El Shaddai is a very precise trainer. He takes his trade and your time very serious. You WILL see results IF You follow his instructions. He focuses on technique tremendously which yields immediate results. He makes you realize that you have been doing it wrong for years (sit ups, crunches, lunges and pretty much everything lol)! His simple adjustments will make your workouts more EFFECTIVE. The technique he teaches you will last a lifetime and help you to achieve and/or maintain a fantastic physique for years to come. 

He doesn’t over do it and discourage you in the very beginning. He pushes you to work hard at a perfect pace and before you know it, you see results! Truly amazing. I HIGHLY recommend El.

El is a great personal trainer.He knows exactly what it's the right exercise for your body also help you with diet, and routine in your own time. Im very happy with his service.

Big El, as I called him, was the first personal trainer I hired that gave me results that I could see in a couple of weeks! Very knowledgeable in what he does! Even though I fought tooth n nail during training he still had the wherewithal to keep me in line and once I started n saw results started to get excited about my new body n look! I can fully recommend him to anyone! 

El has been an excellent trainer.  He pushed me to reach my ultimate goals.  He stretched and made sure he gave me vigorously workouts which yield great results.  He pushed me to attained my results.  I am forever grateful because I became stronger and leaner. I am sure  you have not come across a better trainer than El. He pushes you to your outer limits and just like me you will see results.  Be prepared to work and love how you feel and look afterward.  Be prepared to kick but!!Signed a very satisfied customer, 

El is more than an excellent trainer . He cares about his clients reaching there goals. Not only is he an expert in fitness . But he is very serious about the nutritional aspects of his clients health. His most famous statement was ". No pain, no gain" when I trained with him a few years ago. He helped me to reach some of my fitness goals and always encouraged consistency, patience, and good nutrition . Trust me this guy is not a novice . He was born to train! 

I have known El for 17 years and during that time I have always returned to him as a personal trainer. He is so professional that he will have trainers cover for him when he has to be away and although they were very good, none compared to El. His total commitment to your progress, safety, and personal best is outstanding. El coaches the body, the mind, and the spirit. Definitely one of the best. 

I've know Eli for 15 years and he as always been professional on his craft.

The best Trainer in NYC. When you meet El realize that he’s underpaid. Not only is he training you to get the best out of your body, he listens to your personal problems and off his life experiences. You learn to appreciate your what have and what you need to do get right physically, mentally, and spiritually. Not only do you get a Trainer, you get a Therapist and most importantly a Role Model.

El helped me out for the wedding for my sister. Getting ready I needed help - this personal trainer fixed me up and helped me get a six pack with strict dieting and hard training. 

He is the perfect trainer. I had the pleasure of working with this guy. Amazing trainer, he knows what he's doing, always makes sure you have the right posture. He's motivational and talks to you about your goals and never misses a day. Always punctual. I can't wait to start my next session with him. 

El is a very knowledgeable, professional personal trainer. 

I had this man as my personal trainer for years. I must say the results are always remarkable and for longevity. I will always refer El as a personal trainer. 

I have tried many different trainers in the last 15 years but none of them has been effective like El. Since I have trained with El I have seen tremendous results in a very short time. 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 actually look forward to my workouts. El inspires me to be great, pushes me to the limit where I can reach my ultimate goals. He ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries. He is extremely reliable & punctual – always set up & ready to start training ahead of time, with an exercise routine planned. I would recommend El to anyone who wants to achieve his or her personal health goals... Mind over Matter!

El got me back on track and I was able to focus on my goals. He is motivating, patient and most of all he made sure to reach out on the days we were not working out as an extra support to keep my head in the game. He is an exceptional master trainer.

El has been such a dedicated personal trainer. Always on time, smiling, cheerful and a pleasure to work with. I have seen so many positive results with my health and weight. I would highly recommend him.

 I felt as though my previous trainer did all that he could for me. So I hired El to take me to the next level. This guy trains beast mode style! Whenever I felt as though I had no more to give. He would tell me to "Own my workout" and get it done. Cause when it's done... it's done. If you are looking for someone punctual, laser focused and knowledgeable. You can't go wrong with El. I highly recommend.

 For me, El is cut out to be a good trainer. He has passion, he is a good coach, and he possesses a large character and a lot of skills. When I look at myself today, I feel great and very proud and self-confident, after spending a few months with him .That’s why I never regret when I refer someone to El Schaddai.

 I came to El when I was over weight and definitely out of shape. I was lazy and only wanted to do the bare minimum. El was able to motivate me with his positive attitude and knowledge of fitness. When I first met El, all I wanted to do was lose a few pounds and get rid of my stomach. I was scared of weights. I didn't want to bulk up. El explained to me that strength training was just as important as cardio and if I wanted to see change I needed to do both. I was still a little reluctant but he was there to motivate and encourage me ever step of the way. I was not only able to lose the weight and my stomach but I gained muscle and toned as well. El is one of the best trainer hands down.

El Schaddai is the real deal. He is incredibly knowledgeable, he has a wonderful personality, and will push you beyond your mental and physical limits. There's no question that El knows exactly how to train you to get the most out of your body, mind and soul. I highly recommend El. Hire him if you want the BEST body and mind you've ever had.

