What clientsactually say.

I decided to work with Elias after he worked with my sister (post-pregnancy) and my mom (during her cancer treatment).

I have been a vegetarian for as long as I can remember. As I enter my early 40s, I have struggled to lose weight. I have never truly known how to get enough protein in my diet, and was bouncing from one fad workout to the next with no results.

With his guidance, I learned how to properly eat enough protein along with eating a lot more food than I’m used to! I’ve never truly eaten balanced meals and always steered clear of carbs.

I’m seriously so happy with my results. Not only do I feel better overall, but my jeans fit again. I’ve also learned that I don’t need to injure my body with lagree Pilates and intense yoga poses— that gaining muscle can be accomplished with simple weight lifting.

I’m thrilled … and since I love routine and structure, I find the whole program sustainable and something I will continue to apply to my days.

I found myself reaching out to Elias a few months after having my third baby. Now that I had undergone three c-sections, I knew I was done growing my family as pregnancy and surgical births take a great toll on the body. I was ready to invest in my health like I hadn’t before, now that my body was fully my body again.

I had envied the results my older brother (a client of Elias for the past 3 years) was getting from his time being coached. I made contact on social media after hearing Elias speak about how he enjoys working with a “basic client” (meaning someone who doesn’t have a laundry list of health issues). My first thought was - That’s me! This is as good of a time as any…

I reached out knowing I would be in good hands and this would be the best path to get the results I’d been ready to chase. Now being a family of five, on a single income, in the process of buying a home, I knew I wouldn’t be able to financially commit long term. Being upfront about this from the start, Elias was gracious and willing to work with me any way he could to make our working relationship happen.

In my time working with Elias he has displayed true mastery at his craft. If you are willing to let him be the artist he will mold you like clay. He took me from having a “mom bod” to “granite.” His words, not mine. But words I am proud to embody! I love that if you don’t know me you can’t tell I’m currently a mom of three young boys, all born at 9 plus pounds, while currently nursing my third baby.

I lost a total of 18lbs in the course of 10 weeks while breastfeeding. One apprehension I faced was my supply dipping, but to my pleasant surprise it never did. A showcase of how skilled Elias is in understanding what is needed for the body to function properly while achieving goals at the same time.

Elias has been there for every question, concern, my evolving goals, troubleshooting, you name it. Just in the past 4 months while working with Elias I not only lost the baby weight, I’ve also gained a better understanding on my personal daily nutrition, training, and how I should be feeling in my body while everything is working optimally. That is valuable information I can take with me long term.

I hope to be fortunate enough to work with Elias again in the coming years as my body/ hormones shift and goals change. He is a wealth of knowledge, has an incredible eye for detail, and speaks only from a place of truth. Trust me when I say he is someone you want in your corner fighting along side you when it comes to your health.

Sincerest regards from a “basic client” ;)

This testimonial is long overdue! I’ve been working with Coach E now for over a year and my transformation has been incredible. I’m a 58-year-old Plastic Surgeon working in an industry where everyone wants to look their best and be a better, younger-looking version of themselves. I always considered myself healthy by regularly working out and eating what I thought was a healthy diet. However, I never reached that defined look I was striving to achieve. I felt I needed help reaching my fitness goals and that’s when I started with Coach E. Following Coach E’s nutrition plan was an adjustment at first. I didn’t believe I could eat this much food and get into better shape! Coach guided me every step of the way. He taught me how to eat more cleanly and much healthier than I ever had before. The new plan gave me more vitality and a clearer head. With more sleep and no unhealthy choices I had more energy that lasted throughout my very busy days. With Coach’s workout routines I gained strength and a more sculpted appearance. As a plastic Surgeon I want my patients to be healthy. A healthy body recovers and heals faster. Plastic Surgery can give good results but adding a combination of good nutrition, physical activity, and a healthy lifestyle can make the results even better. Trust Coach E to help you eat the right foods and allow you to take control of your nutrition and achieve a level of fitness and well-being like never before. I am personally now in the best shape of my life thanks to Coach E! He’s the best!!

The first time that I had even heard about Coach Elias is when my Dad found out about his work through a mutual coworker who was in his nutrition/training program. From the client’s own words in blunt terms, he considered Coach Elias to be a hard ass/asshole that knew his craft inside and out. That he did not take any excuses from his clients, especially when he does not work with them in person. It would require more self-discipline and more than motivation to work with him via email, text and phone calls. I will admit that I had hesitations to even apply to work with him, because I did not know if I was even ready, despite being completely dissatisfied and discontent with my overall health and well-being at that period of my life. Even when I was already thinking about hiring a nutritionist to help me get back on track in controlling my weight. I was always afraid to take that leap due to fear of failure and change. Even though, I do work in the medical field and have the knowledge of basic nutrition, I could not do it on my own. If anything, I could honestly say that I was hiding myself behind my weight of 185 lbs. (the heaviest that I had ever been in 2021 and the start of 2022). I was slowly destroying myself with stress eating and allow my already low self-confidence to deplete further with each pound I gained that year. As a new graduate nurse, my anxiety and nonstop stress/emotional eating were at the all-time high that year. At that point, I no longer recognized myself and only saw the defeated little girl that continued to hide behind the shadows of not just her weight, but her own personal demons and childhood traumas. That constantly kept her from believing in herself. Demons that constantly told lies of self-doubt, not being worthy, always feeling not seen or heard, being afraid to be vulnerable, and not believing that she is not just beautiful inside, but outside as well even with the weight. I can say that I allowed my job and school education overtake my health, personal self-worth and become my sole identity to hide the realities that I felt ashamed of my outer appearance and low self-esteem. It went to the point of even being afraid to show my body and constantly hide behind my clothes. I hated to take photos and avoided full body pictures/selfies. I felt too self-conscious and found it difficult to even think about having romantic relationships when I could not even love myself. It was not until the end of October 2022, I had a breakdown conversation with a friend that finally broke down the first set of walls that kept me jailed in with the demons and childhood traumas. After that night, I started to stop believing the lies that I kept holding onto as the complete truths. I made slow changes and some life decisions that I made me no longer want to live the life that I was currently living. I found my value within myself and refused to let my personal demons to continue defining the life I should live. I started fighting for myself and putting myself first. In January 2022, I finally took the leap in applying to work with Coach Elias. LOL I still have the first messages and saw that yes, he was blunt, but he had patience with me from the beginning. Especially after I gave my full trust in the process and admitted to him that I was scared of what was to come. Let me tell you now, that I have not been an easy client to work with due to my crazy schedule as initially a traveling Nurse (now an ER Nurse who is staying in one place for a while) who works nights, which Coach Elias was honest and said that it would make the process a little more difficult, but still possible as long as I followed his instructions and trusted him. Our first initial start date was February 13 th and it could have been the worse start date since I was in the process of moving from North Dakota to Nevada in less than 2 weeks. However, I did not give any excuses to Coach Elias, because I knew that I was not the only one that wanted to work with him. He has a waiting-list and I knew that he takes his time seriously. If I could not take his time seriously then, I do not think that I would be where I am now. I say this whole heartedly that I have no regrets since that start date. Coach Elias was and still determined to keep me on track even when I had to miss meals due to working nights or was on the road traveling between assignments. I can remember the ups and downs when I felt that a 0.1 lbs weight loss was hardly process, but in his eyes, we were right on track or needed to up our game plan even more. Coach Elias is precise in his work and very detailed oriented. He kept me accountable even when I had a worse weekly check in and let work/family drama over cloud me. Coach Elias went out of his way to check on me emotionally by asking what was wrong and telling me to just breathe, then get back on track. Simple and straight forward, yet powerful because he knew exactly what would get me back to focus and drown out the other’s voices and inside voices in my head. Coach Elias truly cares for every client, and I can see it through his work/actions even when sometimes we had two check-ins in one week. That is something that no nutritionist that I heard would do for a client, which shows how much effort and passion that Coach Elias puts into his client’s journey. He sees his clients as more than just another paycheck to add onto his bank account. Coach Elias sees past what his clients could see for themselves and what gift that they hidden within themselves. He did with me from the start and continues to now. I can honestly say that Coach Elias has brought the inner Michelle that was hidden to surface and shine brighter than ever before. I will admit that I found myself in shock of what I see in the mirror and find the inner strength that I did not realize I hold. He has taught me more than nutrition and disciple in this new lifestyle. Coach Elias has given me at least three life lessons: Boundaries with family, friends, and coworkers; the power of saying no; and letting go to people/things that no longer serve you. Sadly, I did have to make some hard choices during this journey. Such as putting my foot down when family thought I was taking my diet plan too extreme or when I had made the decision to let go of friendships that no longer served purpose in my life. In one year, I have gained my better self-confidence, louder inner/outer voice, and discipline in self-care physically and emotionally. When I look back to the photos of the old me, I find myself crying and finding the compassion that I lacked in the past for myself. I found that I was so unkind to the old me, and now I appreciate her for having the courage to finally take a leap of faith to get where I am now. The old me in those photos is still beautiful inside and out. The current me now is just freer and finally discovering my full potential. I am constantly growing each day, while slowly killing and battling off each inner demon, one by one. If you are still in doubt and afraid to take this chance, just breathe and consider the alternatives of what could go right if you took that leap with Coach Elias? I have and would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I would take more photos and enjoy the process even more, especially when Coach Elias pushes past my own personal goal. I was content at 130 lbs, but LOL Coach Elias pushed for 115 lbs. I was able to hit 112 lbs. Yes, the results in the numbers are far impressive and fantastic, but I am living far better than I have before (stronger emotionally, mentally, and physically). Thank you, Coach Elias for taking me out of the shadows and getting me to shine brighter than I have in my life.

It's hard to put into words what Elias means to me, but I'll do my best. I engaged Elias in late January of 2020. My goals at the onset were modest: I wanted to improve how I felt mentally/emotionally, and I wanted to lose some weight. I knew of Elias through Instagram - someone I follow made a post about improving their health by working with Elias, so I started following him and getting familiar with what he does. The tipping point came when Elias started working out at the same gym as me. I could see first-hand the intensity and focus with which he trained, and I had all I needed at that point to know he would be the right fit for me. Or so I thought.

During my initial consultation, Elias was able to tell me things about myself that I never shared, simply from looking at my blood panel. He came up with a plan that was very simple. He outlined what to eat, what supplements to take, and when. Absolutely no guess work on my part - it was all laid out and all I had to do was follow directions.

After a few weeks I noticed immediate results. My resting heart rate dropped by 9 BPM, my sleep quality improved, my focus and mental clarity improved (I especially noticed this at work) and my training and recovery were through the roof. With each check-in, I could see myself improving. At the time with each check-in I would think "Man, this is great, I've never looked this good before" - and each week thereafter it was even better. Elias was there along the way to answer my texts/calls/emails (within seconds), and to proactively reach out when things were tough, always at the right time.

I have high standards and usually find myself displeased with the lack of effort or care I see when I purchase a service, whether it be someone working on my car, working on my home, etc. So I was especially concerned that I would hire someone with impeccable credentials and work ethic if they were controlling my health. Elias blew those expectations out of the water completely. I trust Elias implicitly. I know that when he tells me to do something, or gives me advice, it's right. No questions asked. Elias is more than my coach - he's my brother - and will be for life. Working with Elias was the best decision I have ever made. I only wish I had made it sooner.

When I first met Elias I was completely lost and depressed. I had gained 25lbs over the course of a year. The sad part is, that was normal for me. I struggled with yo-yo dieting. Over the past 10 years, I gained and lost the same 20-30lbs cyclically. I was an emotional eater.

At that point in my life, I wanted to lose weight AGAIN. However, I had not one ounce of “motivation” in me to start. I first heard of Elias at a business conference I attended (of all places). Looking back, this was God’s way of answering my prayers. I decided to take a leap of faith, and little did I know this man would completely change my life!

Losing weight was just a byproduct of working with Elias. Elias has totally transformed my health, my body, and my attitude towards myself. I have now been working with Elias for 15 months. I have far surpassed any health and physical goal I originally set for myself. Elias continues to push me; he sets new goals that I would never even dream of. I am now down 40lbs. I went from trying to fit into a size 14 (the seams were ripping), to now a size 4!

Not only has Elias helped me with my physical health, he has helped me address and overcome emotional issues as well. With Elias by my side, I can honestly say with no hesitation, I will never gain that weight back again! Elias is more than a health coach. He is my mentor, he is my life coach, he is my family. I will be working with Elias for the rest of my life.

I'm a stay at home Mom with a husband and 2 children. Prior to working with Coach E, I'd put my family's needs before mine. I let myself go, not loving myself or focusing on my wellbeing...so I decided to hire him. His clients' results on instagram were impressive and I hoped he could help me get fit. Coach E layed out the meal plans and the workouts so easily, there wasn't room for failure or excuses. He always held me accountable and checked in to monitor my progress. He was firm and intimidating but that kept me on track. I tend to give up on myself after a few weeks, so I appreciated the tough love. I struggled with the meal plans at first because I was used to eating my children's leftovers or fast food. After about 2 weeks my body started adjusting, I no longer craved fast food and I really enjoyed prepping my meals. When I started training, I felt out of my element because I hadn't weight trained much, just cardio classes at the gym. I now walk in confidently and execute the workouts like a pro. I did the 12-week program and lost 8 pounds, lost 3.5 inches off my waist and my arms and legs are toned and defined which is exactly what I wanted to achieve. Thanks to Coach E's assistance, I have built a habit of going to the gym consistently and I learned that nutrition is priority when it comes to getting results. My husband inspired and nudged me to invest in myself and work with Coach E. I am so happy he has supported me on this journey. I feel so confident in myself and I've learned to set boundaries to focus on myself first. Coach E, thank you again for working with me and helping change my life.

Since I can remember I have been in search of the best programs, trainers and resources to assist me in being at my peak performance. I also have been fortunate to have access to almost any of those individuals or resources along the way and have had what I thought was good success in getting healthy. I however didn’t know what my true potential was until I started working with Elias. I was excited about a holistic program that combined diet and training but didn’t realize the best part of what I was getting… a partner. The methodology and customization behind the program are extremely effective but having someone who truly cares about your success and passionately works with you is the biggest game changer. I can’t say enough about the shape I am in now beginning with my mental clarity, energy level and happiness overall. Elias is a rare individual who knows the most effective way to get you to your peak potential but more importantly pushes you to get there and supports you every step of the way. I can’t wait to see what the next year brings working together.

Coach Elias and I started out as friends and I’ve been following his work with past clients, noticing the unbelievable results. I asked myself “why can’t I do that too?” as I’ve been lifting (sometimes foolishly) and putting in a lot of cardio time (also foolishly) with no guidance. My diet at first was the yo-yo diet where I just followed different trending diet plans until I saw little progress, and was feeling sluggish, lethargic and just overall negatively about life amid the pandemic.

Then I decided to meet with Coach E and everything fell into place from the start: my nutrition and training plans were very detailed/structured to fit my goal of losing fat and in a short amount of time, I started to see dramatic results. His style is direct, disciplined, and honest, well worth the investment, and life-changing. Because of his guidance and planning, I feel balanced, energetic, and almost a new person.

If you’re looking to change your life, look and feel your best, and are committed to working towards those goals daily then Natural Nutrition, Coach Elias is the BEST guide and partner to have by your side.

WOW. No other words to describe my experience working with Elias than WOW. I spent two years of my life dedicated to improving myself from the inside out which has made me feel the best, and ultimately look my very best. Elias was in constant communication with me throughout our entire journey together changing my food weekly, editing my supplements, changing my workouts you name it. He truly cares about you as a person and a client throughout your entire journey together. Although I will say, the journey certainly wasn't easy, but Elias was always there to get me back on track and ensure we continued to make progress. I encourage anyone considering hiring him to invest in yourself and truly trust him throughout your entire journey. When you trust him, he will guide you down the best path possible I promise you. Yes, he is expensive, but I can't stress enough how well worth the money he is and honestly the best investment I have ever made was partnering with Elias! Nearly 50 pounds down, hormones in check, gut re-balanced, I have become a whole new woman and I can't thank Elias enough!

This is a long overdue testimonial I wanted to share. Thanks for all that you do.

Working with Elias has been one of the most transformative decisions of my life. Four years ago, he helped me lose weight, get healthy, and rebuild my entire relationship with food, discipline, and my body. The physical results were incredible, but what stood out most was how he fixed things from the inside out, reprogramming my body to work more efficiently, naturally, and sustainably.

That’s why I came back to him years later. Elias doesn’t rely on shortcuts or quick fixes. He teaches your body how to function at its best. He looks at bloodwork, hormones, energy, digestion, cravings, all the things most people ignore, and he resets them in a way that feels balanced and doable.

And when you slip, he doesn’t judge. He guides you back and gives you the tools to regain control. His care is genuine, his approach is scientific and natural, and his results last.

If you want a coach who can transform your health at the core, not just how you look on the scale, Elias is the person you want in your corner.

Cancer Free in Three Months

My father was diagnosed with Stage III muscle invasive bladder cancer, an aggressive form known to spread microscopically and rapidly. We hired Elias at the end of November around Thanksgiving. From day one, my dad executed the plan with absolute precision. He repeatedly said he felt healthier than he ever had in his life. Everyone around us was shocked at how well he was doing and continues to do. The process was meticulous. Every variable mattered. My dad followed each step exactly as instructed.

