WHAT MY CLIENTS HAVE SAID:
Aflie R.
"I trained with Eleni for close to two years, and working with her has honestly been one of the best decisions I have made for my health and fitness. Before Eleni, I had worked with other personal trainers, but she is truly in a league of her own. You can feel right away that she genuinely cares about you and your goals.
From the very beginning, she was deeply invested in my success. She did not just design a program and send me off to do it. She made sure I understood why we were doing what we were doing, checked in on my progress, and held me accountable in the ways that actually matter for real change.
Eleni listens. She pays attention not only to your goals but also to how you feel, what is going on in your life, and what might be getting in your way. She adjusts, supports, and challenges you all at once. She makes every session fun, pushes you past your comfort zone, and somehow makes you laugh through it.
Beyond training, she has helped me build better habits around nutrition and taught me the key pillars of a healthy, balanced lifestyle. I have learned so much from her and grown stronger both physically and mentally.
Eleni is one of those rare people who bring out the best in you. She is professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about helping people succeed. I cannot recommend her enough."

"The private training given by Eleni is, simply put, second to none. Eleni is a consummate and outstanding professional: she is deeply knowledgeable, creative, rigorous, and hard working. On top of this, Eleni is very kind, caring, flexible and patient when needed. Eleni has her client's wellbeing at heart, always, and is constantly focussed on making the client progress in a safe and timely manner. Eleni has pushed me constantly, and I am always impressed by how diligently she keeps track of our training and the clarity of her explanation. Eleni is an inspiration to always go above and beyond, and every session is invariably productive and enjoyable. Training with Eleni is a blessing. Thank you Eleni!"

"I can’t recommend Eleni more highly; I feel very lucky to have found her and to have her as my
trainer. I am over 65, and 2-1/2 years ago I realized I need to have more resistance training/weight-lifting in my exercise routine. I started training with Eleni, and have been amazed at how much stronger I’ve gotten. I am now able to dead lift 155 lbs, and feel healthier and stronger all around. Eleni’s training is excellent in several ways. First, she has undergone extensive training in exercise-related subjects and is very knowledgeable about the human body and musculoskeletal function. I may feel sore after a workout, because she really pushes me to increase my strength, but I’ve never gotten injured. Her knowledge and experience also allows her to modify my session accordingly if I have a particular temporary muscular/connective tissue issue. Second, her manner is very friendly and encouraging but firm, and she succeeds in getting me to do things I didn’t think I would be able to, such as split squats. (I have some arthritis in my knees.) Third, her overall workout plan is carefully thought out ahead of time, which means we make optimal use of our hour together. I’m sure I’m in much better health because of her excellent training, and I have no hesitations in recommending her most enthusiastically."

"When I started training with Eleni, she really met me where I was at – both in life and in terms of my physicality. I had never strength trained before, but she made it feel accessible and fun. She brings an earnest, open energy to each session, and is a super enjoyable person to spend time with. But don’t be fooled… she’s also TOUGH! I appreciate that she brings a no-fuss confidence to her training – both in what she has to teach me and in my ability to perform -- which is motivating! She’s also helped me with some initial nutrition coaching, which has been very informative. I gained nearly 5lbs of muscle and no fat after the first 2 months working with her twice a week. I am a huge fan and highly recommend Eleni, regardless of where you are in your training journey!"