When I first met El, I knew I was going to hire him because I knew he knew his stuff! Within 3 months of working twice per week, I am seeing and experiencing the results - 5 inches off my chest; 2 inches off my waist, and 6 inches off my abdomen; with 1.5 inches off hips. Lost four lbs, yet I am able to decrease my six-mile jog by approximately 30 minutes less (from 100 minutes to 70 minutes), sometimes running 3 miles without stopping. El is the best, and is highly recommended! Each workout is intense because I am sweating, and simultaneously shedding and becoming stronger. I don't regret hiring him. And above all, it is the greater joy, health, well-being, and self-confidence I am experiencing. Thank you, El!

El is a great trainer, he takes great care to design your program based on your needs and goals. The results from our work together far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a personal trainer whether they are a beginner or highly experienced.

El was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was patient and made sure I performed each exercise effectively. Most of all he was encouraging when I wanted to quit. I definitely saw a difference after a few sessions.

I've had the pleasure of working with El Schaddai at different phases in my life. The first time was in the early 2000's when my goal was to get my body back to my 34-28-38 measurement after having giving birth. He was always professional and pushed me harder each time to hit my target within the time frame we set. 2016 to 2017 and Now in my 40's my focus was much different, my goal was to increase strength toning and endurance training. My schedule is hectic but with El's assistance I was able to get and stay on track. I love the individualize routine and focus training he implements in our sessions. The fact that I searched for him more than 15 Years later says something. If I'm to spend on something I want professionalism, consistency and results. He provides all or the above!!!

I must say El is truly amazing at what he does. When I started training with EL, I was weak and not tone. He took his time to assess my strengths and weaknesses before we started the journey. He made sure he had an understanding of what my goals and what I was trying to accomplish. El motivated me to push myself though different levels of training when I get comfortable with the routine. I must say I'm extremely happy and proud of my transformation from the time I started with EL. He's a keeper and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I would recommend him to everyone because he's good. You want results, El Your Guy! I mean look at his body, he lives and breaths fitness!

El is a great trainer I enjoyed working with him. He is always on time and very professional ,he is always prepared with new tools and equipment to help get my post baby body back in the shape the way I needed it to be. He always has a program ready for the me, and keeps my progress file with him when I need it. We trained several places gym outdoors. He is also knowledgeable health information I need especially on changing my diets and being a vegan myself he gave me some interesting recipes. He is a good motivator, at time the workouts can be tough, end results are great , I always reccomend El.

El has helped me to transform my body. He is patient and will work with you to develop the correct techniques when working out. He also assisted me with a diet plan to further aid my progress. I saw results very soon after working with him.

From Day 1, El has proven to be a very knowledgable trainer that puts you at ease. He thoroughly talked me through his training style, my goals, and asked that I trust in his methodology. Because of this thoroughness, I agreed to put my trust in him and haven't regretted it. The breadth of his experience comes through in every workout: he mixes it up with a variety of exercises that engages multiple muscle groups at a time, and is able to adapt on the fly when there are challenges with equipment availability. I always feel like I'm getting the most out of every session. Additionally he motivates not by being aggressive, but by being a calming presence that pushes me to fight through every last rep, overcoming mind over matter. Finally, he shows that he truly cares about me achieving my goals in that he took time to put together a training program for me to do while he was away on vacation, so that I would not regress. The excitement he shows when I've shown progress in getting fitter and stronger exemplifies how much El loves what he does as a trainer.

Before training with El, I trained twice a week with someone who left me feeling broken. I dreaded workouts! With El, I train three times a week and look forward to our workouts. He believes in balance, strength and stretching! I highly recommend El! 

I have the pleasure of knowing El for the past 10 years. He initially trained my friend and as I saw her transition, I decided now is the time. I have worked with El on my weightless journey and he was pivotal to me losing weight.

Not only is he a great trainer, but he is a good listener and gave me healthy tips for diet as well. I looked forward to our sessions because I knew it was a safe space to unburdened myself. He also gave amazing advice and most importantly, he listens. He and his wife treated me like I was family. Both often checking on me during the times I would travel to work. El even offers virtual sessions and gave me homework so when I would be away for work, I would use the homework and stay on track for our sessions. He would also make adjustments if I needed.

I am not the stellar, die hard gym rat. I am a regular busy working person and El was able to fit into my crazy schedule. Sometimes we would workout in the morning then the evening, the following day. El is fantastic. And I love the fact that he is a praying, God loving and fearing man. Salt to the earth good people. If you are looking for life change and you are ready to make that plunge, and you need guidance and someone to keep you on track. El is your person. I was sad that he moved to Florida, but I know it was the right decision for him and his family. That’s why I am pleased to highly recommend him. Thanks, El.

Much Love,

El Shaddai training technique is phenomenal. He evaluates his client and designs a workout program specifically for them. His core work is exceptional. I've experienced larger muscle mass with overall fitness tone. He really has taken personal training to the next level. I highly suggest his training for any one who truly wants to see results fast.

El is more than a trainer. He is a friend, a motivator and all around good human being. I came to El in a difficult time where I need to take back control of my physical health. He made me accountable and treated me with dignity. If you are looking for a trainer with the knowledge and compassion for your expectations, look no further. He is the man! 

El Shaddai taught me to enjoy working out.  Before we met for the first time, he took his time and explained to me his training philosophy and the steps that he will be taking to get me into shape.

I assumed it would be a short relationship.  Years later I am still working out and he is still teaching me to love the gym. El's workout program not only builds the body, but also enhance your life in a positive and supportive way that changed how I thought about exercise.  He is an excellent trainer.