Elias checked in with us every single day. He was calm, confident, and unwavering. From the beginning, he told us my dad would be cancer free at his three month scan. Three months later, the scan came back clear. To confirm, we proceeded with a scope and biopsy. No cancer cells were found in his bladder. His lymph nodes were clear. Cancer free. We continue to work with Elias to ensure my dad stays that way.

This was one of the most difficult seasons of our lives. I am sharing this because people need to know there is a way to fight cancer. It requires discipline. It requires precision. It requires effort. But it can be done.

I started working with Elias in March 2023. I had spent the previous year moving to a new city... leaving all my family and friends, but moving to be with my fiancé. Of course it was special and still remains the best decision I've ever made, but when I lost my sense of community I lost a bit of myself for a while. I stopped going to the gym as much, very little energy and desire to take care of myself. I was eating whatever I wanted and became so sluggish and exhausted.

In March I decided to bug my fiancé for his coach's email and start putting my health first again. Working with Elias has hands down been the best decision of my life. I started feeling like myself again and prioritizing my health... because when I did that, I saw my true happiness shine. I feel more healthy, both inside and out, than I ever have before.

Elias isn't a coach that you check in with once a quarter. I've used those coaches and bought countless online training courses. Elias will hold you accountable, as he should. You pay for a coach for a reason and with that, I'd recommend elias to anyone :)

At almost 40 years old, I had never been on a diet or worked out a day in my life. Having a debilitating disease since birth left me with severe physical limitations. During COVID, I packed on a lot of weight for the first time ever. I chalked it up to turning 40, this would be my new normal. But I was miserable. Out of desperation, I turned to Elias. He was compassionate yet direct. Tough but fair. He told me if I trusted and did exactly as he instructed, I would not only lose the weight, but feel better on the inside. Elias was able to drastically reduce my body's inflammation. I found myself not nearly as sore or tired throughout the days and my weekly headaches were gone! Each week I continued to progress and before long, had exceeded my weight loss goal. Elias gave me back my confidence and pushed my body to levels I didn't think possible. I will carry his teachings and friendship with me for the rest of my life and am eternally grateful. I encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and give this a try. With the proper coaching and a determined attitude, anything is possible. Thank you Elias!

If you have not read The Secret Garden as an adult I highly recommend it.

I am Colin in this story. For a decade of my life I have struggled with Autoimmune Diseases and was kept sick by doctors and admittedly myself.

However, with wisdom and guidance from others, proper food, exercise and getting outside. I am living and feeling my best ever!

Elias is kind of like Dickon in this story, providing help, guidance, directness, calm and ultimately pointing the way to healing. If I will just trust, participate, be disciplined and stay focused.

I have never doubted that Elias has had my best in mind at every turn. He has had to educate me again and again that what is good for some is not good for me. Additionally, in his way he has insisted that I quite degrading and berating myself and when I did… “When new beautiful thoughts began to push out the old hideous ones, life began to come back to him, his blood ran healthily through his veins and strength poured into him like a flood.” - The Secret Garden

I will never again underestimate the need for wise counsel…trust me you need Elias. There is no way to accomplish your health goals without him!

Ben and I (Julia) started using Elias exactly a year ago together. Our wedding was a year out but we wanted to prepare ourselves mentally and physically from the inside out in the best way possible.

Working with Elias has changed our lives in the best way possible. It's brought us closer together and made us more supportive of one another's ambitions and goals. It tests you in the best ways possible. Our biggest advice for anyone looking to start working with Elias is trust the process, don't think, just do. It will make it so much easier for you physically and mentally.

We just left our wedding weekend in Tulum that we spend the past year preparing for and have never felt better. We were energized, physically felt amazing, and even wanted to continue working out and eating well on vacation ;) most people may think that was the end point with Elias for us, but it's actually just the begging and we cannot wait to continue this journey together :) We want to be sure to have ourselves in the best health and shape as we start to think about having a family one day and preparing for that. If you are considering starting with Elias, don't think, just do it :)

I have been working with Elias for 3-4 years and I will say that he is someone who is passionate about his profession. He is a coach that tells you what you need to hear and pushes you to become the very best version of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. His coaching style is very straightforward and I believe that when it comes to developing and restoring one’s body comp that this is the best approach. He is very responsive snd expects your communication to be on point. We are paying for a professional service and he expects us to be professionals in our approach as well. My check in emails may not always be perfect but my check ins are always on time. By doing this, it allows Elias to make adjustments that will help get my body in it’s optimal state. The hardest part about being on Coach E’s nutrition is that you will get A LOT of food and it can be hard to eat it all. (This is not an issue!)

For anyone looking to work with Coach E I will leave you with three key components to your success with him:

Be coachable.

Put in the effort (meal prep, schedule gym time)

Start with the end in mind (12 month vs 12 weeks)

I found Elias through a co-worker and at the time was looking for a coach to help my son with his high school body building competition. The results my friends and co workers had realized were impressive and I had limited knowledge to help my son with his goal. After the first 4 weeks I was blown away by the transition unfolding before my eyes. Yes he was looking great and well on his way to competing in a few months but it was his focus and discipline that took me by surprise. He was waking up at 5am every day, preparing his own meals, measuring to the gram, timing to the minute and keeping his grades up while contributing more to helping out at home than ever before. He was hitting the gym while I went through my usual routine of eating horrible and comfortable, sedentary lifestyle. The positive change I saw in my son motivated to join Elias and can say the most exciting “results” I have experienced have been a completely different outlook on my health and how much discipline matters. Ashton ended up winning the competition (wasn’t even close) and I now have a new friend and coach that really does care about us. Looking forward to what the holds with Coach E by our side.

I started working with Elias May 1st of this year, right in the heart of the pandemic. It could not have come at a better time for us to cross paths. He’s truly changed my life. I was a solid 50 pounds overweight. Most people can’t look at themselves and admit that, as I could not before we started. I knew I was overweight, but this process has allowed me to evaluate myself from the inside out. My overall health at 42 wasn’t great; I wasn’t sleeping well, I certainly wasn’t eating well or enough, my activity level was low even though I’m a busy mom and thought that I was pretty active. Working with Elias takes extreme dedication, particularly in the beginning, then it becomes a way of life. He gives you the tools and you learn how to make it your own. You have to be all in and trust me he will never let you forget that. But it’s not about just being all in for 12 or 24 weeks, it’s about being in for life. I’m studying to be a nurse and I know now that I can be the best nurse possible for my patients showing them a real life example of health. I’m in my 15th week with Elias and I’m just getting started!

Invest in yourself and these lifelong habits!

I have competed in two bodybuilding preps for bikini in the last three years and with the guidance of Coach E, I cannot wait to get my body on stage again. Since January, I have lost 13 pounds working with him for both nutrition and training goals. I feel amazing shedding this weight in only 12 weeks. I never felt like I was given a cookie-cutter plan like my previous coaches and I certainly never felt like I was 1 in 1000. Coach E has listened to me, he's tailored my plan and made this journey incredibly easy to follow. There were days where I felt stressed and Coach E picked up the phone for a reality check and reminded me to do less and not overwork myself. His kindness and generosity of his time have since resonated with me.

After 12 weeks of working with Coach E, I am blown away not only by my physical results but by my mental health too. I am confident in my personal and work life again and developing these lifestyle habits has benefited me so much coming out of a pandemic.

Results don't lie! I am looking forward to continuing this journey and signed on this weekend to work with Coach E for a full year.

51-year-old John came to me in May 2018. He is a type-2 diabetic, living on 14 forms of medication with little to no hope of long term survival. His health was rapidly declining. The world was passing him by daily and he was becoming worse as each day followed. His condition was much worse than I can explain. Over the last year and a half, I have committed to putting together my best work in helping this outstanding gentleman.

He trusted me. The rest is history.

Today, John Harb is on a couple of forms of meds, 1 being the insulin, which he has to be on. All the other garbage medication is gone. Training 3-4x per week; eating 4-5x per day, and in better shape than his earlier years.

The message? Hire a coach who understands. Trust them. Believe in your abilities. And most importantly - DO NOT QUIT.

The road has been challenging. There were days I was waiting for the call where he would tell me he was finished. Never though, not in this lifetime. This is Uncle John. I love this man. When the world doubted him, he never doubted himself. Today, he is better than people in their 30’s. Why? Because he chooses to be.

PS - He will come off insulin in 2020, and 100% medication-Free

When I began working with Elias, he told me that it would be a journey with highs and lows. The highs: I’m down 60+ pounds, I’ve maintained discipline I never knew was possible for me which in turn has built my self confidence and showed me that I can demand more out of myself and life. The lows: losing that much weight is a game changer, you learn parts of yourself that were hidden for a long time, you lose the emotional crutches of food and alcohol. The road can feel lonely when friends and family don’t understand the choices you make and try to convince you that one cheat meal won’t hurt. And then you shock them (and yourself) with your discipline. It’s a long journey to lose this much weight in a healthy way. Elias always makes me feel like I’m a priority. Will celebrate the wins and tell me to be kinder to myself. But he’s also there for all the ups & downs as I navigate this new person I’m becoming. If you want to change your life, are tired of your excuses, want a well laid out plan in which all you need to do is execute, don’t think twice, don’t hesitate, just do it and work with Elias. Believe in yourself that you can do it.

I had been diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis, a rare autoimmune condition involving damage to the biliary tract within the liver. This condition offers no conventional treatment in modern medicine. Ultimately, the disease led to end stage liver failure. I was fatigued, chronically itchy, and jaundice. Meanwhile, I was in the midst of completing medical residency. I had worked so hard studying for so many years and was forced to reassess my goals. Fortunately, my saint of a brother donated half of his liver to me, which allowed me to complete my training. I feel so fortunate to have a second chance at life. With this newly found perspective, I sought out to prioritize my health. If there was something within my control, I’d do it. I began working with Elias a little over a year after my transplant. In retrospect, this was the best decision I’ve ever made. While my labs had significantly improved since my transplant, I was amazed to see the ongoing progress that was made by correcting my nutrition with Elias. Going through a life threatening illness taught me that we all need support. I was always a go-getter and overly independent. And while those things may still be true, I’m way more successful since I’ve leaned into sincere, honest support. The rewards of working with Elias are not only physical. He truly leads with integrity.

Just wanted to say thank you for all you've done. It has truly been a transformative experience working with you. I was transformed in both body and mind, and I achieved things I never knew how to achieve on my own. Aside from becoming physically fit, which is a huge benefit in itself, my posture improved, my cycle improved, my mood balanced out, random headaches and body aches disappeared, my bloating disappeared, and my confidence skyrocketed.

I have never come across a coach like you. Your experience, vast knowledge, discipline, and high standards are what make your clients succeed. And you care about your clients' success as if it's your own. You are truly one of a kind and it was a blessing to have found you. You have made a huge change in my life and I know you will continue to make changes in my relatives' lives as well.

I keep thinking to myself... "how am I going to live without coach?!" I feel like a lost duckling without it's mother. I don't know how to get back to life without your guidance lol! I'm continuing the healthy lifestyle, but I'm sure I'll be back, especially when it's time to have kids.

You are a miracle worker, and we are so grateful for you! It has been great working with you. Thank you again for all you have done.

All the best!

I started working with Elias 7 months ago and the progress we've made has been incredible. At the end of 2023 I decided to get off TRT, which I had been on for the previous 5 years straight, so I was going through some major hormonal issues when we started a couple months later.

Elias truly cares for his clients and is not afraid to push them to their full potential. His methods are not easy and there is no magic pill he gives you that makes change happen over night. He requires a high level of focus, dedication and consistency. At first I was slightly resistant to his methods due to living a bodybuilding lifestyle for years and being used to doing things certain ways. Once I got to the point to fully trust and follow Elias' plan, I started achieving the physique I thought was possible when I initially got off TRT.

After months of hard work, consistency, and learning more about myself, I feel and look the best I ever had. My hormones are back on track, gut health is optimal, physique on point, and mobility at an all time high. Working with Elias is not easy but 1000% worth it.

Thank you, Elias. I'm grateful to have you in my life not only as my coach, but as my friend. Excited to see what the future has in store for us.

From the moment I began my fitness journey under his guidance, I knew I had found a consummate professional who would help me achieve my goals.

Coach Elias’s (=Coach E) ability to inspire is unparalleled. His passion for fitness and commitment to his clients is evident in every session and/or check-in. He possesses an innate ability to motivate and push individuals beyond their perceived limits. With his unwavering support and encouragement, I discovered newfound strength and determination within myself that I never knew existed.

One aspect that sets Coach E apart is his unique blend of tough love and understanding. He challenges you to push harder, to strive for more, and to overcome obstacles with unwavering determination. Yet, amidst the intensity, he remains incredibly kind and empathetic. He understands that everyone has their own journey and treats each client with the utmost respect and compassion.

Under Coach E's guidance, I have witnessed remarkable transformations in both my physical fitness and mental well-being. His nutritional and training methods are well-rounded and tailored to individual needs, ensuring maximum results and overall improvement.

I am immensely grateful for Coach E's unwavering dedication and commitment to my success. Thanks to his guidance, I have surpassed my initial goals and continue to set new ones.

If you are seeking a fitness and wellness coach who is not only knowledgeable and inspiring but also genuinely cares about your progress, I wholeheartedly recommend Coach E!

My wife and I were looking for a health and fitness coach that would drive the results we wanted – back in shape, feel good, and to look good with our shirt off. We spoke with a number of coaches, many who wanted to provide macros and basic fitness coaching. When we spoke with Elias, he stated that he would provide supplementation, a fitness program, and most important to us, a full meal plan; we didn’t want to guess on food prep – the meal plan was and still is an incredible differentiator for our success. His program also includes near weekly check-ins – he will hold you accountable! He was enthusiastic and understood where we were and where we wanted to go. His only ask was that we follow his instructions and be accountable to ourselves and him. Elias’ ability to push his clients to succeed is evident in the check-ins – I wanted to succeed for myself, but I also was driven to succeed by my desire to not disappoint him. He drives you to want to perform! Working with Elias was nothing short of transformative. I am the fittest and healthiest I have ever been, both mentally and physically. He is the real deal. If you are serious about making a lifestyle change and getting in the best shape of your life – Elias is the coach for you. Follow the damn plan and you will succeed

Working with Elias Ghazoul - aka Coach E - my Health Coach / Functional Practitioner / Fitness Coach, has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and overall well-being. When I first spoke with him over the phone, I was dealing with a major health issue which I really wanted to overcome – but I didn’t know where to start or how to move forward.

From day one, he took the time to truly understand my situation. He created a customized plan that included my workouts, supplements, and diet—all tailored specifically to my body, needs, and goals. What makes him stand out is not just his knowledge, but his ongoing commitment. Every week, I send him my progress reports, and without fail, he reviews them thoroughly and adjusts my plan accordingly. His attention to detail and consistent support have kept me accountable and motivated.

Thanks to his expert guidance, I’ve lost 25 pounds, and more importantly, I feel like myself again—stronger, healthier, and more in control of my body and mind. This transformation wasn’t just physical; it’s been emotional and mental as well. I now feel empowered to make healthier choices and have a much better understanding of what my body needs.

I’m incredibly grateful for Coach E and his dedication to helping me reach my goals. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, takes a holistic approach, and guides you every step of the way, I can’t recommend him enough.

My relationship with weight loss has always been a struggle. Crash diets, juicing, Weight Watchers, you name it, I have tried it. I swore to my husband I would never have Elias coach me. That was before I was so sick of the way I felt and looked, that I took a leap of faith and gave him a try. I am so glad I did. He helped me achieve more in my weight loss journey than I have ever been able to on my own. For anyone who is struggling to lose weight and feels like they aren’t getting anywhere, Elias is for you. He is a magician when it comes to helping you shed the pounds. He is dedicated and consistent. He will keep you on track and remind you why you are bettering yourself, but also shows you grace when you need it most. He has become part of my family and I am so grateful that he helped me get my confidence back. I still have a long way to go, but I know that Elias will always be there to tweak my plan and help me get to my goal weight. His knowledge is unfounded, his custom plans are well thought out and he spends time making sure that you are making progress. He is worth every cent, because there is literally no one else in this world that can do what he does, as good as he does it. And that is the truth.

I began working with Elias in January 2021, specifically with the objective of losing weight for my wedding later that year. Not only did the weight come off, but I found myself feeling the best I had - mood, mental clarity, management of anxiety, and overall energy… you name it. Additionally, as someone who is a type A and thrives off structure and routine, I’ve found it helps me across all areas of my life, balancing family, work, and personal well-being / self care.

While I had achieved the initial goal I set out to when enlisting Elias as a coach, I continued my work with him, and will be going on our 5th year together come January 2026. The milestones we have reached are truly impressive, including optimized physiology and hormones which made way for two very healthy pregnancies and subsequent postpartum recoveries - not only did I benefit, but my two children reaped the benefits of prenatal nutrition / intake and through breastfeeding. They both were full term, with outstanding Apgar scores, as well as very healthy appetites and growth progressions.

My body has changed a lot over the course of the last (nearly) 5 years, and his attention to detail, precision, and genuine care for his clients allow for continued improvement to be the best physical version of yourself over time. Couldn’t recommend him enough - it’s not easy nor fun, but it’s worth the money and time you’ll invest to feel the outcomes on the other side.