"Eleni and I have been working together for over three years, and in that time she’s completely changed the way I think about fitness. She takes a truly holistic approach, combining training with nutrition guidance, recovery tracking, and a deep understanding of how all of these elements work together to support my long-term health.
I remember after our very first session, she followed up with nutrition tips tailored to exactly what I had said I wanted. That level of thoughtfulness and personalization has been a constant ever since. I wear a Whoop, and Eleni checks in about my recovery and sleep metrics—something that’s helped me make better decisions around rest, training intensity, and fueling my body to get the results I want.
"Our work together has certainly evolved over time. We started with the basics (I had never strength trained before), just building my understanding of how to move confidently in the gym. From there, we moved through defined, focused training blocks: building muscle, cutting fat, and eventually transitioning into more advanced training splits. I travel frequently for work, and flexibility is essential. Eleni has never once made me feel guilty for missed sessions. Rather, we often conduct virtual sessions, or if schedules don’t allow, proactively helps me find local gyms, structures effective workouts with limited equipment, and even helps plan on-the-go meals to stay on track with protein goals. It's obvious in how she programs and can answer questions that Eleni is incredibly knowledgeable about the science and reasoning behind our training, but what sets her apart is the ease with which she applies it to build something clear, relevant, and understandable for me. While learning the 'how' and 'why' were not my top priorities, Eleni has always made sure I understand both - as a result, I feel empowered and informed understanding how I’ve made the progress I have. Of all these things, what I want to highlight the most is how safe and supported I feel working with her. I trust her completely, which has allowed me to push myself further than I ever thought possible. I first started training with the goal of doing a proper push-up. Now, 3+ years and many (hard) sessions later, I'm doing pull ups, plenty of push ups, all kinds of barbell work, working out on vacations (happily), and am proudly the strongest I’ve ever been. Because of her, I’ve avoided injury, improved my mental health, and built lasting habits that make me feel my best. Thank you Eleni!"

"I worked with Eleni as my personal trainer for a little over a year, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. When I first started, I only did running and ab workouts. Strength training felt intimidating and I wasn’t comfortable with equipment or gym environments at all. My background was in organized sports where I always had a coach telling me exactly what to do, so transitioning into a regular gym setting on my own felt confusing and overwhelming.
From our very first conversation, I immediately felt comfortable with Eleni. She was warm, engaging, and asked thoughtful questions that made me feel genuinely heard. She made it easy to open up about hard, personal things, which allowed her to fully understand where I was at and how she can support me moving forward.
We started small, focusing on basic movement patterns and getting comfortable with weights, slowly increasing dumbbells and eventually progressing to barbells, trap bars, and other bars I didn’t know existed. She would record my lifts, show me what needed to be adjusted, explain what “good form” actually looked like, and repeat cues that still live in my head to this day. Some movements came naturally to me, like bench press, but other things — like pull-ups — challenged me both physically and mentally, sometimes to the point where I wanted to cry. And it wasn’t about the pull-up, it was everything else in life that was heavy and showed up in that moment. Eleni recognized that instantly. She comforted me, met me where I was emotionally, paused when I needed to pause, and supported me through it in the gentlest way. But she also didn’t let me quit on myself. She helped me push through my own resistance. She showed up as a friend, not just as my trainer — and I didn’t know how much I needed that until it happened. Eleni is someone who genuinely wants to help people — not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and holistically. She challenges the “why” behind your goals, and supports you in building the body you want… not the one society says you should have. The comfort, support, and trust she brings — especially in moments when you’re scared, frustrated, emotional, or unsure is priceless. She treats every single person as an individual. She remembers the smallest details — things you said in passing, your movement history, what you’re insecure about, how your body responds to certain exercises — and she builds everything around you. When she’s with you, she is 100% focused on you. She develops a plan that actually fits your body, your goals, your mindset, and your current season of life, and she adjusts in real time as she learns more about you. That level of attention and personalization is just who she is. I couldn’t recommend Eleni enough! "

"I have been training with Eleni for over a year now. We started together at Equinox, and I followed her when she started her own business and coaching under her own name. I continue to have a positive experience training with Eleni, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer.
Throughout our time together, Eleni has helped me feel confident and comfortable on the weight floor. She is very encouraging and continues to push me even when I doubt myself. It is evident that Eleni is knowledgeable about weight training as she ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid injuries. Eleni is my number one cheerleader; I love her enthusiasm for fitness and I am always looking forward to our Tuesday one-on-one sessions. "
