"Working with Eric, by far, has given Kade the results he has wanted..."
My son has tried many programs. Working with Eric, by far, has given Kade the results he has wanted and it is showing in his recent accomplishments! He enjoys his sessions and the support he gets from Eric. He is not only a great trainer, he is a great mentor! Thank you Eric!

"Couldn't ask for a better trainer. Period."
What an amazing and positive influence Eric has made on our son, Luke! Not only is Luke noticing a difference in his physical appearance and endurance on the soccer pitch, he is making healthier choices in the kitchen as well as ordering out. It means so much to the kids (and their parents) to see his face in the stands supporting them and cheering them on outside of training! Couldn’t ask for a better trainer, period.

"...our son made huge noticeable strides in strength and conditioning in four short months."
We reached out to Coach Eric at the beginning of the Spring 2023 semester for our Freshman son to begin his fitness education. Grimstong had come highly recommended and after a phone call then a tryout session the hook was set. Eric exceeded our goals and our son made huge noticeable strides in strength and conditioning in four short months. What we didn’t count on was the learning environment and our son finding out the proper ways to workout for speed and agility. He’s very excited to be able to hit the high school weight room and not be a “newby” if you will. We look forward to what the next three years and beyond look like utilizing Coach Eric’s support and program as our son works towards his athletic goals that will take him through his High School years. Highly recommend Grimstrong Fitness and Coach Eric Grimsley. Can’t say enough good things about what he’s doing for the youth in his program.

"His focus on recovery, stretching, and sustainable effort has produced results that I expected to take 2 or 3 times as long."
Eric Grimsley with Grimstrong has my thanks and my enduring endorsement. I was coming off a potentially terminal illness, hadn’t worked out in years, with all of my base strength and fitness eroded. He has been able to begin rebuilding my fitness without leaving me injured or sore to the point of being unable to continue regaining fitness. His focus on recovery, stretching, and sustainable effort has produced results that I expected to take 2 or 3 times as long. Eric even provides individual exercises and guidance to protect areas injured during competitive sports from my younger years. If you are a former athlete who let your “form” slip, a dad with a sedentary job, or someone trying to rebuild following a long period of not being able to exercise – Your next step should be reaching out to Eric to get an assessment of how he can help you achieve your goals. I’m forever grateful for the work he has done with me, and will be a client for life. Thank you, Eric.

"...my resting heart rate and health has improved..."
I enlisted Eric to help me train for the TSC. Not only did his well thought out training plans accomodate my preferred style of training and take me from 71 to 111 snatches in 3 months, but my resting heart rate and health has improved as well. I particularly appreciated his attention to detail and consistent, helpful feedback as the competition approached.

"I came to him with a few extra post-military pounds and he already has me in better shape than when I got out"
I have been training with Eric for 2 months. He is very knowledgable and takes an all-around approach to your health. He can help with your diet, workout regime, flexibility, stress levels and more. His workouts are varied, interesting, and tough. He is not focused on a single type of training but instead tailors each workout to the individual. I came to him with a few extra post-military pounds and he already has me in better shape than when I got out. Whether you are looking for an extra boost to your workouts or to take your first step on the path of a healthy lifestyle, Eric is your guy.

"Eric Grimsley has helped me improve my core strength, functional strength and mobility."
As an endurance athlete, I realized that strength training was a missing element in my training. I found myself often dealing with nagging injuries that kept me from taking my training to the next level. Eric Grimsley has helped me improve my core strength, functional strength and mobility. His training plans are a perfect balance of strength and endurance, which allowed me to work out smarter – not just harder. Since working with Eric I’ve seen my cycling and running form improve, race times improve, and kept those nagging injuries away. Best of all – Eric keeps the workouts fun and informative and always has tips to help you improve. I would recommend Eric to anyone looking to improve their strength and fitness.

"With Eric’s help my results have been great and I feel that I am as strong as I was 20 years ago."
Eric has worked with me as my personal trainer for the past 14 months and in that time he has helped me transform my strength, agility, and stamina.
I was diagnosed with throat cancer at age 60 where the treatment was very successful but very difficult. Because of the radiation treatment to my throat I had to receive all of my food and nutrition through a feeding tube for 5 months and lost 40 pounds which left me weak, tired and unsteady on my feet.
I tried exercising on my own with poor results and then a friend told me about Eric. Eric knew exactly what to do to help me and we came up with a plan. He always explains why we are doing a certain exercise and how it will benefit me. He gives great instructions on how to perform the exercises and how to use the equipment. When I forget something he is very patient in repeating the instruction and getting me back on the right track.
Also very important to me is that when we are having a training session, 100% of his focus is on me. With Eric’s help my results have been great and I feel that I am as strong as I was 20 years ago. I am most grateful to my friend who recommended Eric and that is why I am writing this letter

"My strength increased, my cardiovascular work ability increased and I achieved flexibility long thought to be gone."
I have been training with kettlebells for over 10 years and have always seen and appreciated their value as a training modality. I decided to take the step of getting my SFG and enlisted Eric as my trainer! Under his direction I achieved results. My strength increased, my cardiovascular work ability increased and I achieved flexibility long thought to be gone. His workouts were challenging, varied and we’ll adapted to my goals. He was always motivational and kept me focused. Although I am a competitive martial artist I am also a parent with a family and a full time career and life. Eric was able to integrate training with my already hectic schedule in a way to allow me to progress continually and not be overwhelmed or burn out. With his direction I was able to achieve my SFG on my first attempt!

"He taught me to track my macronutrients and tailored my nutrition approach to go along with the exercise I was doing."
Besides just being an extremely knowledgeable health advocate, Eric brings in original techniques that have strengthened human motions since the dawn of our existence. His focus is not only on the body but also the mind, so he truly can be a life coach as well. Eric helped me from afar as I live in Denver. He taught me to track my macronutrients and tailored my nutrition approach to go along with the exercise I was doing. You won’t find a more dedicated artist to their trade than Eric; he doesn’t just do this for work, he lives GrimStrong.