My wife and I contacted Elias after seeing the results of some friends. Our initial mindset was “great we can lose some weight”. After the first phone consultation we quickly realized Elias wasn’t providing a weight loss program, this was a lifestyle change and losing weight was just a small portion. After that call I knew we needed to move forward. I have always been a relatively skinny guy with a good metabolism, but as time has gone on I started to not only put on some weight but I struggled with more issues then I realized from a bad back, neck pain, poor diet, poor sleep, and the list goes on. Within 2-3 weeks of working with Elias I was not only seeing physical results but every part of me felt better. Elias truly digs into every aspect of your health and pushes you to be better. He checks in regularly, not to see if you lost a pound, but because he truly cares about you, how you are feeling that day, how your body is reacting to changes. I never imagined in just 12 weeks that I would see the results that Elias helped me achieve. I have no doubt that Elias has put my wife and I on a path that will help us live a better life and be able to enjoy each day that much more. Working with Elias was one of the best decisions we ever made and I am excited to continue this journey with him!

After having 3 children, life became crazy busy. I was chasing around 3 kids, eating their leftovers, working out and not taking care of myself. I was getting headaches daily and feeling very lethargic. I wasn't feeling good about how I looked and was starting to feel depressed. Thankfully, Sara Amberg posted a picture of her amazing transformation and that's when I knew I needed a change. Sara introduced me to Elias and I will be forever grateful for my healthier and happier life. My results came from following the nutrition and training Elias provided for me. He checked in on me, made any necessary changes after my 5 day check-in to help me be the best I could be. Thanks to Elias I have learned so much about my body, how it works and what I need to fuel it so I can achieve my goals. My mindset has changed and my body now craves the food I eat, my headaches have gone away, and my energy is through the roof. Elias is an AWESOME coach who knows how to keep you motivated, keep you in check (on those hard days), believes in you and teaches you to believe in yourself. If you're ready to make a lifestyle change and don't know where to start, I recommend contacting Elias. You will see results and you will love the new you! All you need is motivation to get started and in the words of Elias, "discipline is what keeps you on top forever!"

Where do I start. Before Coach E, I was on prescriptions for 13 years, had a bleeding ulcer , became allergic to everything and my lower stomach was so inflamed and extremely sensitive to touch. Then I started working In the club/service industry and started going on fad diet, trends and bad habits cause all my co -workers were extremely thin and drank like a fish every weekend ( not realizing how bad their health was yet). I became addicted to adderall, spent thousands on diet pills, “healthy” food ( really bunch of chemicals), waist training , skinny teas , etc. I felt like crap, my skin was crap, I was super emotional. Finally I started working with Elias and WOW WOW WOW . For the first time in years I can eat without my stomach hurting. Now I’m medication free , no more popping adderall In bed to get up. My skin cleared up and I have so much more energy. Elias helped me realize my health was way more important than focusing on the scale. Now I’m able to look at people on these fad diets or bad habits and realize how much better off I am and especially in the long run. When I’m 40, I won’t be looking like crap like all these people. It’s defiantly not easy, much discipline. Elias helps keep me structured. So now when I go to the grocery store I buy exactly what he tells me, which saves me tons of money and time. Long story short , listen to Elias and your LIFE will change .

With a busy law practice, and full time family and kids, life was hitting me from all sides. I knew what I wanted - lose weight, get in shape. Really I just wanted to feel better, but just when I thought I was making progress, something else got in my way.

When I started with Coach Elias three months ago, I had my doubts. Really I didn’t know what to expect but he told me to just trust him. If I did that, there was no limit to what we could accomplish together. He was absolutely right, and then some. Yes I lost weight, almost 20 pounds, but Coach Elias helped me change my body and my mindset. Don’t get me wrong. Physically, I feel so much better, and my doctors think it’s the best thing I have done for myself in years. But just as big is what Coach Elias taught me.

He gave me the advice and accountability to do something that honestly, I didn’t know I could do before I met him. He has helped me understand nutrition and training. I feel stronger and have my confidence back. And along the way, I am having fun showing off the new look that Coach Elias helped me create. Most of all, Coach Elias gave me the tools I need to continue to succeed, to stop the roller coaster ups and downs of weight gains, and to start being the best I can be. I cannot recommend him enough – as along as you are willing to do what he asks you to do. Just trust him.

Changing your life for the better includes getting in the mindset you can’t do it alone. I was trying to lose weight alone, but I didn’t have the right people in my life to hold me accountable or support. Elias is the perfect person to be that person. I have not been the easiest client, and made mistakes along the way. Elias didn’t fail on me to said he couldn’t do it anymore with me because I wasn’t in it. I wanted to quit so many times but the system and protocol he had in place for me was slow and steady and the results came with time. This is the best decision I have ever made in my life and one of the hardest things I have gone through. I went from a size 14 to 12 the natural way. I know a few people that take the easy way out with the shot to lose weight and that is the worst thing anyone can do. Natural is more effective and not only that but the relationship you have with food is real. It can be really good or really bad. I had a bad relationship and slowly working through it and it put things in perspective. With Elias’s advice, knowledge, and help I know I will get to where he envisions me to be. 2 years and going strong! I highly recommend this services ONLY if you’re in it for the long haul with time and effort put in. This program is not for everyone and I’m glad I made that decision and you will too.

I first worked with Elias back in 2015 and again in 2018, when my focus was mostly on body composition. Even then, his knowledge stood out, but the growth I’ve seen in him since is remarkable! Years later, I was diagnosed with POTS and it began to take over my life and I felt completely defeated. I knew I needed more than surface-level support in which I needed true healing. That’s when I reached back out to Elias, and it was the best decision I could have made.

He crafted a plan that was completely individualized and one that supported my body, not fought against it. Through his nutritional guidance, supplement strategy, and personalized approach, I began to feel like myself again.

Within just nine months, even my cardiologist was blown away by how my overall health had improved which was so dramatic that he asked for Elias’s information to refer his own patients. As much as he desperately wanted to, he couldn’t deny the results as kept asking me “HOW?” I confidently told him that I was stripped down to the cellular level and built back up! Again, still mind blown as he was walking out the door after the visit was over. With teamwork, Elias didn’t just help me improve; he gave me my life back.

For anyone who’s been dismissed, overprescribed, or told “this is just how it is,” don’t take that for answer because please know that real healing exists. Elias sees what others miss. His dedication, intuition, and depth of understanding are rare and because of him, I’m finally living again, not just surviving.

After 15 years of lifting 5+ days a week and messing with bulking, cuttings carbs, keto, bro diets, etc., I only ever got by. In 12 weeks with Coach E, I reached the best I’ve ever been with what seemed like minimal effort - Coach E did all the hard work and decision making for me, no more second guessing my diet! After the first 12 weeks with Coach E, without hesitation, I signed on for another full year. I can tell in 12 short weeks I have picked up life long skills, drive, and discipline and know that 12 more months under this coaching will set me up for life. Personalized training and nutrition is an understatement, I cannot get over the detail and the tweaks I got over the last few months and how effective they all were. There were a few times I was certain I was his only client with the level of care and attention I would get.

If cost is a deterrent for anyone out there, put it out of your mind: it’s the best money you can ever spend on yourself. Beyond that, I found that as I cleaned up my act under Coach E (cutting garbage supplements, Uber eats, restaurants), I literally saved double what I paid for the coaching within the first month or so. It literally pays for itself, you just get the perks of feeling great and looking great.

Sign up. Give it your all and I promise you will be looking for more. Coach E is the best in the business, bar none. One of the nicest, most genuine guys you’ll meet too!

I’ve always been someone who enjoyed being active, not fat, but not in shape either. Just sort of there. After I had my daughter I dropped all the baby weight and fast, but after she turned one I started to gain it back. When I came to Elias I was at my lowest point. I was ashamed of what i looked like, hadn’t bought clothes for myself in a long time, was avoiding friends, in a horrible mental space and depressed. When you look at my before pictures, those aren’t pictures of someone who was drinking or over eating. Actually, I was hardly eating at all. Elias and I started with nutrition only. I loved how direct and precise everything was. After 12 weeks I had lost 10 pounds, but more importantly, the way I felt and viewed myself was improved. I immediately signed up for another 12 weeks adding training. At each check in I delete my photos, because why look behind.. only move forward.

I’m a single mom and a nurse that rotates. Two weeks of every month I only average 2-4 hours of sleep a night. Elias factored all of this in to my plan. Originally I thought i was being selfish for taking time for myself and to workout, but how can i be a good parent if I’m not being good to myself? I’m my child’s role model. So if she sees me hiding, hating my body and not taking care of myself what does that teach? Hiring Elias by far was the best thing I’ve ever done, I’m so grateful. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s worth the struggle.

Hi! My name is Stephanie and I started working with Elias in November of 2023 and am completely hooked!

I’m so grateful to my chiropractic friend who referred me to him. Elias has far exceeded my expectations of what I thought would happen. Aside from the weight loss, my chronic pain is more manageable, and my gut health is the best it’s ever been. I’m even off four medications for allergies, asthma, and anxiety! My kids, friends, students and patients are watching me take better care of myself as I set a new standard for self-care, which is so invaluable.

In all honesty, I agreed to work with him in complete blind faith, and even paid for a session without knowing Elias’ web address or doing a basic Google search. I looked him up after I read that I needed to give him full body physique shots! That’s when I saw his profile picture and did a little “O-M-G-kick-n-scream-dance” out of fear and excitement! I had no idea what I was in for, but I didn’t really care because I wanted to feel the best I could, which is completely what he’s all about. “Keep your head down and stick with the plan!”

The bottom line is that you’re in this position and moment for a reason, so push the fear and emotion aside and be open to change, because most likely what you’re doing isn’t working. It’s okay to let go and be vulnerable and adaptable for the sake of health because you’ll only get better with Elias, not worse. I’d rather pay him for preventative healthcare versus paying hospital and ED bills any day.

We are writing this testimonial as a couple. Both of us had tried different "fad" diets over the years with minimal success. We would lose 5-10 pounds and within a few weeks we would deviate from the "diet" and put the weight back on, and then some. But what we were looking for was more of a lifestyle change. We knew that a diet was not the answer. We needed a nutritional and lifestyle transformation. So, one day we saw friends who literally out of nowhere posted on social media that from January 2020 - June 2020 they lost around 25-30lbs. We both wanted to learn more about what our friends did. Deep down we thought if they could do it, so could we. That's where our journey with Elias began. We signed up with Elias in June 2020 and we both found the success we were looking for.

It is quite amazing that we have never met Elias in person, yet we have a deep connection with him. Through pictures, phone calls, and emails we were able to lock in a nutrition and training program that was tailored to our goals. And even though the first few weeks were tough, we persevered. We both started to see incredible results and the feeling was amazing. Our clothes started to become really big and we even bought new clothes in smaller sizes. Now it seems completely normal to eat lean steak and berries for breakfast. So long Lucky Charms!! We could not imagine our nutrition and lifestyle going back to where we were 6 months ago. This is how we want to live now and thanks to Elias we can.

There are people that are put on this earth to do good and bring good, and that’s exactly what Elias does. At one point I felt so down about myself, unable to lose weight worth noticing or feeling good about. Exercise, diet, etc. I could never get past a certain point and was not happy with what I saw in the mirror. I was given his number by a doctor (who I can’t thank enough) and immediately called him to get on his waitlist. Those 6-8 weeks leading up to starting I was so nervous that I’d fail again. However, Coach E doesn’t let you fail. If you follow what he says and put in the work, you will have amazing results! He’s wants you to succeed just as much as you do. Rooting for you and adjusting every little detail necessary. I work in healthcare and I swear this man understands the human body on a cellular level more than any doctor I know. I lost significant weight, feel great, and after some time was finally able to get pregnant. He heals your body from the inside out, the weight loss is just one of the many great results. Because of him I was able to identify foods that were causing poor reactions within my body. He is kind and understanding, but tough on you to be the best version of yourself. If you are hesitant or questioning whether to reach out to him, there is nothing to lose. What I was not able to do in years, he was able to fix in a matter of months and further improve with time. I cannot thank Coach E enough!

I started working with coach E back in Nov 2019. In the beginning, I was definitely intimidated by his muscular and fit body and I honestly felt like a potato standing at the gym next to him. Little did I know that it was going to be hard sometimes!!! For months, I jokingly threatened Elias that I was going to sue him for all the torment he’s caused and would demand that he immediately cease and desist such torment. I felt like he was forcing me to perform extreme and unduly punishing physical exercises well outside the bounds of normal physical training. All jokes aside, Elias is the best there is in the game!!!! He is the reason I feel so strong and good today!!! I’m glad that he pushed me because I wouldn’t be where I am if he went soft on me. He’s witnessed me at my best and at my worst of times. We’ve been together for almost two years and we’ve come a long way!!! I’ll never forget some of the funniest questions that I’ve actually asked him when we started this:

“ Can you design a workout where I don’t lose weight from certain parts of my body?”

” What do you mean I can’t eat doughnuts?”

“Can you find a way to burn the fat off my chin?”

If you make me do one more squat, I’m going to kick you somewhere!!”

“Am I fat? Don’t lie to me!”

I was so serious too!!! Thank you, coach, for pushing me to be the best version of myself. I feel and look better now than I did in my twenties, and I owe it all to you!!!

I started working with Coach Elias in June of 2023. In the past 10 years, I was an active member in the military where I had to maintain a peak physical performance. Once I got out of active service, I got lazy and complacent in terms of how I treated my body. I had been dealing with the consequences of not taking care of myself the way I should have been. I was in a cycle of eating whatever I craved and was inconsistent with getting in enough meals in and working out. When I started working with Coach, I realized how important it was to have someone in my corner pushing me to be better because that’s when I really started seeing results. I went from 208 lbs to 185 lbs in the past year and my bloodwork has improved immensely (my triglycerides were way high and my HDL was low and now they’re both in a healthy range that my doctor is happy with). Along with slimming down and improved bloodwork, I have more mobility and less joint pain since starting with Coach. Although eating on plan can be difficult at times with vacations and socializing, I grew to love eating on plan with Coach more than anything else. It made me feel so much more energized to conquer my busy weeks (being in school and working) and overall improved how I view and carry myself. I’d recommend Coach to anyone who is looking to make a serious change and is willing to put in the work. Coach knows what he’s doing and wants the best for his clients. I hope to work with him again in the coming years.

I've been working with Elias for a little under 6 months now. It has been a complete night and day transformation from where I started to where I am now. As a 75 year old man Ive always been healthy and active without any medical issues at all. Early last year I became extremely ill and was sent home to be on hospice care. I was dealing with an auto immune disease, kidney failure, blood anemia, neurotrophy, just to name a few. I went from biking 10 to 20 miles a day to not being able to even stand up without assistance. My feet were swollen and in complete pain from the neurotrophy. I was extremely week and unable to even feed myself some days. My days pretty much consisted of being in bed in extreme pain and just miserable. I was referred to Elias and after just 2 weeks I already felt a difference. He is very attentive to every detail, truly cared and would always check in on me. Fast forward 4-5 months I have minimal, if any pain in my feet most days. I am able to go for walks again. I can exercise again. I now do 20 pull ups and 250 push ups daily. I can walk up and down stairs. I've gained back 20 lbs. Most importantly I was able to meet my newest granddaughter, which honestly would not have happened if I had not started with Elias. I am confident that as I continue to work with Elias that I will continue to improve and feel like the old me with time. I am thankful for Elias, not only for his knowlwdge, but for his caring heart as well.

Elias,

It's been 12+ Months of working together to improve my health, fitness and overall vitality so I thought that it would be appropriate to share a quick note of appreciation for taking me on as a client in 2024. As a former Division 1 Athlete, I am no stranger to accountability & competing with myself to be the best that I can possibly be. Working under your coaching has truly brought me back to how I felt as a college athlete, which is great because I don't know how this would have been possible with anyone else.

Everyone prefers working with a coach that not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. This creates a mentality within me as a client where I can't make excuses as I know that they aren't accepted due to your own personal example that you give. I want to sincerely thank you for the coaching on the nutritional front, as well as the training front of things. I have told my wife on many occasions that I literally can not imagine my life without you in it. My confidence has never been higher that I will be able to not only live an energetic life as my kids grow older, but God willing, that energy will remain when I have grandkids down the road.

In the event that this is posted somewhere for others to see -- The main piece of advice that I would share if you're considering working with Coach E is to leave your thoughts, opinions and feelings at the door before you walk into his coaching arena. This will expedite the process of you getting to where you want to be.

Thank you Coach E for everything.

Without a doubt Elias Ghazoul is a master at his craft. He lives and breathes the science and meticulous engineering of the human body. Today is Thanksgiving 2021; and I am exceptionally grateful for Elias working with me since August 2021 to help me get into the best shape and health in 10 years. After college I put on 60 pounds and went from diet to diet. I always went to gym but I continued to gain weight. In 12 short weeks I lost 1.5 lbs per week and got down to a size small in shirts . I had to tailor all my pants as I decreased from a tight 31 inches to a loose 29 inches. Absolutely amazing results. I have been the topic of conversation at all my gatherings regarding my crazy weight loss. And I love sharing Elias’s profile with them when they ask HOW!. Elias is 100 percent what he says he is. He is not your friend, your dad, he is the man that will give you 100% every penny that you paid for. Most people do not know that they actually need this type of coaching and leadership. You don’t need someone telling you what you want to hear, you need someone telling you what you need to know, .Checkins with Elias were always a great experience as you look forward to what his plan is and as you look for feedback to your progress. Also his response time is extraordinary. You will never be left hanging and he answers emails within 5 minutes most of the time! Thank you for teaching me a disciplined approach to how you view food. Thank you for creating a very disciplined lifestyle for me that I will never give up. Happy Thanksgiving Coach E

I started with Coach Elias 3 years ago and thought that I would give him a round and see what it was all about, I thought that with my background I knew how to get in shape and I just needed a little help. Working with Coach E I came to see that there was a whole different level of understanding when it came to healing from the inside, eating correctly for me, and getting better results than I ever thought I could in my mid-40s. He held me accountable, worked with me through tough health challenges, and kept me moving forward. I am easily stronger and healthier than I have ever been. It has been a privilege to work with him, he truly cares about my success and I know that he would bend over backwards to make sure I hit my goals. If you are considering a life change he is your guy. He will always get my referrals.

