. The difference at Elite fitness is that Elie and his trainers teach you both how and why to weight train and they teach you how to eat. His diet is the only one I have ever been able to stick with, and after hoping to lose 5-10 lbs, I am now down 14. The bonus is that my cholesterol is down 50 points! Going to Elite Fitness has changed my life, and I completely recommend it. A few of my friends have joined, and they love it, too. It's worth every penny! read more

I first met Elie in November of 2011- what drew me to him was a picture of a mutual friend that has been training with Elie- I couldn't believe how good he looked and he told me he owed it all to Elie and I should get my ass in there right away- I went over to see Elie that day, and that day was the beginning of the rest of my life! Since training with Elie, I have lost approximately 15 pounds and gained 6 pounds of muscle- I have completely transformed my body - I never thought i could gain muscle at this stage of my life, but I was wrong- His training method is very unique however very simple- Every set is to failure, then he forces reps with negatives- this is REAL personal training- you cant do this alone- and you must do this with a professional that know what he is doing and will keep you safe when you go heavy. I am stronger and more fit now , than I was when I was 30. I am now 48 and feel like a million bucks!! - Thank you Elie! read more

The entire team is awesome! Best personal trainers in the field. Have used many other gyms and trained with many other trainers but these guys know their ***t! Very attentive to your personal needs and goals. read more

Met Elie about 2 years ago while I was out one night with friends. We got to talking about eating right and working out and the next day I became a client. I wanted to tone up, build more strength and incorporate working out into my very busy lifestyle. Destressing is a key factor for me. Within a month of following his plan, I was feeling great and looking really good. I'm still training with Elie and I'm very happy with him and my results. You can't get any better than Elie. read more

I am so fortunate to have found Elie and his team! I came to Elite fitness to lose the last few pounds I gained after my fourth child that I was unable to lose despite eating healthy and exercising. Elie helped me see that not only could I lose that weight, but I could get down to what I weighed before children if I wanted. Six weeks later I have lost almost 15 pounds, I am more tone that I have been in years and I feel amazing. Elie takes the time to understand your goals and the obstacles that might stand in your way. Elie and the other trainers at Elite motivate you and push you to reach your goals in a fun and positive way. Elie is always available if I have questions or just need encouragement. If you are looking to make a true change in your health and fitness, Elite is definitely the way to go! read more
