The main benefit I got from Eric is perfecting my form. If you know lifting, you know form is everything! I have added more than 50 pounds to each of my main workouts, bench, deadlift, shoulder press, and squat. Eric pays close attention to your form at each workout and helps you get stronger and avoid injury. Also, something that I had to pick up (moving into corporate life) was managing my diet. Eric is also a nutritionist which means he has the keys to your success regardless of your lifestyle.
This man is knowledgeable and wants to help! This is what pointed me towards this trainer. Soo… get in the gym!”

This January I finally got to the point where I knew I had to make a change in my lifestyle. Like most everyone, I was pre-diabetic and I also had high blood pressure, which I took medication for and I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror.
In my first session with Eric, I realized how out of shape I was. In the next few sessions, Eric would suggest what I needed to purchase (supplements, scale, fitbit) and he also downloaded a few health “Apps” on my phone. I think I was a bit overwhelmed BUT as the session progressed, I realized there was a reason for it all. It all started making sense.
I then started buying organic whenever possible Weighing my food taking my supplements adding lemon to my water Attempting to meet my daily carbs/protein goals that Eric had set up for me. The weight started coming off, and the crazy part was that I was eating more food in a day than I had been used to eating. I always associated MORE food with weight GAIN. It took a while for me to erase that way of thinking; Eating the RIGHT foods and the RIGHT amounts do NOT equal weight gain.
I’m a “Steak & Potato” kind of girl and I’m still allowed to eat that. Can you believe that !! I’ve not craved any fast food in over 5 months. I look in the mirror & that is my motivation to keep going. To keep on track. I am wearing outfits that I’ve had saved in my closet for years. One of the greatest feelings is receiving compliments on my weight loss ! I’ve lost 18-20 lbs so far. I can walk up stairs without knee pain. I don’t have to take BP meds anymore. I can pick up and carry my duffle bags & groceries without struggling. I feel how I’ve built up my strength.
I’ve always believed that people come into your life for a reason. Eric was meant to come in to my life at this crucial time. He became more than just a life coach/trainer. Part of the life change journey includes clearing the mind of anxiety and stress. That all plays a part in losing weight and your health. Eric was also my therapist. LOL. Some mornings I couldn’t hide the stress and we’d talk about it. He gave great advice. He truly wanted to see me succeed. I am not the same woman that I was 5 months ago. It all started with my workouts with Eric. From there, I found my SELFWORTH, and from there I was able to start dating and have a more positive outlook on life. It all fell in to place.
I cannot see myself ever going back to my old ways of not taking care of my body. What Eric has taught me is PRICELESS ! There is NO magic Pill. It’s all about learning how to keep yourself engaged with little workouts & watching what you put into your body. IT’S ACTUALLY VERY SIMPLE. I can’t believe it took me this long to finally figure it out. That never would have happened if it wasn’t for me reaching out to Eric back in January. He’s such a wonderful human being that really cares about his clients.
I’ll end this with a “Head under, Head under”. :)”

Eric is a great trainer and an awesome human.
He is super knowledgeable about fitness, health and nutrition.
He is very helpful, attentive, and always happy to give advice.
If you are looking to train with a personal trainer who is fun, kind and will make you reach your goals, Eric is your guy.”

I started with Eric as a 51 year old woman with very arthritic knees, obese, literally off-balance, and taking lots of asthma medication. What started as a 3-month trial ended in a 7-month commitment to myself. Eric taught me about nutrition and the foods I was eating that triggered not only my asthma, but full body inflammation. With Eric’s guidance I learned to eat better, to meal prep and to exercise, all while keeping an eye on my lab work and health. Through this journey I lost a few pounds, I strengthened my core, alleviated the pain in my knees, and regained my balance. Best of all, I came off ALL my asthma medication to the surprise of my allergist that was focusing on controlling my asthma through more and more medication.
This was not easy for someone like me who was not agile nor comfortable in her body. Eric made working out fun, I appreciated his sense of humor and never condescending attitude. He will definitely give you back what you put in. Eric is the best investment ever made to myself.
From the bottom of my heart Eric, I thank you. I appreciate you, your expertise, and your patience with me. I recommend Trainer/Hero Eric James Hanusa 150%, worth every penny.”

I’ve never had a more patient, yet persistent trainer in my life. He is so knowledgeable about both nutrition and fitness, I feel like the educational side of it alone is worth the money! He took the time to teach me not just what to do in the moment to achieve my goals, but also how to build a sustainable routine of good eating and health habits that will stick with me for life.
On the strength side of things, he got me hooked on compound exercises that have helped me build functional strength that I’m able to use in my every day life. Not only that, but I asked him specifically to help me with jumping higher to help with beach volleyball and he put together a personalized sand workout program for me that focuses on the muscles and techniques needed to jump in sand!
Hiring a personal trainer was tough for me after not seeing results from past trainers. It’s a big commitment financially for a service that may not get you any closer to your goals. Choosing Eric was the best decision I’ve made from a health perspective and I am finally seeing results that speak for themselves. I have used a few personal trainers over the last few years and can say with certainty that nobody compares with Eric.
I encourage anybody reading this who might be thinking a personal trainer is right for them to look no further, Eric is your guy. The rest of the amazing reviews on here speak for themselves, you won’t regret it!”