As a healthcare provider and nutritional coach, I have worked with a ton of different products. Most pre-workouts are nothing more than a monumental dose of caffeine, sugar, and stimulants. Coach E has put together a researched-backed formula that gets you going, won't drop you off a cliff, and supports a great workout. The intra-workout will shock you. I have been using these products clinically and personally for months, I notice the difference every time I use them. My recoveries are better than they have ever been, I feel great during my workouts and like I told Coach E after my first use. I feel like I could chew through steel. If you are looking to up your workouts, recover quickly, and nourish your body to get the gains you're after then you are making the right choice.

Thank you Elias,

I have been training on my own for quite a few years. I watched the fitness transformation of someone that I knew from the gym. After doing some research I found out that she was a client of Coach E’s. I couldn’t stop thinking about how bad I wanted to have a physique I could be proud of. I reached out to him and started working with him in August 2020.

Prior to Coach E, I felt so insecure at the gym that I would plan my training schedule around my fiancé’s so that I didn’t feel alone. I wouldn’t push myself hard enough because I was worried that everyone would see me fail reps. I wouldn’t finish my workouts because I felt like everyone was looking at me. Outside of the gym, I struggled with poor eating habits and chronic migraines.

The first day I met Coach E, he said you’ll never need your migraine medication again and he was right. That part alone was worth more to me than any physique goal because it gave me my quality of life back. He’s given me the tools to feel confident in the gym and overcome my anxiety. If we’re training at the same gym, he will devote time out of his own training to push me during mine. If I send training videos for him to critique, he responds immediately. That shows me how much he wants me to succeed. I hear from him at minimum once a week. Everything he does for you is catered to you.

Most people shy away from the price, but if you break it down, the average person spends $4,000 a year eating out. Why not invest that amount in quality nutrition and training for longevity of health. You truly get more than you pay for with Coach E.

I quit 3 days after I started.

I hired Elias because I wanted to get into the best shape of my life. I just turned 42 and I had a baby three years ago. I was doing pretty good on my own. I was back to my size pre-pregnancy but I wanted my 20 year old body back. I live in south Florida and being in a bathing suit is daily life for me. I didn’t like how I felt and I wanted to do something to change it.

The day I started, I was completely overwhelmed ! I never had to be so regimented with my eating before and didn’t know how to incorporate this into my life. How was I supposed to cook and eat all this food!? I even got into an argument with my partner a few days into it because he thought I was way too obsessed with myself!

It was hard so I tried to quit. Elias would not let me. He took the time to talk to me and I realized I could do this. I’m so grateful for that day and putting my trust into Elias. My partner is now a huge Elias fan and even started with him. His doctor told him to keep up whatever he is doing. He went from 21% body fat to around 15%. It’s a way of life for my family and we’re grateful.

I’m about eight months in and I’m in the best shape of my life! It was so hard at first, but it gets easy and it’s such a better way of life! I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I truly enjoy my meals and this new lifestyle.

I could never do this on my own and I’m so grateful for him! I can’t wait to see what happens to my body next. Thanks Elias.

Before working with Coach E, I was: not able to function without adderall, had theworst gut health, wasting thousands of dollars on diet fads, had heightened anxiety, awful menstrual cycles, hormonal acne,etc. I even remember basically shoving myself into a waist trainer for hours upon hours every day and being in pain in hopes to get a smaller waist.

Then I made the best decision of my life to work with Elias in 2020. Almost 4 years later my health dramatically improved. Unfortunately I have conditions with my reproductive organs ( adenomyosis, endometriosis,etc). Doctors were already talking about setting up fertility appointments. BUT thanks to working with Elias, I was able to conceive on THE FIRST TRY. Elias coached me and guided me throughout the pregnancy. He was thorough, meticulous and always was able to assist me even when doctors could not.

Fast forward to birth , and I had the most healthy baby boy. Doctors were astonished of how my birth only took 45 minutes as a first time mother. My body was so prepared for birth and it made the experience the most blissful thing. The baby was born insanely strong and alert. If I did not have Coach E guiding me throughout my pregnancy and years prior with nutrition and fitness , I can guarantee I would NOT have had such a successful pregnancy journey.

Elias not only changed my life, but he was the reason that myself baby/ myself are so healthy. No doctor , blog , etc will be able to personalize your nutrition to your exact needs like he does. Currently ,I am having a speedy recover post birth and able to enjoy time with my newborn , rather than being in bed all day recovering. I am forever grateful for Elias and I urge you to work with him if you have/had similar problems like I had.

In the past I had been able to lose weight by reducing food intake, going to the gym and at the same trying to staying active. But I always seemed to regress to my old ways mostly because I would just wing it when it came to my diet and gym regime.

Before I met Coach E, I felt it was time for a change. At first I was hesitant because I knew it would be a challenge. But after giving much thought and the weight I had gotten up to I said enough was enough. I had already seen posts of my friend Jim and his wife through their transformation and thought WOW. So I contacted Jim just to ask about his experience and recommendation on working with Coach E. His message was do it you won't regret it. So after visiting Coach E's page, the wife and I made our initial contact. Looking back now I wonder why we waited so long. I'm not saying it's easy but the plan is straight forward, follow the plan and the results come. To be honest I thought I would have to go hungry in order to lose weight but it's quite the opposite. Coach E makes himself available and is very responsive for any questions or concerns, he also checks in on you from time to time. Some would say he's pretty blunt and straight forward, but I appreciate that in a person especially from Coach E, I don't want it sugar coated tell me how it is. Don't get me wrong while he'll set you straight he'll also be your biggest fan along the journey.

My wife and I just completed our initial phase and very excited about the next one. We are getting complements left & right and we feel much better than we have in a long time all thanks to Coach E!

Signing up with Elias is hands down one of the best decisions I have made! He is one of those people than changes you. Changes the way you think about yourself, changes the way you look at your nutrition, changes the way you approach work, your family, your friends, life in general. He sets you up to be the best version of yourself and nothing less.

By no means being coached by Elias is easy but it is 100% effective! I have spent years trying to tone up my body by doing workout gym classes, running, yoga, trying new diets, fasting etc and nothing worked. I only gained more and more body fat. With Elias, I felt better within weeks, looked better within a month and I keep improving. I can honestly say I am in the best shape of my life at 42 years old. I feel strong, my confidence has soared and my appreciation for my body has reached a ultimate high. I receive daily compliments on how great I look. I’m toned, my posture is so much better, my energy is stable, I don’t have sugar cravings and my skin is glowing.

One of the things that makes me most proud is being this example to my kids. They see their mom taking care of herself, they see my growth and improvement. Most of all they see the hard work and discipline it takes! Kids watch us all the time and what they are witnessing, will stay with them forever.

If you can follow direction, stay focused on one source (Elias)-you will get the result you want and more! Don’t hesitate one bit and sign up. Elias is one of a kind with a huge passion and dedication for his work. He wants you to be the best version of yourself and he will get there if you put in the effort consistently and faithfully!

Started with Coach E in February. 7 years ago I went to many doctors for GI pain and daily nausea after every thing I would eat. Many tests were done on me, ultrasounds, scans, genetic testing, trying different meds & they kept saying “ everything looks normal”. For my last resort I went to another doctor who decided that the best thing we can do is removing my gallbladder. I did not know any better then & I was so over going to doctors and being in pain. So I did the damn surgery. Looking back at it, I do regret this decision based on the knowledge that I now know.

Regardless, this did not solve anything, still nauseous & would get stomach pain all the time. I started doing my own thing & did some herbal remedies which helped a bit with pain but still did not feel 100%. On top of that, I would also have breakouts on my face consistently & about 2 years ago it started getting worse. Hormones where out of wack, period pains were rough, always fatigued, just feeling like crap . This year, I finally was like , let me try coach E, I had many friends/family who have started with him so I bit the bullet. Almost 3 months now & I have only been nauseous ONCE. That is a record for me & a blessing. My skin has glowed & I only have acne scars & have only had 1-2 new pimples. My energy is a lot better to where I do not fall asleep everywhere I go. Mind you, I am a nurse who works night shift (which Coach hate), which Is why I quit that job to find work during dayshift. It so happens that my wedding is in a few days & I feel & look the best I have in years. I look forward for more growth with coach E.

I have been working with Elias for just rounding on 1 year now. When I started this journey with him, my main goal was some fat loss and muscle gain. I had been working on my nutrition and lifting regularly for about a year before that and was not making the progress I was wanting. I had frequent headaches which I treated with ibuprofen, tylenol, naproxen, among others. Changing the amount and type I was taking because after a while, any one type would just “not be enough”. Everyday I experienced mid-day fatigue to the point that naps were regularly had. Those things I chalked up to sinus issues and being worn out from being a working mom. Never have I been a lazy person, so I assumed I was “just tired”. Never once did I even consider that these things were not normal or that they would be fixed during this process.

Very quickly Elias was able to change my body composition with more food than I had been eating previously. Month after month, the progress from the outside was noticeable. But what came as a surprising shock was when I remembered one day that I had not had a headache in days, then weeks, then months. I went from taking those various pain relievers daily to not taking them all. I stopped experiencing those mid day slumps and felt energized throughout my day.

I have had my fair share of slip ups and most definitely have fallen “off the wagon”. But even still, Elias remains steady and constant. Always redirecting me and reminding me of my goals and progress.

It has not been an easy process but I cannot imagine living my life any other way.

I think back to a year ago and see how I look/feel now and would have never thought that this type of progress for myself would be possible. I cannot wait for the next year’s plan and progress. Thanks, Coach E for your dedication and vision. ❤️

I have been working with Elias for about 19 weeks now. My physical appearance, as well as mental health, has never been better. When I first started working with Elias, I was unaware of what nutrition and training I truly needed. He has been very patient with me to see what works best for me and my lifestyle. I admire how direct he is, this is a quality I value in a trainer. The most important life tool that I have improved from working with him is discipline. I made a great decision the day I chose him to be my coach, and I am excited to see where I will be weeks from now.

Coach Elias is for you if you are ready to be disciplined, accountable and if you’ve struggled with weight loss…prepare to relearn what many have been taught in a world of fad diets and crazy exercise programs. After 7 months with Elias, I’ve learned a great deal about how and what you need to be eating and that you don’t need complicated exercise programs to see change. Pushing 45, struggling with weight loss and thyroid challenges, I saw more results in that time than I had in 10 years. To be clear, I was ready. I had pushed myself into a schedule and discipline for 10 months prior to finding Elias and was ready to make an investment in the next push. Don’t casually stroll into this thinking the work will be done for you. He gives you the tools, you must execute. Look at the opportunity to work with Elias as preventative medicine. While he might have to clean up a mess, I always felt the end goal was optimal health and well-being of his clients to avoid future health pitfalls. I feel amazing, my body confidence has reached new levels and my overall health has improved. Elias is an expert and has given more gainful knowledge and results than any doctor I have been to in the last 5 years.

In my life I have been fortunate to be around some of the best athletes and trainers. Their work ethic and dedication is second to none. I would consider Coach E the best. Why do I say that? Well for me I have never looked or felt how I do now since high school. Looking from the outside, some may feel that I am a naturally disciplined individual. But even individuals with a work ethic need someone in their corner who is even more disciplined to help them.

In the last year + he has helped me to see how the body if given the right stimulus will reach its peak. There are many personal trainers and nutrition coaches but I have never seen both in one person and the level Coach E is...

Coach E is not the coach for those who do not want whats best for them. His job to to push you to where "the real you" wants to be. But he has found the balance between "no excuses" and knowing when to be patient. Now all we need is for him to take a weekend culinary class and expand his food options 😂😂😂 But I will admit that Coach E has taught me to eat to live and not live to eat. The results speak for themselves.

Listen to him... He loves you!

My family and I are grateful that we did!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Elias, i just wanted to say thank you very much for everything you do! Its been one year and i feel like i did 20 years ago. Everybody asks me if felt better after i initially lost the weight, i used to say not really, but after working with you for the last year i now can actually say i do. I really feel better than i did 1 year ago! Im super grateful for your work and your friendship. This is easy you say it i do it. I really really am super thankful for your help your the man brother! Thanks again Champ!

You don't know what you don't know. Ever hear that saying? Well I didn't know the accountability, guidance, and level of coaching I needed to achieve my goals until I dove in and started working with Elias. It has been one of the best decisions I have made for both my physical and mental health in my adult life. No plans to stop or ever look back, and we are just getting started.

As a teen and well into my 20's I was a pageant girl. I had trainers, dieted, took time off, and then repeated some version of the cycle over and over. I was what you call a "yo-yo", but never stopped to think about the long term effect this type of lifestyle would have. After becoming a mom, and being lost in the rat race at work and in life, I longed for the feeling I had when my body was at its best.

After working with Elias, I can tell you that no one else compares to the level of detail, consistency, and care that is given to help you achieve your goals. Yes, it's a virtual coaching, but one that is constant. Most programs set you up to fail. You receive your plan and are released into the wild, never checking in or plans that give you flexibility to alter the program. This ultimately leads to failure. Elias crafts your plan, and you are in constant contact with check-ins, adjustments, and his no excuse approach doesn't allow you to fall of course. If you do, it's not for long. I have never felt more accountable to myself, but also to a coach who has invested so much time into helping me succeed. It's a disciplined approach, and that mindset is powerful.

I began working with Elias to "look" my best, but my eyes have been opened. We think we need motivation but that's why most fail. What we need is discipline, and having a coach who practices what he preaches with elevate you to find that discipline in your life.

When I first started this program I did not know what to expect. I was quite intimidated to start because it seemed like a lot of work had to go into it. And while you do have to put some effort into it, it is nothing compared to how good you start to feel and the results you start to have. I am what you would call a “Serial dieter”. I have done every single diet under the moon. If you’ve heard of it chances are I have done it. Not one of those diets EVER made me feel the way I do currently. I would not even classify it as a diet either. On every single other diet I was either eating way too little food, or processed packaged carcinogenic JUNK. The meal plan Coach E has created is incredibly balanced, and so satisfying. For once I don’t even feel like I am dieting at all. It is so easy to stick to, which is rare when you’re on your weight loss journey. All I can say is THANK YOU COACH E !! For guiding me into getting my life back. The transformation I have seen in the past months is nothing short of incredible. I started out this program taking a chance at what looked to be a good nutrition program, but I got so much more out of it. I have never met anyone with the same work ethic and care for his clients as Coach. I remember the first time I sent him a question, I had a response within 3 minutes. He is THAT dedicated to YOU. When someone brings that level of dedication to YOUR OWN success, it inspires you to raise your own level of dedication and match it. You can’t help but succeed. Thank you Coach for believing in me and pushing me to become the best version of myself. I cant wait to see all that I become, and the success of others that take a chance on being coached by the best Coach that exists.

My experience with Elias has been absolutely wonderful, he’s truly one of the best Coaches out there.

Before I started with Elias I worked with a “Coach” for a little over 3yrs and my progress was hitting a brick wall and I was at a standstill. I knew it was time for me to move on because I wanted better and I wanted more results.

I knew this time around it was important that I find a Coach that eats, sleeps and breathes this lifestyle, I wanted a Coach who truly has personal experience and a great deal of knowledge, a Coach that is detailed, a Coach that is grounded and runs a tight ship, someone who challenges me and isn’t afraid to push my limits but also someone who is humble and cares about their clients -That is 100% Elias!

I followed Elias on social media for while before I signed up with his program, I watched his videos and really listened and really liked what he would preach, and then getting to see all of the amazing results from his clients - not only were they losing body fat, weight and building muscle, but improving their overall health was really something that stuck out to me.

I could see his clients taking years of damage off of their bodies, their skin, their hair, their face they just looked so much healthier/younger and that was enough to convince me to get on board with Elias.

I just ended my first 12weeks of his program and absolutely love my results. Im starting into my second round and I can feel a difference already within myself, not only am I hitting fitness goals, and looking better on the outside but internally I feel like I am getting nourished, functioning better, feeling more balanced and calm because we are doing things the right way.

A good coach like Elias is very hard to come by, he has added so much good and positive to my life and that is exactly why I’m going to continue working with him.

The decision to hire Elias as a coach has been one of the most important decisions I’ve made in my young adult life. I have gone through many highs and lows when it came to my fitness and diet from the age of 18-26. Having months where I would be in the gym multiple times a week and eating clean to months not even stepping in the gym and eating whatever I wanted. Although during the times of my life where I was making progress I would get complacent with my progress and make excuses for not sticking to the plan because I deserve a break. Consistency was always a road block for me and working with Elias has taught me one valuable lesson and that is consistency over time yields the best results; not just with health and fitness but rather with everything you do in your life. There would be times of frustration because I was not happy with where my body but Coach E told me to trust the process and after 6 months of working with him I lost over 40 pounds. Looking back at it it seemed impossible to lose the weight although through every checkin I knew I was getting closer to my goal. You gave me the tools to succeed and it was my job to stick to it.

The beginning of the process was tough because of the meal prepping and sticking to a workout plan but as time passed it became a lifestyle. I needed to get it done every single day. You have changed my life with the lessons you have taught me and I am truly grateful for that. Elias thank you for being tough on me when I messed up, thank you for always being available when I needed to talk to you, thank you for teaching me consistency is the key success in life, thank you for instilling the mentality of putting my health and fitness first, and most importantly thank you for your commitment to helping people become the best version of themselves. Having you as a coach has been one hell of an experience and I do not regret it one bit.

I never thought I’d be able to reach my goal. I’d look in the mirror and feel disgust. “How could I let myself get to this point again?” would echo in my head. I felt so unhealthy and lost, and I came to despise my reflection.

I chose to reach out to Coach E. I wanted to change. I wanted to become healthier. And after all the wonderful things I’ve heard about him, I decided to commit myself to his plan.

I had trust issues at first - letting him be in control of every aspect of what I put in my body. He promised me that he would help me, but reminded me that this is all a team effort. Just like how the moon can’t rise without the sun resting - I had to do my part as well to achieve what I’ve been owing myself and my body for years.

I was so bitterly reluctant to letting someone have control of everything I do...until I realized it was working. These past 5 months have been so very challenging for me. I’ve never stuck to a new lifestyle for very long - but Coach E has made it worth every second.

He checks in often. He motivates me every single day to keep pushing, even when I get down on myself. He reminds me that the scale doesn’t matter and what’s most important is how I feel. He is tough, but that is the type of love I respond best to (and I never knew that until I started working with him).

Coach E’s love and commitment for his work shines through all of his clients. And I am so grateful to have been able to work with him.

So...this morning I stepped on the scale and started to cry. I have achieved the goal I had set for myself 5 months ago. I look at my reflection and I am IN LOVE with who I see now. I feel healthy and how I deserve to feel at age 26. My body is happy with me and I am happy with it.

Thank you Coach E for showing me what true dedication can do. Team work makes the dream work.

I want my coach to never ask me to do something he/she doesn’t do themselves. Coach E would never.

I want my coach to care more about me being a healthier person than the way I look and prioritize internal health over aesthetics. Coach E does that.

I want my coach to be unbelievably responsive and return my emails, texts or calls within the hour. Coach E excels at this.

I want my coach to develop a custom plan that fits my lifestyle, tailored to my schedule that incorporates my priorities as a father to 4 children , husband to my beautiful wife and a high performing executive role at one of the largest companies in the world. I don’t want cookie cutter, regurgitated plans. I want a plan built just for me that gets updated regularly and progresses closer to perfection after every check-in. Coach E delivers that every single week.

I want my coach to hold me accountable. Without accountability a training and nutrition plan is nothing. Coach E never lets me slip for a second.

I want my coach to be tough, but fair. I want my coach to push hard, really hard, but also know when to say “I understand life threw you a curveball today, here’s how we are going to attack this and get through it together”. Coach E has proven this many times.

Lastly, I want my coach to think about everything. Every piece to the overall health puzzle. I thought I was getting a nutrition plan and a training plan. I have gotten so much more. Some of the little things that I’ve learned will stick with me for the rest of my life and have become a part of my fabric. Coach E gave me those life lessons.

Thank you Coach E for being exactly what I needed in a coach in every way for the past 7 months. Im the healthiest I’ve been in many years, I feel good about the way I look and I’m not done yet. You’ve helped me, my wife and my children be healthier versions of ourselves and live longer and I hope that you feel the sincere gratitude I have for your effort, your thoughtfulness and most of all, for your friendship. Keep being you and keep pushing. Real ones know. 👊🏻

I met Elias through my fiancé. The very first time I ever met Elias I was intimated to say the very least. We were just talking and got on the subject of working out. I told him I would do home workouts and that I ran at least 5 miles daily and sometimes up to 10 miles a day. He told me right then and there that I was crazy and that I should come work with him. I told him no and that I didn’t need his help. Fast forward a year and on Saturdays I would workout with Elias and my fiancé, they both kept telling me to sign up and to work with Elias, I kept telling them no. Finally on Christmas Day 2021 I was working out with Elias and finally told him I would sign up and I was going to let him be my coach with 2 conditions. 1. I would not give up running and 2. To keep fruit in my diet. I told Elias he was in for it since I’m incredibly stubborn.

Working with Elias has been one of the hardest things I have ever done yet the best decision of my life. He has believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. He has pushed me to my limits. There have been days when I want to quit and give up and Elias is there to support me and talk me through it all. He can be harsh, stubborn, and opinionated but at the end of the day he has the biggest heart and he just wants the best for his clients.

I have never felt this good in my life. It is all thanks to Elias. I wasn’t sleeping good, I was always tired, moody, stressed out, bloated, never got my cycle, and overall didn’t feel good. After a few weeks of working with Elias I started to feel amazing and saw results. Now 9 months in, I have never felt better or looked better. Elias makes it easy. He lays it all out for me and I just listen and execute.

Elias is not just my coach, he has become my family. I am forever grateful for Elias and how he has helped me. I wouldn’t be where I am today, if it weren’t for Elias (and my fiancé pushing me to work with Elias).

Dearest Coach Elias!

Six months & 36lbs lighter without weight loss even being the goal!

The past 6 months have been a journey, a roller coaster of a ride! I came in crawling and feeling like I had one more breath inside my body and almost zero energy to keep going! My heart pounding, shaking and my body sweating like I ran a month long marathon. I was pushing through to make it another day!

Then I started my coaching with you!

It’s not easy to, I struggled a bit to manage my career, life and preparing all my meals in advance as to not fail. My daily routine is super crazy as it is so if I don’t meal prep then I can just forget about it!

But there’s never an excuse! You push through everything in life, including this which many just make an excuse for.

You give me the tools I need each and every week, you provide guidance & expertise!! I take that & execute with no looking back!!! You refer to discipline often!!! Life should be lived with discipline, structure and a routine!!!!

You have to be #1 to self & must love yourself…something I learned from my coach Elias.

Mindset must be- I am here for a purpose & am important!!

Things I live by everyday:

Your body is your foundation if you don’t build it up with the best you can within your abilities then it will crumble!

Life back to basics! Our food consumed should come from the ground, not a factory!

Keep your body moving! Our ancestors did not have or watch tv!!!

Limit social media but if you must stay connected use it for positive energy, good vibes and to encourage others!!! Leave the negativity and petty stuff out.

Life is too short and you must use it wisely. Focus on the things you want all those who love you to remember you by!!!

You have to be the ultimate best for YOU!!! 🙏🏽

Elias~ thank you for being there when I need your guidance and support! For your encouragement to be the best that I want to be for myself!!! 💯% with no cheating unless you’ve ordered me too get a big dessert, not overthinking about it and enjoy it! 😏

Looking forward to continuing the journey to “THE BEST ME” and feeling healthier with each day!

When I first started with you in August 2023, as you know I was a functioning sick man. I was pre diabetic, and had hypertension weighing at my heaviest 341. I couldn’t get my blood pressure under control, I had fatty liver, and at times shortness of breath. I had to walk around with a hand towel because my body was being over worked from walking with so much extra weight. I would drip in sweat just walking for 5 minutes or more.

Since then I’ve done a complete 180 and turned my life around. I’m nearly 90 pounds down and the feel the best I’ve ever felt in my adult life. I’m now down to just 1 medication (soon to be none) for my hypertension which my milligrams were cut in half. I have so much energy and feel amazing after my workouts. I even look forward to going to the gym the next day. This change in my life has not only affected me but my family as well. I have more energy to play with my young girls and keep up with my teenage son who till this day still cannot beat me at basketball. My wife has also enjoyed the benefits of my weight loss in other ways I won’t mention lol. My parents, and siblings are now more health conscious because they’ve seen my transformation and want the same for themselves.

This has been hands down the best decision I’ve made for my health in my adult life and I would recommend any person who is SERIOUS and I mean SERIOUS about changing there life to do their research and work with you coach. If you can follow instructions and pay attention to details at the simplest level you WILL see the results.

People who know me and have seen my transformation have asked me what and how did I do it and I always tell them this was no miracle drug, no shot, no viral social media 30 day diet that made me get where I was today but with the help of my coach, listening and following his directions on top of dedicating myself to hard work I was able to attain a new healthy lifestyle. Coach Elias you literally saved my life and I will be forever grateful for what you’ve done for me. And by the way, we are still not done!

I began working with Elias on a 12 week training and nutrition program after my pandemic weight gain with the intention of losing about 5-10 lbs and fitting comfortably back into my jeans that were skin tight (size 8). I also wanted to focus on not just losing weight, but continuing to get stronger in the gym.

Fast forward to 24 weeks later and I have lost 25 lbs and am in a size 4! I had no idea I even had that much weight to lose. I had no idea my body type could ever even fit a size 4. Elias will see potential in you that you cannot see in yourself. Not only have I lost the weight and then some, I am seeing gains in the gym that I could have never accomplished on my own. Having a coach was the puzzle piece I have been missing all these years when going to the gym just wasn’t enough. I could go to the gym 5 days a week and train my hardest, but without the right nutrition to go along with it I was just running in circles.

Anyone who tries to tell you this program is easy is lying. It is easy in the sense that Elias lays out exactly what you need to do, and as long as you do it the results will blow your mind. You will watch yourself literally transform week by week. There is no guess work. But you have to be tough to succeed. You have to make yourself and your health a priority above all else. It is time consuming and you might miss out on a lot of the things you used to love but that is the nature of the beast. You have to make that choice everyday to keep chasing your goals. It’s a challenge I think every person would benefit from physically and mentally.

I thought this journey would be 12 weeks, but I cannot imagine being without this program. I am grateful for Elias and the lessons I’ve learned while working with him and as tough as it is sometimes, my only regret is that I didn’t start sooner. If you are reading this and you are trying to decide if this program is right for you- trust me, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. You’re only wasting time every minute that you don’t.

My journey with weight loss has been like most people’s, inconsistent. Coming from a culture where love is shown primarily through cooking and eating, I was becoming obsessed with eating. When I entered the 9th grade I was bigger than your average freshman, 6’0ft and 220 pounds. Eating constantly to bulk up for football and lifting was all my coaches taught me how to do, get as big as you possibly could. I had goals to play at a collegiate level, but when I realized that it wasn’t for me I was stuck. I entered my freshman year of college at 6’3 300 pounds. I was drinking 4 nights out of the week with the intention of getting black out drunk on beer kegs, I had zero care in the world. I heard a lot of family members talking about Coach E and his work and the results were there. I saw how disciplined and dedicated my cousins were to this way of life and I hit a breaking point. Border line diabetic, major risk for future heart disease, high blood pressure, and everything under the sun. I was 20 years old. All I could think about was my father’s journey with his heart disease, he had his first heart attack at 30 years old and has had 4 since then. He is 57 years old, I wanted to prevent this from happening to me and I needed to do it quick. I started with Coach E when I was weighing in at 350 pounds, it was the biggest change of my life. The first 3 months are the most CRUCIAL part of this life style. You have to be all in, mentally and physically. It has been a year and I have lost almost 100 pounds because of the hard work, dedication, and discipline that Coach E has instilled in me. I could talk forever about how invested Coach E is in each and every single one of his clients. Coach is not just a nutritionist, he is a mentor and a master at his craft, and I am honored to be able to call him family. He has pulled me out of the worst depression of my life. Coach E expects nothing but excellence and discipline from his clients, and he returns the favor 10 fold to those who bring their all. It is a pleasure working with Coach E, and it’s just getting started.

Here’s the thing (ie my truth) about coaching…

For me, hiring someone as a coach means putting 1000% trust into that individual , no questions asked.

It means knowing from MY GUT that this person sees me and understands me from the INSIDE OUT. And if they don’t , they put in the work & commitment on their end as much as I do on my end to get to know the ins and outs of my system (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually …) to earn the right to continue receiving my kind of top tier trust

knowing the outcome is fulfilling our ultimate human potential - both theirs and mine (& subsequently the entire planet’s, cuz isn’t that what this is all about ?)

Ever since I dove into “personal development” 7 years ago, I’ve crossed paths with hundreds (if not thousands) of ‘coaches’

Majority in the mindset field..

Many in the business field..

Few in the embodiment field..

Handful in the fitness field..

Even some in the spiritual field..

One thing I know without a doubt is anyone that takes on the path of being any kind of coach truly has their heart in the right place - there is absolutely no denying that.

Several have become dear friends because quality of character in a heart centered coach is exactly the type of human being I want to surround myself & ally with (to raise global consciousness), but never (again) to coach me.

Cuz when it comes to hiring someone to coach me, that requires next level SUPER HUMBLE superhuman sh*t - one that can cover every area of my life.

It requires being beyond what the average can handle & tolerate (because I know that’s what I am ;)

And I can wholeheartedly say that there is just one person that fits the bill, in my world.

I could write an essay on the impact he’s made on my life, and we’ve never met in person & had only 1 or 2 convos over the phone.

But from the start he held my trust , and not once did it fail me.

On the surface it looks like we just worked on my body, but in reality the improvement came in the form of growing my business, finances, relationships, self love & fulfillment.

So my moral to this story is, when it comes to ‘coaches’ , when you find the right one - YOU ONLY NEED ONE.

When you think of a trainer, you might not necessarily think that the trainer could be a coach. I have played many years of football and had my fair share of coaches and trainers over the years. Each person in their respective titles acted accordingly to said title, coaches coached, trainers helped in the weight room and recovery room. I had a perception of what I thought a coach and trainer should be, and how they should be different. The day I started working with Elias, probably better known as Coach E, I realized this man had his own way of doing things and that’s how it’s going to be, or I can find another trainer. Coach E is full of passion, knowledge, determination, dedication and most importantly discipline . His plans are custom fit for an individual’s needs. He takes the time to learn about you as a person and makes a connection with you that is unique. Coach E lives what he preaches. His results for himself and other clients are proof his coaching and training works. He is always willing to help, listen, and encourage. He is determined to bring you to your goals whatever they may be. I can’t think of anyone who is more serious or better at their job than he is. Coach E is the ultimate motivator. The respect that he shows his clients is unmatched. This judgement free respect that he gives you makes you want to achieve your goals all the more knowing you have a rock in your corner always willing to help even when you slip up a little on his diets or training. Coach E is relentless in all the right ways and I’m proud to say that he is not only my coach but my trainer as well. He has mastered both titles and has woven them together to become the best coach you could ask for. I have been working with Coach E for almost a year now and he has become a true friend for not only myself but my girlfriend who is also a client of his. I am not from this area, so to have met and made friends with a man of his character in this new area for me means the world to me. Do yourself a favor and make coach E a part of your life. You will only get better as a person, and he will help you realize that you can accomplish anything you can dream of.

It’s coming up on my 1 year mark since I started my journey with Coach E (Elias) and I can say this process has been completely life changing for the better.

As a 39yr old female, my main goal was to get my health on point, also to look and feel my absolute best.

I had been dealing with major GI issues and was taking expensive prescribed medications, dealing with allergies, sinus infections, skin irritations, anxiety, mood swings, lack of sleep and was constantly going to the doctors for more meds/treatments.

At times I felt defeated and I wanted better for myself. I didn’t want to depend on medication, to deal with side effects, medical bills or to eventually end up missing out on life because of sickness and I wanted to see more of my hard work paying off from training. I worked with other coaches before working with Elias and my progress had hit a dead end, I was in a negative rut with myself.

When I came across Elias on social media, I would read his post, listen to his videos, looked at his incredible clients results - and I loved what he had to say, and I felt in my heart he was going to be the Coach that gets me out of this rut I was in and guide me on a much healthier and positive path.

My favorite qualities about Elias is that he’s been a wonderful leader/role model, I admire his hard work, his response time is unbelievably fast, he’s a great communicator, he’s detailed, so organized, he’s disciplined runs a tight ship and yet he’s very humble with a big heart - everything I wanted in a coach!

At times Elias may come off as intimidating/tough but he’s only being real and straightforward because he wants his clients to be successful and thriving at their best.

Thanks to Elias my health is improving, I’m off medications, saving money and time from medical expenses/doctor visits and my body transformation has really taken off and shocked me - this past year has definitely exceeded my expectations with my progress.

I can’t thank Elias enough for taking me on as a client, for believing in me and also reminding me at times of my vision and goals when I’m in a funk. I’m really grateful to be on this journey with Elias and thankful for the amount of time and detail that he puts into each of our plans.

Working with Elias has been worth every dollar I’ve spent and is one of the best investments I’ve made for my life!!