Eric is VERY patient (sorry for having to take so many breaks during our workouts!) but also pushes you to get the best out. While working out with him in the gym, he will have you doing so much more than you thought you were capable of. He knows his way around a gym and around a kitchen. If you have questions about nutrition, Eric will always have an answer. He’s knowledgable about the science and practices behind foods and eating and helps you to understand as well. He went so far as to curate a personalized shopping list for me to make cooking easier.
I cannot recommend him enough.”

I should start by saying that as a female, I was wary of working with a male trainer. However, from the first session I trained with Eric, I felt comfortable and I trusted his expertise. Eric is extremely professional and personable. He is dependable, never having missed a scheduled session and always willing to accommodate my schedule.
I had reached a plateau working out on my own and was frustrated, but in the short time I have trained with Eric my body has transformed. Eric helped me breakthrough my old routine and shrank my waist and toned my arms. As a result of training with Eric I am stronger and leaner. He always makes an effort to check in and make sure we are working to achieve my goals.
I have a tendency to get bored easily, but Eric has expertly managed to keep me engaged and excited about working out. He is always adding new exercises. I look forward to my sessions with Eric and feel lucky to have him as my trainer. Most importantly, Eric pushes me in ways I would never push myself. He is both encouraging and tough. I leave every session feeling like I accomplished something.
It is with the highest regard that I recommend Eric Hanusa to anyone interested in personal training.”

He’s super knowledgable about fitness and nutrition. Very clear he’s been doing this for a long while and has seen results.

I am still working towards my end goal but training with Eric provided me with doable and repeatable results that I am still practicing today.”
Kai F.
Sometimes if you don’t know how far your body can go it can be easy to just accept where your body is at and not want to tone more or eat healthier, but Eric takes the next step in his practice and pushed me to realize I can go further. When I worked with Eric I noticed a difference in my confidence and overall abilities I didn’t realize I had. Eric prepared me to be able to use these techniques for the rest of my life, which made every second worth it.
It can be daunting and somewhat intimidating to try to tackle health and fitness on your own. Even with the numerous resources on the internet, when you solely rely on videos as your guide through fitness, you essentially lack the intimate human interaction you need for proper form to protect your body and encouragement when all you want to do is roll over and not get up. Eric is a great instructor and I really respect his drive to keep going and push others to optimal health. He’s a walking dictionary when it comes to dietary health and will stop at nothing when it comes to helping you get your body to where you want it to be.
Thanks to Eric I was prepared to backpack across Europe this summer and not be exhausted because he taught me about the power of strength training so I was ready for the journey.
So if you have any specific goals or even just a general idea of what you want the future of your health to look like I encourage starting the conversation with Eric and working your way to ideal health as the new year approaches.”

I’m very thankful my son and I found Eric. Sometimes it takes a lot of frog kissing to find a prince. Here in LA, there are a lot of flakes. Eric is genuine. I can’t recommend him enough.”
Jason L.
I’ve been training with Eric for 2 months and lost a lot of my hidden fats that I wanted to remove through healthier diet and exercise. He was honest with me the whole time and people around me started to tell me that I look like I lost a lot of weight. His fitness nutrition and fitness knowledge is so meticulous and customizes the workout regimen towards me knowing that everyone is different. I feel a lot stronger and started to be more body confident. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a personal trainer.”
Jill M. for husband Jeff
He is an engineer – so following a plan works well for him. He worked with Eric for about 6 months and in that time, he lost 65lbs, is off both the high blood pressure pills and is so much healthier! So we all are happy – myself, our kids and our grandkids…
Eric is steadfast in his encouragement, dedication to the task and kept my husband “tasked” the entire workout — the expression is “I’m going to go see the torturer” whenever he left for the gym, but he came back with saying “I lived!” and the results are remarkable.
Recommend Eric to anyone!”

”My experience with Eric was beyond what was expected from a trainer. He took the time to get to know me and to create a schedule that worked for me. He was great about discussing nutrition, helping break bad habits, and working with my health needs. So many benefits… more fit, stronger, much better sleep, and more. Eric is worth it. Your future you will thank you!”
Alex H.
Watching some of the trainers at my local gym over the years, I was skeptical about working with a trainer since I saw them frequently demonstrating terrible form in their own workouts. I wanted to get some feedback on my lifting technique to get in better shape for beach volleyball season, and Eric was exceptionally clear, instructive, and confident in improving my form. Every correction had a straightforward explanation that made me feel assured I was following solid advice rather than just blindly following a bunch of random instructions.
As far as personal trainers go, Eric is exactly what I was looking for to help improve my fitness and strength in and out of the gym.
If you are looking for a great trainer to motivate and guide you safely and effectively in reaching your goals, Eric is your man!”