I began my journey with Coach E one year ago. My 20 something, athlete son was working with him to become more lean, and build more muscle. After seeing his results, my husband started working with Coach E for weight loss and muscle building . . . Both men were making incredible progress with his coaching. I was experiencing some very severe menopausal symptoms- the worst of which was having hot flashes wake me every 1-2 hours, creating major sleep deprivation. My thyroid was also not functioning and I was losing my hair and my nails would split and not grow. Another disturbing result of menopause was a 25 lb weight gain in a 10 week time period! This was awful on my 5 ft frame... I felt bad, looked worse than I ever have in my life and my friends and even my doctor told me this was all part of growing older and "going through the change" of life. I was willing to accept the additional weight if I could feel better... .My son saw my frustration and my husband was living with my grumpy self and both suggested I give coaching with Elias a try. I was very skeptical- how would a 30 something male bodybuilder possibly help me, a middle-aged woman in menopause who actually had a gym "phobia"? Well, within 2 weeks on Coach E's plan I felt better- unexpectedly my chronic congestion due to "allergies" was better, I was sleeping 4-5 hours at a stretch and I'm sure I had lost some weight but since that was not my focus, I don't remember. Within six months, I was sleeping all night, my hair and nails started to grow and I had lost 11% body fat! I am now in the 14th% for body fat, which means I lost about 20 lbs but gained muscle all while eating much more and more often. Coach E is always supportive and pushes me when I need that and encourages me when I need that- his knowledge and passion have helped me far exceed my goals and prove everyone wrong who said the fat gain and not sleeping is all part of menopause. I will continue on this journey with Coach E and am forever thankful that I have a knowledgeable, passionate, kind and supportive coach. If you decide to work with him, YOU must choose this because YOU truly want to change! He will give you the tools and knowledge for you to achieve your best as he always wants what is best for YOU. Be completely honest with him and trust him to learn YOUR metabolism and he will help you become your best self, no matter your age!

I’ve known Eli for almost 15 years, his character and competence is unmatched.

He leads from the front in every way.

He's completely changed my life for the better and I can’t say enough good things about him. This man don’t miss!

If you’re looking to bring out your best self there is NO BETTER COACH OUT THERE!

Love you Coach E!!

I originally started working with Elias because I wanted to lose weight that I had been struggling with after my first pregnancy. Shortly after committing to this journey, I found out I was pregnant. Instead of stopping or putting my health on hold, Elias and I decided to switch gears and focus on supporting my body and my baby through proper nutrition.

This was my second pregnancy and the difference between the two was night and day. During my first pregnancy, I gained over 45 pounds, felt uncomfortable most of the time, and struggled afterward to feel like myself again. This time, while working closely with Elias throughout my entire pregnancy, I gained minimal weight, maintained my body composition, and most importantly, I felt good. I had more energy, felt stronger in my body, and felt confident in how I was nourishing myself and my baby.

Elias never once made me feel restricted or pressured. Even on days when I was sick or exhausted, he worked with me not against me making sure I was properly fueled without ever feeling like I was starving. I truly felt supported every step of the way. I didn’t even take prenatal supplements just his suggested supplements, yet my baby was born perfectly healthy. My delivery was smooth and empowering. Under 2 hours, vaginal, and complication-free. I came home with a healthy 7lb 6oz baby boy.

After giving birth, I was honestly amazed. Not only did I maintain my body composition postpartum, but within one month I was already weighing less than I did before starting this journey. That alone still blows my mind. I felt strong, recovered faster than I ever expected, and felt like myself again, something I didn’t experience after my first pregnancy.

Beyond the physical results, the support meant everything to me. Elias was always available, always responsive, and always willing to answer my questions through text or email. I never felt alone, confused, or dismissed.

This journey has completely changed my perspective on pregnancy, nutrition, and what my body is capable of. I will absolutely continue working with Elias as I now focus on fat loss and reaching my long-term goals. I trust him fully and couldn’t recommend him enough to any woman! Especially moms who want to feel strong, supported, and confident in their bodies.

Coach E has changed my life in a way that no doctor, therapist, or trainer ever has. Before Coach, I had a laundry list of health issues. I was overweight, had severe stomach problems, ulcers, stomach pains, chronic headaches, as well as several mental health issues I was working through. I was tired all the time and trying everything to feel like myself again. I would spend 6 days a week in the gym and eating what most people would consider to be “healthy” but all I was doing was making it worse. I saw about 10 different doctors who sent me around to every specialist. I spent $3,000 on tests just so they could tell me there was something wrong, but they couldn’t fix it unless I took 5 different medications that could ultimately make my stomach worse in the end.

When I finally came across Coach E’s Instagram and started listening to his videos, my honest first thought was “this guy is crazy”. But because of his amazing testimonials and transformations I gave the account a follow. Over time I watched as Coach E saved people from the inside out. After months of getting no where on my own I decided that working with Coach E might be my only shot at this point, so I finally signed up.

When we first started I was a little overwhelmed but he assured me that if I do exactly what he said, I would get the results that I wanted. He was right. In only 2 or so weeks my gut issues had completely disappeared. I honestly could not believe it. Coach E was able to do something for me in 2 weeks that a team of doctors couldn’t do in 2 years. As the weeks went on I began losing weight, I had an energy level that I had not seen since high school and was eating more and working out less than I had in previous years.

While I did think that this would improve my mental health, I did not know just how much it would. To say that this suprise was a blessing would be a complete understatement. I had spent everyday battling my mental heath since I was about 8 years old. I went through more clinics, counselors, and medications then I could ever count. And today, 3 weeks away from turning 28, I can finally say for the first time in my adult life that I am truly happy and excited about life once again.

There are no words or actions that could show how grateful I am.. And I was right, Coach E is crazy, but in the absolute best way possible. Crazy intelligent, hardworking, dedicated, and genuine. Thank you Coach for providing me with tools and instructions to live a happy and healthy life.

In November of 2021 I would say I was at my lowest point. My husband and I own and operate 14 restaurants, and the past 2 years have not been easy. I remember looking in the mirror: my skin looked almost gray, I looked tired, my stress level was at an all time high. I remember thinking "I would do anything to not feel like this."

A friend of mine got me started with Elias in December. I had tuned in to some of his social media posts before my plan started. "if you're only giving me 90%, you might as well give me 0!" Woah. Ok. this guy is direct! I LIKE IT! This is exactly my approach with my own team at work! I started the plan with the mindset of 100% commitment. Within days my head felt so much clearer. I was focused. I almost felt like someone took the dial on my stress and turned it all the way down. The every day stresses were there, but I was handling them with patience.

All three of my dad's sisters had breast cancer, one had lost her battle, so my doctor wanted me to test for the BRCA gene. 6 days after starting with Elias, my doctor called me. I had tested positive for this gene mutation and I'm genetically dispositioned to have higher risk of cancer. This was no longer about looking better and lowering my stress. This is now about proactively controlling my health with how I treat my body. Elias now works my nutrition plan to control my hormones to keep my body on point and on defense.

And, I'm looking pretty darn good! I'm 41 and I haven't been this size since before my third son was born. I seriously thought that this is just the way it was when you are over 40 and have three kids. I haven't felt/looked this good in over 15 years.

Now my son is an athlete. His goal is to play college sports. His idea of "bulking up" was to basically eat anything in sight, drink some protein shakes, and see what happens. Working with Elias the past 7 months, I knew that this could be a recipe for disaster in his long-term health, and I want to set him up for success in any way that I can. We started him on the plan as well. I know that Elias will make his body run like a machine, and his "bulking" will be in a healthy way that won't do long-term damage to his gut or other organs.

My husband has been a great support through the past 7 months. When his bloodwork came back as high cholesterol, he knew exactly what to do: "I think it's time I sign up, too"

The family that weighs together stays together.

The best way to describe working with Elias is “life changing.” I have worked with a LOT of in person and online coaches through the years. I can count at least 8 prior to starting with Elias. I can tell you that without a doubt, he is hands down THE BEST. His dedication to his clients and his job is undeniable. He cares about his clients more than most of them probably care about themselves. He wants our success as much if not more. His turnaround time for check ins and emails is crazy fast. Sometimes it is within minutes. He pays attention to the details and is very, VERY organized. The results his clients have are out of this world. Does it take hard work? Of course. There is no slacking if you want to get results with Elias. But he makes it simple so just follow the plan. Let him do the thinking for you. His experience with many health issues, body types, and differing client goals is extensive. He will get you to your best. Point blank period. You have to trust him and trust the process. I told myself when I signed up, I can just do 12 weeks and go from there. Well after 6 months, I’m definitely a long term client with no plans of stopping now. I have gained so much confidence and strength physically and mentally during my time working with Elias. Don’t let his Instagram rants fool you, he is one of the kindest and most caring people I’ve ever met. I consider him a coach, role model, and friend. He makes me want to be the best I can be. When I first started I was so worried I would miss certain foods or drinking alcohol. I can honestly say I rarely have food cravings now. Even sometimes when I get free meals, I realize how much better my body feels without junk and can’t wait to get back to my normal meals. As far as the drinking, I don’t miss it. I don’t miss the hangovers or puffy face in the morning. During the last 6 months, I’ve celebrated New Years, family birthdays, Easter, friends’ birthdays, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father’s Day, 4th of July, and gone on dates. I’ve managed to enjoy meals/treats/key lime pie and still continue to make insane progress. I can list each drink I’ve had all year bc it’s so few. Do I go overboard? No. Do I feel restricted or crave junk? No. I’m eating more food now and doing less cardio than I have in the past and I’m in the best shape of my life. I could go on and on of how grateful I am to have put my trust in Elias. I would encourage anyone who wants to get healthy or fit (and do it the RIGHT way) to work with him. It will change your life forever.

As someone with a petite, yet muscular build, I’ve struggled all of my life with managing my weight in an effective and sustainable way. Though I worked with trainers before, including years of sports conditioning for tennis and lacrosse, as well as had a dedicated fitness regimen, I was continuing to have challenges as it pertained to being in a place physically where I felt and looked my best.

I’d found Elias through a former coworker of mine, after he had posted before and after pictures of having worked with Coach E. I was blown away - the difference was undeniable, and within a timeframe that seemed so brief. I inquired about what he had done differently, and he was very excited about the recent changes he had made with Coach E. I started to follow along on Instagram, and having seen these amazing transformations unfold across diverse sets of clients, I’d found the answer to my multi-year dilemma.

I’ve been working with Coach E going on 13 weeks... I am getting married in October, and for someone who has historically loathed clothing shopping and pictures, I’m feeling very excited about being able to continue improving and snapping some pics on the big day, in my wedding gown!

At first glance, you may have some sticker shock, however an investment you make in both near-term results and long-term longevity is worth every penny. When you take a step back and look at what is spent on dinners, bars, etc., it’s pretty difficult to say this isn’t something you’ll see year-over-year returns on!

Managing my weight has been a life long struggle. I knew I needed accountability and that’s when I found Elias. To say I was intimidated of the program was an understatement but I knew I didn’t want to feel the way I did anymore. I’ve now been working with Elias for 4 months and have been able to lose 30 pounds without ever being hungry. All those fears I had of being able to stay the course have dissipated because frankly the program is not hard if you stay disciplined and stick to it. I expected physical changes but what I never expected to happen were all the emotional changes I’ve gone through. Not having food and alcohol as a crutch has made me get to know myself more than I ever have and practice self love. Most importantly anytime I felt any uncertainty in myself, Elias was there to have my back. Even when I thought I wasn’t making progress, his patience and support helped me through it. We’re still working towards my goals and we all know slow and steady wins the race but I’m so excited and impatient to see who I am becoming and the only reason that dream is even becoming a reality is because of Elias. I tell him this all the time and I’ll tell it to anyone even remotely considering working with him, he’s the best investment I ever made.

I am a 39 year old business professional in Human Resources that works a lot of hours. I am a husband and father of a 2 year old daughter. Over the last couple years, taking care of myself had taken a big back seat to other more pressing things. I had gained a lot of weight, and was generally unhealthy in both eating habits and activity levels. I weighted over 250lbs, by far the heaviest I have ever been in my life.

In December 2019 I had an annual physical (which I hadn’t done in a couple years). Obviously my doctor wasn’t thrilled with my numbers, and I knew that I needed to start making some big changes. I knew that if I wanted to be around for my wife and daughter, it was time for some drastic measures to be taken. I needed to find a nutritionist that could help me, as I knew I couldn’t do this on my own. I was recommended to Elias through a friend that had been working with him for a couple months. She and her husband were loving the results that they were seeing.

I provided all my info and most recent blood panel to Coach E, and about a week later on Feb 13th, 2020, we met in person to go through his plan for me. It was intense, I never imagined eating that much in one day and actually losing weight. 5 meals a day-wow! Fast forward 52 days (today), and I am down 28 lbs, my energy level is higher than ever, and I feel amazing. The meal plan that Coach E put together was absolutely perfect for what my body needed. And, the craziest part...I’ve not stepped foot in a gym. We’re talking nutrition only, with about 30 min of walking per day.

While I know the weight loss won’t continue at this pace, Coach E is teaching me how to make this a lifestyle change, and not just a quick diet. I still have a long way to go to get to my goal, but I have absolutely no doubt in my mind I’ll get there. I can’t say enough about what Elias has done for me, and the way he goes about treating his clients. He is tough, but fair. He puts in a ton of work for each client, and simply wants the same in return. He is there to answer any question I have, at almost all hours to the day...seriously I don’t know when the man stops working!

If you’re ready to make the change, and you’re willing to dedicate a significant amount of time and effort to do it, than Coach E is your guy! Hiring someone to do something like this for you is a tough decision. You’re paying to put your trust in someone. I’m here to tell you, I haven’t once had any second thoughts about writing that check. It’s truly an investment in myself, for my future, and for my family.

My journey with Coach E. began roughly 9 months ago. I saw a friends post stating Elias was one of the most knowledgable people he’d ever known regarding fitness & nutrition. So, I followed him, because at that time I was desperately trying to become a self taught fitness princess. Weeks later, I had been coming off one of my weekly benders…eat healthy, drink/binge on the weekend followed by days of feeling anxious. A cycle I'd been fighting for years. I do not remember what he posted that day. But, I do remember it agitated my soul. And there was no turning back. I accepted the fact I needed help & I believed whole heartedly he was the person to guide me.

As far as nutrition and training, he is very straight forward. You follow his plan, you will get great results. He says this all of the time & it’s really that simple. But, what he offers is so much more. I was using food, money, relationships, etc. to fill a void in my heart. When in reality money can fill your pockets, food can fill your stomach and relationships can fill your time…but they will never fill your heart. Coach E. is a prime example of a man whose heart has been filled. He has dedicated himself to making people their best. And if you trust the process, you will be one of those people. Thanks to him, I can genuinely say, I’m learning to fall in love with myself for the very first time. How cool is that?

1st off,I’m not getting paid 💰for this testimony!!!!😳😂 So my story: my weight was 210#’s, 3 months I lost 14#’s, next 6-7 weeks I did not drop a #!!!! So that’s when I contacted coach E, we met, discussed goals and what I had in mind and what coach E , thought . Also I filled out paperwork and we were off and running. I got my “plan/ program “ that is made differently for each person. I eat more now then before and I lost the weight and we reshaped my body and my mind!!!! Was it easy, if it would be easy everyone would do it, but if you have goals, a mind set, determination then it is a lot easier!!!! It’s not a diet, I will do this the rest of my life. I also look forward to my workouts 🏋️‍♀️, cardio and after about 22 weeks I started getting a cheat meal. So I went from 196#’s to my weight of 165#’s after 9 months and it’s fantastic!!!! So if you are the fence, strip down to your underwear and take a full length pic of your front, back and both sides. A pic is worth 1000 words!!!! Oh make sure you have coach E’s phone ☎️ # on speed dial, bc you won’t be to call him fast enough!!!! Coach E is not only the best, but he is a great friend also now. Thanks God Bless stay warm, and safe 😷

Working with Elias has been life changing. Before I get into all of that, here’s a little background on me in short. I’ve struggled with weight my whole life. In college, I reached 210 pounds and felt miserable. Physically, and mostly mentally. After college I really took control and was committed to getting healthier. I lost about 50 pounds, and kept it off for the most part for years. But I wanted more. By the time I hit 30, I was down to 128 pounds, but that was a lot of workouts and barely any food. Again, I felt miserable but you wouldn’t know it. At 36, I had had 2 babies, and lots of ups and downs in weight. I decided to get serious again. By 40 years old, I was about 140 lbs, eating healthy, working out twice a day (cardio in AM and lifting in PM) and feeling great.. with the help of 3 Advil twice a day. Yes twice a day.

Last September, I developed a rare condition in my joints, that landed me in the hospital for a week, unable to walk on my own. I was pumped with antibiotics, steroids, and other pain meds for maybe 2 months after that. I gained 15 pounds, lost a lot of hair, was sleeping horrible, and just felt overall miserable. Physically and mentally. In March, I finally started with Elias after thinking about it for a while. I was committed to feeling better. I didn’t want to take Advil anymore for all my pain, I didn’t want to feel bloated all the time, I wanted to feel good in my skin again!

Hands down the best thing I ever did for myself. I’ve been with him 6 months now, still workout twice a day, even harder than before.. and I haven’t taken one Advil since. At 42 years old, my body feels better than it ever has in my life! I’m eating more than I ever have, my hair is growing back, my skin has never looked this good, I’m sleeping through the night again, I lost that weight I gained from the medications- plus some, I can lift heavier, I have way more energy… the list goes on. (Also I can finally see my abs. Lol!) I became comfortable out of my comfort zone…. all because of Elias and his knowledge, his care, and his expertise.

Having someone by your side who cares enough to put their life on hold in that very moment to help you, is the best investment you can make. The best people to have in your life are the ones that don’t care what you want to hear. They’re the ones keep it real 100 % and tell you what you NEED to hear. Those are the ones that truly care about your well-being. That’s Elias. Having someone to hold me accountable is what I have been needing. Thank you a million times over for helping me work to reach my true potential in my health and fitness journey.. And we’re just getting started!

I started my journey wanting to compete in bodybuilding-bikini division. I had been working out and eating clean (or so I thought) for years, and decided it was time to get serious about my goals. I hired my first coach and right off the bat knew it wasn't a good fit. She worked me hard in the gym but didn't pay much attention to my nutrition. I recall showing her what I was eating in a typical day (fake meats, A LOT of dairy, processed food), she glanced at it for a few seconds and said "oh yeah, just do that".

Although the goal was to get me ready for a show, I felt my overall health wasn't a priority to her so I decided to look for another coach.

That's when I found Elias. I snooped on his Facebook and IG page and saw his clients were thriving, in great shape, and seemed serious about their goals.

I contacted Elias and he immediately set up a phone meeting (green flag #1). We talked for a good 30-40min and within the first 5 min, I KNEW I wanted to hire him.

He asked me about my current diet, my goals and any health issues I had (green flag #2).

At that time I was a vegetarian and weighed 140lbs. I was following a diet based on macros. I thought I was eating "clean", but I was also constantly bloated, only using the bathroom 2x weekly, had acne breakouts, mood swings, low libido, fatigue, depression/anxiety and massive brain fog.

A few weeks later, we got to work. I was overwhelmed as first, but trusted him and just did what he said. I've been in it 100% since day one and what I can tell you is this...

Within the first few months- chronic bloating, gone; acne breakouts, gone; mood swings, less severe; fatigue, gone; depression/anxiety, rare; brain fog, gone. Not to mention all the inflammation in my body decreased tremendously. I lost 20lbs with Elias in my first 6 months (I didn't even think I had 20lbs to lose).

I've been with Elias for a year now, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone and everyone I know.

He may seem rough around the edges, BUT he cares about you and your health.

Here are some more green flags about him in case you're still on the fence-

•He's speedy with reply's (like, within an hour or two at most).

•He follows up on any issues you may have along the way.

•He is in it 100% with you. I have never felt, for even a second, that he was not on the same page as me.

•He is extremely knowledgeable about health and nutrition.

I honestly don't know where I would be today if I hadn't met Elias and hired him. All I know, is that I hit the jackpot when I found him. Some people go through coach after coach before they find one that is the right fit.

If you are serious about your health, your goals and well being, Elias is the right fit every-time. I am so beyond grateful to this man.

When I started working with Elias I was just one meal away from hitting 200 lbs. I had issues with menstruation which my doctor placed me on several medications to treat, but the issue was never corrected, and my anxiety was at an all-time high. Basically, I was a mess. After just one month following the plan Elias laid out for me I was feeling more energetic and panic attacks were less frequent. I felt more calm and my mood was more stable. Fast forward 12 weeks and the problems with my cycle were corrected, I was off all medication related to the issue, and I had lost a lot of weight. People were noticing the changes not just on the outside, but from within as well. I was happier, more energetic, and panic attacks were nonexistent. I never knew how important food was to my mental wellbeing before this journey.

When I came to Elias my mood, weight, and binge eating habits were the biggest issues I was facing.I didn't know what normal eating looked like anymore. I have been with Elias for several months now and I am down approximately 30 lbs and my binge eating has improved significantly. I am by no means the perfect client, but it's a journey and I do my best. Working with Elias has taught me that food is not an emotional outlet. It's not here to comfort me on my bad days, and using food as a way to comfort myself will come back to hurt me tenfold. My body can no longer handle the binges I once thought were normal and drinking doesn't even appeal to me anymore as I see now how absolutely horrible I feel the next day. I believe my baseline for feeling "normal' was very low prior to working with Elias, and I had no idea just how unnatural it was for my body and mind to feel the way it did.

Working with Elias is not about a diet, for me it has been a life lesson. The lesson being that you can set a goal, even a small one every 6 days looking to improve from where you were the week prior. It's about creating a healthy relationship with food, and understanding the benefits of clean eating to not just your body but your mind as well. I have learned exercise is the fastest way to make a bad day good again, and that compromising leads to northing but regret.

Elias was there for me to lean on during a difficult period in my life, and he reminded me that I am the most important person. If I can't take care of myself, I certainly won't be able to take care of anyone around me. I assure you, if you can't lead from the front in your own life, no one will look to you for help.

If you are considering working with Elias, let this testimonial be the thing that pushes you to move forward. I assure you, it is worth every cent. He doesn't just hand you a meal plan, he provides you with an outline to your best life.

If you want to turn your life around to be your best self and don’t want to think about what or when to eat or how to workout, look no further. Elias is a God send for myself and many others. When in life have you ever met someone that wants you to succeed and thrive at something more than yourself? Thats very rare to find and this man does just that, he wants you to succeed and sets you up for it, in the event one fails that’s on them period, don’t give up and be lazy. His precision, knowledge and expertise is indescribable, if the world followed him there would be minimal hospitals and way less diseases out there, facts. My life and my incredible wife’s life have gotten turned around 360 degrees from Elias and in a short amount of time so far, physically and mentally, I am beyond thankful and appreciative of all he has done and continues to do for me daily. I went from eating unhealthy junk or starving my body thinking I’ll lose weight, being lazy and never working out to not even thinking about what to eat or how to workout because it’s laid out for me daily like white on rice. He literally does all the thinking and hard work that goes into my daily living for my own healthy benefit and again my success, all I do is make meals, eat a ton, workout and check in, I do the easy part. I wish I would have met coach 12 years ago when I lost 160lbs the unhealthy way, I can only imagine what this man could have turned me into in those years, now I am thankful to see what the next years brings. When my wife and I had covid, we didn’t take 1 pill, let that sink in a bit, no medicine and beat it in 2 weeks by the grace of God and due to Coach taking time out of his day guiding us daily, he is the real deal. It’s very simple, listen to and follow what he says to the T, don’t get off track, don’t question how when why, just do it, there’s a reason he said it. If you get a “cheat” meal, don’t actually cheat the system and go overboard, that’s a set back to failure, you don’t need the cheat meal. While weighing your food and you see 5.3oz on the scale and know you need 5oz take out the .3oz, there’s a reason he gives you 5 and not 5.3. If you think you’re working hard at it and maintaining, make that extra effort to work harder, chances are you’ll realize you have the push to be better. When you start getting compliments you look good, because you definitely will get compliments and a lot of them, use that to continue kicking butt and getting better. If you think you can mimic or continue the plan while off the plan, that ain’t happening, so listen, follow, be precise and give it your all and some. Be coachable and the rest is history if you want a healthy lifestyle!

When it comes to fitness and coaching, Elias is as good as it gets. He’s been operating at an elite level for quite some time which will become evident at your first interaction. For me, working with him is very simple. If you follow his guidance, you’ll get the results. If you don’t, you won’t. It hasn’t been easy, but I'm getting closer to having the physique and mindset I want. All thanks to his coaching and years of experience. I highly recommend him to anyone willing to do the work.

“I came to Coach E in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and a true low point in my life. The closing of the gyms had taken away an essential component of my happiness and overall mental health. I found myself consistently turning to food and alcohol to help cope with everything going on. As a result, I gained a significant amount of weight and lost the physique I had spent years building. Fearing I had lost years of work and feeling very lost, I briefly tried a few fad/trend diets that ultimately failed as they left me hungry and undernourished. Finally, I knew it was time to contact Coach E. As a friend from high school, I knew he was a results-driven, dedicated individual and more importantly, someone in whom I could trust. After reviewing responses to my initial client questionnaire, Coach E quickly turned around detailed nutrition and training plans.

The nutrition plan was clear, easy to follow, and saved me a significant amount of money on food expenses due to its consistency and limited scope of required grocery items. I was shocked at first to learn how much food I could really eat and lose weight after falling victim to the recommendations of most fad/trend diets. I was never really hungry the first 10+ weeks (we turned things up a bit the last two weeks to really lean up at the end of the program).

The training plan was brilliantly designed to increase strength through INTENSITY. I actually spent less time at the gym than when I was training myself!

At the end of the first ten days, I took my first photos and compared to my initial photos. I looked like a different person. From my face to my legs, my whole body looked leaner (despite the scale dictating only a couple of pounds lost). However, the changes spread far beyond my appearance. I noticed that my mental health improved immensely. I woke up energized each day, ready to execute on the day’s goals both personally and professionally.

At each subsequent check-in, I was ecstatic with my progress. I could tell Coach E was sincerely invested in my success through his frequent messages just to make sure I was doing ok and offer help/guidance if needed. He also made laser-focused modifications to my personal plan to ensure optimal effectiveness.

By the end of the program, I had not just regained my pre-pandemic physique. I had lost 20 pounds and was in the best shape of my life – both physically and mentally. Coach E brought me back from a true low-point, and I could not be more thankful. I can honestly say I plan to be a LIFE-LONG CLIENT.”

For years I attempted to get in the best overall health and shape. I did almost every diet regimen and workout plan I can find online, or in a book.

After failed attempt after failed attempt - I decided to go a route of personal coaching. I found Elias Ghazoul. Elias took a plethora of body information from me and tailored a diet and workout plan just for ME.

That diet regimen and workout plan would sometimes change weekly depending on how my body would react. Every time I came close to failing, Elias would provide the discipline that I would need to keep me going. Finally, I was able to reach meet my goals. Thanks, Coach E.

I starting working with Elias back in the Spring of 2015. I have always been involved with fitness and weightlifting. From Football and Track and field I always felt as long as I put the work in, from a physical stand point I could look the way I wanted to. It was never a matter of working hard, it was how I was working. This all came to head around when I was 29. I was unhappy. I was a defensive lineman and once my playing days were over and I came to grips with that I had to drop wait to become lean. I never took into account That it was what I was eating rather than the work I was doing. My lowest on my own in my early 20’s I shaved down to 205. By the time I was 29 I was gotten back up to 260. All while still lifting and running religiously. My friend from college football and who was prominent in world power lifting competitions, and had recently made the switch to body building recommended Elias to me.

You are always going to be skeptical because you have enough belief and trust in yourself so why would you listen to anyone else? I set out on this and regardless of where I was at that week I had to follow the plan Elias gave me. Now I am lower than 205 and during by cutting cycles we will never get below 192. I have learned to trust and enjoy this process. Elias has taught me that I do not need to be at the gym 3 hours a day, as long as I follow the diet plan he has given me combined with lifting I will reach my goals. His plan is not a cookie cutter, one size fits all routine. Those do not exist, regardless of what you see on tv, the internet, or magazines. Even if they do for a time and you gain muscle or lose weight they are not plans for longevity. Elias’ plan is constantly evolving with the needs of what my body is saying. Small changes can make the world of difference, and Elias sees that. I would, and have recommended Elias to many people. If you seek to look the best you ever had, and are all ready disciplined enough to be in a fitness routine you have nothing to lose. What you are feeding your body is what needs work. Elias is the best at it. He has helped me in so many aspects to realize and see what potential is there without spending hours at the gym.

I originally reached out to Coach E after seeing posts on IG from a friend whom was working with him. Social media is inundated with health “coaches” so I had always been hesitant to connect with anyone. When you are feeling lousy and not happy with your health, time and money are both valuable things and I had no idea whom to go with. I asked this friend about their experience with Elias and heard nothing but praise and this was from someone I completely trust, especially when it comes to fitness, diet, etc.

Taking that leap of faith was one of the best decisions of my life. My health story is long and complex but at a high level, I was very athletic until my late 20’s when I experienced a number of health issues that not only derailed my career as an attorney but also my life in general. At that age you tend to think you are bullet proof, but I went from being extremely active and fit, to essentially bed bound and ill. The journey over the next several years was long and defeating, from doctor to doctor, to hospital to hospital. I eventually realized getting back my ‘old self’ was going to take more than just popping a pill. While I had made some progress regaining my health, I just couldn’t get over the hump and get my good days to become the norm.

One of my biggest issues was GI related. I constantly had heartburn, bloating, nausea, appetite issues, etc. and they would seemingly result in systemic symptoms as well, like fatigue, brain fog, achiness, etc. Literally within weeks of starting to work with Elias these all started to fade and within a month or so I had absolutely zero remaining GI issues. These were issues I had been seeing GI docs for years at some of the most prestigious Boston hospitals. Their answer was always to throw Prilosec or some antacids at it and hope for the best.

Beyond fixing my gut Elias helped me regain my athletic ability and get in the best physical shape I have ever been in. I literally feel better at 40 than I have at any other point in my life. My wife was so impressed by the results she started working with Coach E as well, and the progress she saw was just as outstanding. We are now getting ready to welcome our first baby in July 2025. We 100% accredit our ease of getting pregnant, both of us 41 years old, to the work we put in with Elias, optimizing our gut health and hormones. My wife is getting ready to start another training block as she navigates the last couple trimesters of pregnancy and into post postpartum. We are excited for this next chapter and feel fully equipped to have the energy, health and focus to be great parents.

If you are on the fence just take the leap. Health is true wealth and you definitely don’t realize it until you start losing it, then it is all you can think about. I promise if you give what he instructs you to do a chance you will see results in all areas of your life. Yes it will likely be hard, but at the end of the day all you really need to do is follow instruction and put in some effort. The reward will be very much worth it!

Where do I begin? Our world was turned upside down in May 2025. My mother called me frantically short of breath on the phone. I immediately sent her to a local community hospital St. John Westshore in Westlake. She was diagnosed with moderate and physeal 42+ years of smoking they ordered a CT scan to be done at a later time. The results of that CT scan were on Father’s Day what we all dread came true she was soon diagnosed after further testing and biopsy with stage four lung cancer with where we are and modern Day medicine and all the scholarly journals I’ve had the pleasure to read and research. I knew that we had to do more than the traditional route. You can’t just hit it with chemo anymore maybe chemo actually isn’t the answer honestly. I reached out to my cousin Elias Ghazoul, who I know is very wise and the nutrition field to say the least we immediately got my mother set up on a nutrition coaching plan with Elias. Elias then continued to formulate not just her nutrition intake but her whole lifestyle I had to change suggested many other additional methods to improve my mother’s condition and care. I will say I saw a change in my mom. She was definitely concerned about her health but I know we were in good hands with Elias and his technique.

Over the next few months things were up and down good times scary times you name it very stressful but the beacon we had was Elias and it was a pleasure always knowing we could reach out to him whenever needed at any time of the day and he was very prompt with his response is very informative that couldn’t have been any easier fast-forward to February 2026.

Have all come back wonderful the doctors are astounded. We are astounded. I am beyond grateful for choosing to work with Elias from my mother’s care and highly recommend him in the future for anyone. This is a true testimonial. I won’t be able to get it out on paper in the proper fashion, but all the feelings that when I’m through this battle will last two lifetime. i’m telling you the things that went on during my mother‘s recovery shocked us all there was a lot of unexpected great occurrences that took place that I am still replaying over and over in my head due to have faith we really are. Elias‘s expertise level is unmatched when you hear about his journey and the reasons why he does what he does he will be ultimately taken back. Elias’s work speaks for itself. His methods are proven by his trial and dedication.

Although the 42+ years of smoking may not be the singular cause of my mother‘s cancer it was indeed a contributing factor. I fear we have been instructed or learned to drink and eat in somewhat the unsatisfactory method for our bodies. The body is a very strong entity, and when given the right information, it can remain strong and only get stronger funding off illnesses and ailments there are so many overlooked ways of dealing with issues. We immediately turn to the only trusted sources of treatment however we could definitely be going about this and a completely different fashion with clean intake that includes clean organic foods, and the appropriate cleansing techniques with drink and natural every day occurring supplements. Sometimes we need to step back and see the greater picture to know what we have been missing all this time. I haven’t seen my mother‘s energy change her mood and attitude change so much has changed in her life for the good since we started working with Elias. It’s spectacular to say the least what an incredible journey that is just beginning people have told me they think and feel that my mother appears to be 20 years younger.

Ever since I was young, I always had a little voice in my head telling me I wanted to be the best. Little did I know, one decision could change my life forever. Prior to starting with Coach E, I had seen numerous family members join him and have their lives completely transformed. I hesitated to join when I first started to see others’ results because I thought it was too difficult and would not be able to stay strict on myself. After seeing his transformations, I began trying new diets to take the weight off and finally realized that there are no shortcuts to losing weight and getting shredded. I finally joined Coach E’s team and noticed that it is really not that hard to get in shape because all the hard work is done for you, all you have to do is execute the plan. When I first joined, I wanted to do 12 weeks hardcore and see where I was. I fell in love with the results and the entire plan that I wanted to stay on for much much longer. Here I am over a year later and over 90 pounds down, we are just getting started. I have been with Coach E for about 14 months now and can honestly say this is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. Aside from crazy weight loss, I have gained so much more confidence and strength than I could’ve ever imagined. Coach literally does all the hard work for you, just do exactly as he says and you will be shocked with the results. He truly cares about his clients and their success more than they do. He will get you to your best if you just follow simple instructions. Coach has wicked fast turnaround time, from check-ins to emails, everything is done in minutes with complete precision. I have referred many family members to Coach E and have noticed life changing transformations. If I could give anyone some of the best advice there is, it would be to join Coach E’s team sooner rather than later.

I really just want to express how much I appreciate your guidance, and how much I've discovered - or rather been present enough to discover - since working with you. I didn't realize that focus was a skill to be fostered by nutrition. I knew sh*tty food and alcohol didn't help, but I didn't fully understand how nutrition could almost single handedly fix the mental side of things. I had my first Top 10 finish last week, and after the tournament I noticed how easily I was able to switch my focus off and on. I'm typically on the course for 5 hours at a time and I need to conserve mental energy where I can, so thinking efficiently and being present is a huge competitive edge. I compare it to having really high hrv where you can jump into action when necessary and then return to calm with ease. I experienced that mentally for the first time and it ultimately led me to my first Top 10 finish of the year. My mind and body feel cleaner than ever, and my entire being now craves that clarity. Momentum is building and I appreciate so deeply the ability to choose this lifestyle everyday. The return is more rewarding than any temptation to deviate, and I'm so very thankful for the detail you bring to coaching. It's wildly impressive. Almost magic. You get us to the point where our bodies heal themselves because they finally can. You write our plans and then we are empowered by the decision every day to follow them. There is soooooooo much liberation in that! Finding out your own potential is absolutely liberating! My quality of life has improved, my relationship with God and the Spirit has deepened, my professional career feels like it's about to sky rocket, and self-respect has taken on a deeper meaning for me all by working with you. We are going to CRUSH IT this year!!!! Thank you, E!

I met Elias almost 10 years ago while I was coming up in the bodybuilding world. We connected on common interests and have stayed in touch ever since. I had been working as a personal trainer for a few years and had previously worked around and with coaches who were nice people but didn’t have a clue what they were doing. Prior to having a baby, I felt good about how my body performed but postpartum was a totally different story. I wasn’t able to rely on my previous experience and knowledge because my body was a basket of hormones I wasn’t familiar with regulating. I quietly watched Elias post client after client success and internally battled with when I’d pull the trigger and work with him. I finally hit my rock bottom and asked for help! I’m so glad I did. I have a history of eating disorders and my first concern was “will working with a coach trigger old thought patterns” I can confirm, it did not. I was eating a good amount of food which kept increasing over the course of our first 24 weeks working together. My #1 goal was to feel good and have the energy to keep up with my now 1-year-old son and we achieved just that!! My next goal was to drop a few pounds, we did that and then some. I wanted to feel better and I do! I’ll never regret the decision to work with Elias.

Future team members,

Elias is not for everyone. His plans are not for everyone. This lifestyle is not for everyone. He is truly

great. He gives love unconditionally. He would die on the sword for anyone that he holds dear. He gives

his time and focus for his clients to theoretically succeed. When they do succeed, it is because of his

plan and the process. The process itself is stupid easy. Stick to the plan, do not deviate, and get truly

outstanding results.

I love training with all my heart. I have never followed a diet. I knew Elias would not work with me if I

could not commit. I had a brief stay at the hospital, as I do from time to time, because I have Crohn’s

disease. It was at this time, that I decided to get serious. Working with Elias was one of the hardest

things I have ever done, and it has by far been the most rewarding. I cannot wait to see what we

accomplish together in the near and far future.

I only say these things, because you will only truly be cheating yourself if you do not follow the plan. You

will have wasted his time and your money. If you are ready to commit and you truly want to see yourself

at a new personal best, then I urge you to move forward. Everything you want to accomplish is truly

within reach with Elias. He will not push you or anything aggressive. The results are in the process.

Sticking to the plan is monotonous, but you must learn to crave and love this process. He is not a baby

sitter, he is a coach.

He is a great part of my life. He adds tremendous value and I love gaining his trust and support. I only

want to do better and compete to drive others in our family to be truly great as well. I never plan on

going on a stage or anything like that, but I am proud to be part of an elite family that knows what it

takes to be great.

Something I see is people’s reservations about cost, but it is the best discipline and baseline money can

buy. If you want to set yourself up in other areas in your life, this gives you a huge mental break from

decision making. Your nutrition is completely handled in the hands of the best of the best. You will feel

better, look incredible, and push further because you have seen what you can accomplish.

I truly am grateful to have a Coach like him in my life, and I appreciate everything he has done for me. If

you are fully committed, I highly recommend him for coaching.

Love,

I’ve always been inspired by the definition of excellence….the endless pursuit of one’s true potential. It always made me think what life would feel like living at my true potential level.

It made me dream of what my true potential is. I knew I wasn’t where I had always envisioned before I started working with Coach E. Then I started seeing a trend. I began noticing that anyone I knew who started working with Coach E became excellent, they became the best version of themselves. This was a consistent trend across the board, at least 7 close family members transformed right before my very eyes with Coach E into the best version of themselves. That’s when I knew it was a MUST to take a leap and start working with Coach.

I’ve tried every workout plan ranging from personal trainers, internet trends, bodybuilding.com, noom, etc you name it. I’ve tried every diet fad ranging from keto, intermittent fasting, calorie counting, nutritionists, the quick 2 week starve yourself for the next trip or wedding. These methods do work and you can find good results, BUT after 2-3 good months always found myself gaining it all back. I’ve gained and lost over 70 lbs four times in my life. I called myself the human Yo-Yo. I was on the pursuit of figuring out why this always happens and how can I prevent this from happening again.

I’m 33, a doctor, few months away from being a Cardiologist and knew I needed to make a change. Unfortunately they don’t teach us proper exercise and nutrition in medical school. The healthcare system is broken in regards to health and wellness, they think surgery or diet pills (diuretics, diabetes medication, phentermine) is the answer however that doesn’t get to the root of the problem and actually has a multitude of side effects and health risks (that no one talks about). Doctors do not know what proper nutrition and exercise actually is. It’s not our fault, Western medicine just never properly trained us on it. Knowing I was going to have a direct impact on the health of thousands of patient’s lives, I knew I had to walk the walk myself.

I had a few family members join Coach E….every single one quickly became the best versions of themselves. It was a noticeably obvious difference.

I then decided to take the plunge, put my ego aside as a doctor in his 30s and let go to Coach E.

Coach E provided for me two things that are essential to a successful life and body transformation. 1. Personalization and 2. Accountability. He provides a personalized nutrition and training plan. He holds you accountable to checkin every week. You can’t cheat or fake pictures. He then makes micro nutritional adjustments weekly like a scientist. And most important, he TRULY cares about YOUR success more than you yourself do. And that’s what no other plan in the world has.

Heads up, first 3 months with Coach E are foundational months. He creates this machine the first 3 months. All the magic happens right after the 3rd month. Then keeps getting better and better and better.

My best piece of advice is to completely buy in sooner.

People say your metabolism is dead after you turn 30. I 100% completely disagree. I’m 33, went from 266 lbs to 191 lbs, have abs for the first time in my life, feel better than I did in high school and in the BEST shape of my life. Coach E has completely transformed my life and I am living the vision of the best version of myself I’ve always dreamed of. Best part…we are just getting started.

I trust Coach E with my life, refer every patient I have to him and also trust my reputation as a doctor in his hands. I also give him full autonomy on any one of my patients because I 100% trust in him and his methodology. I’m truly excited because I believe Coach E’s methods will cure over 80% of diet and obesity related diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. It’s not a pill, it’s proper health and nutrition that can ultimately result in you getting off the blood pressure and diabetes medications. I’ve always referred every family member who is willing to transform their lives and actually commit to greatness to Coach E, including my own mother. That’s how much I believe in Coach. This is a no brainer for anyone who truly wants to transform their lives.

Excellence starts and ends with Coach E.

Elias knows what he is talking about! I came to him in September of 2019 defeated, depressed, and overweight. I've always struggled with my weight and had been trying to manage it with diet food, fad diets, keto, intermittent fasting...you name it, I've tried it and always with A LOT of exercise. I would do two a day workouts routinely: 30 minute - 1 hour HIIT workouts, Crossfit classes and then go run 3 miles. My mindset was I have to do more and crush myself to feel good about my effort. It worked for a little while. Until one day in November 2016 when my body just gave out. Too much stress from work, family related stress from a struggling child going through clinical depression and I ended up with adrenal fatigue and a full hysterectomy. I was in a position where I couldn't help myself anymore. The hysterectomy sent me straight into menopause and a deep depression I couldn't get myself out of. When my kids asked why I wasn't every happy any more, I knew I wasn't myself and I needed help.

Doctors say they can help, but they don't listen. I've tried every natural hormone to get myself back to feeling like my old self and nothing worked. All it did was add 15-20lbs and self doubt. I would describe how I felt, what I was doing and my doctors would change my medication without asking any questions about sleep, stress, food or analyzing my blood work. Each appointment felt like a random guessing game.

Fast forward to meeting Elias. He didn't make any presumptions, he didn't guess what I should be doing or assume what I had been doing. He had me write out in detail everything I ate, how I felt, supplements I was taking and the types and frequencies of exercise I did. Then we had several in depth phone calls. Right away I knew from his questions and they way he described us as being a "team" I knew he cared about my health. He even went with me "virtually" to the grocery store so that I picked out the best food. He listened, analyzed, and created a plan. I have never had this kind of personal one-on-one care from anyone before! If I had a question I called or sent a text and he responded immediately. He was never too busy!

Elias is a professional in all that he does! He created a detailed nutrition and exercise plan tailored just for me. Amazing! And I lost weight right away eating more food than I ever had before and not doing ANY cardio or lifting. Only walking. Who knew? He changed my mind about how to treat my body, not only from the food I ate but in dealing with stress and the importance of getting 7-8 hours of sleep. He expects precision, because he wants what is best for ME. He is not afraid to call me out when I haven't stayed on track because it is in my best interest. From day one I have always felt I am a number one priority, not just a client, but family. And he treats everyone this way. Giving his heart and dedication and time to everyone. I haven't always stuck to the plan 100% because sometimes I think I know better, haha, and I revert to old habits such as a spin class a day followed by a run. I always come back to the plan because when I stick to the plan, I feel amazing! Coach knows best! :)

I've learned less is better and mindset is everything! Elias has been there at my breaking points, my lowest of low's and knows how to show me breathing techniques and positive mindset advice to get me back on track. He's also encouraged me to throw out the scale. And this has been huge! Finally I am to the point where I feel like the old me! Full of energy, vitality, jumping out of bed in the morning ready to go, happy and losing weight and looking leaner every week. And all without any hormone medications! All I can say is I wish I would have met him earlier!!

Thank you Elias for being the rock that keeps me focused on being better, answering all of my questions, and caring for my well being sometimes more than I care for myself. You are truly talented at what you do and you have the heart behind it to make everyone a success if we just stick to the plan. :) I can't wait to see what the future holds!

Before contacting Coach E, I had been wanting to get better, to feel and look better than I was, I wasn’t sure how

to start but I tried to do it on my own in different ways: exercise, eating less/‘healthier’, cutting carbs, intermittent

fast etc … I’d keep trying different things but I still felt like something was missing, I had many questions, I felt lost

and I couldn’t make any progress…

Since the very first time I saw pictures and read of the people working with him I thought: “I want to do that!” but I

also thought “it must be hard” … for almost a year I kept feeling so uncomfortable with my body and thinking “We

should call him”, finally this year my husband a I made the decision to take action and contacted him… We’ve

completed the 1 st phase and I am convinced that is one of the best decisions we’ve made!

As I thought, it is not easy but what makes it difficult is that the results depend 100% on each individual’s

dedication and effort, but I couldn’t be more grateful with the fact that Coach E gives us all the tools, direction,

personalized training and nutrition plan, supplements, responds to any question that I could have in a matter of

minutes, follows up when necessary, shares important facts that at least for me work as the inspiration to keep

going, to push myself to do the right thing (That’s what I was missing!); every time that I feel tired, sore, that I

don’t feel like eating this or that, I always think of one of the first things he wrote to us: “You will feel worse

before you feel great. You will go through more bad days than good, this is part of the process…enjoy the

process”… and that’s what I’m doing: enjoying the satisfaction of reaching an even have exceeded the first goal,

working towards our new goal step by step, even during the ‘bad’ days the purpose is there.

I’ve started to feel better, I’m at peace knowing that the improvements are coming from the inside out and that

every day that we follow the plan that Coach E has designed for us is taking us closer to a better version of

ourselves.

From the many things that coach E shares with us I’ve learned that and just to mention a few:

Purpose is key, motivation doesn’t last.

Without discipline no one can get satisfactory results.

There are no shortcuts if we want to make progress the natural way.

We are the result of our own choices.

We’ll hardly feel ‘ready’ to change the lifestyle that have/had us in a bad place, is about making the decision.

I feel grateful for the opportunity to have Coach E as our coach, I’m happy with the results I’ve experiencing so far

and I trust that following his direction/guide I will be able to reach every goal we set.

I’ve have already recommended him, and I will do it every time that somebody asks, without a doubt.

I cannot speak highly enough about Coach E. I finally decided to do something for ME and this is hands down one of the best decisions I ever made. We first hired Coach E for my husband because I was just going to do it on my own. After 15 days, the change in my husband was phenomenal. I couldn’t believe it when looking at his pictures. Such a difference in just 15 days! And I was still stuck in the same place. After trying to do it on my own and not getting anywhere, I knew I just had to hire Coach E for me to see change. BEST. DECISION. EVER. My friends and family couldn’t believe my progress. And now, a handful of them have also joined #TeamNutrition! That alone speaks volumes.

A few things stopping me from doing this was fear of the amount of time it would take, should I spend money on this, and will it interfere with my schedule. Best part of all my fears is that this has now become a lifestyle change! And for the better! I have never looked and felt healthier!

Coach E is worth it! He gives you all the tools you need, you just execute! Follow his program he creates for you and you are guaranteed results! He is dedicated to his clients, is all about communication, has a heart of gold, and pushes you to want to be your best self. I can honestly say I am living my best life right now. And that wouldn’t be happening without the guidance of Coach E. (And this is coming from someone who hates cardio and loves food! I still do no cardio and I eat delicious food!)

The beginning of 2022 was a challenging period in my life. My mother was battling pulmonary fibrosis, and I found myself constantly shuttling back and forth to Canton to assist my father as much as I could. In the midst of this, I was neglecting my own well-being – eating sporadically, consuming whatever was available, relying on antidepressants, and consuming an excessive amount of caffeine. It's remarkable how, when someone is gradually fading away, food seems to be ever-present, arriving from neighbors, co-workers, and, invariably, consisting of unhealthy options. Before I knew it, I was caught in a whirlwind, weighing around 210 pounds. I often watched shows like "My 600-lb Life," and friends would express their disbelief at how someone could reach such a size. However, after experiencing what I was going through, I could empathize more than ever at the comfort food brought me.

What added to the irony was that I'm a personal trainer – someone who knows exercise, nutrition, and proper eating habits. I felt myself descending down a path towards extreme weight gain, and I realized I needed to regain control of my life.

Over the years, I've trained with some of the finest functional strength coaches, powerlifting trainers, and personal trainers, and one thing I've learned is that excellent trainers continually seek to learn from even better trainers. While I had a grasp of the basics of nutrition, I recognized that I was still very much a novice. That's when I reached out to Coach Elias, who was recommended to me by a friend. Initially, I hesitated because I didn't want anything to interfere with one of the few remaining joys in my life – eating. Nevertheless, I decided to dive in.

Since I'm not much of a cook, it wasn't an easy transition, but I eventually got the hang of it. Almost immediately, I began to feel better – not just physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. Looking back, I realized this was exactly what my mother needed at the time. She didn't need someone who was miserable, unhappy with the situation, and unhappy with himself. I distinctly recall feeling mentally sharper after about three weeks. I stopped taking the antidepressants and continued on this path.

What truly convinced me of the program's effectiveness was a remarkable incident. After working with Elias for around five months, I was in bed with my mom, watching TV. When I stood up to get something for her, my knee wouldn't straighten out, and the pain was excruciating. Following an ER visit, doctor's examination, and MRI, they informed me that a piece of bone had broken off in my knee and become lodged in the joint. To provide some context, I've had two knee reconstructions and two meniscus tears from sports injuries over the years, so my knees were far from pristine. I was told that due to my advanced arthritis, the recovery for bone removal and meniscus repair would be 6-8 weeks.

I'm accustomed to knee surgeries, so initially, I didn't mind. However, this surgery was unlike any I'd experienced before. They extracted a marble-sized calcified bone chip that had formed over the years. When I emerged from surgery, they asked if I needed pain medication, but to my surprise, I felt no pain. They kept me under observation longer, but the absence of pain persisted. The next day, they called to inquire about pain, and I confidently replied that I felt none. In fact, I was already walking over a mile on the operated knee within five days, and within 2 weeks, I felt 100%. This was truly unprecedented, considering the numerous surgeries I'd undergone in the past, some of which left me incapacitated for months. I can only attribute this rapid recovery to the dietary changes, improved sleep, increased hydration, reduced inflammation, and accelerated healing of my body.

My mother passed away in August of that year, and I couldn't fathom enduring her loss while my own life and health were in shambles. In that moment, I had to shoulder an enormous burden for my family and those around us, and I'm not sure I could have done it had I still been feeling miserable.

I often tell people that prioritizing my health and working with Elias is the most important thing I've ever done for myself. I've never felt better, and I can say this with certainty because I've never truly felt good until now. I've recommended countless individuals to Elias, and those who have stuck with it constantly thank me. My workouts have become more enjoyable, waking up is a pleasure, sleeping is restful, and I'm in the best shape of my life. Remarkably, I have no knee pain whatsoever. The only regret I have is that I waited as long as I did to start. I cannot thank Coach Elias enough for what he has done for me.

As a busy working mom, I definitely needed guidance on what to eat and how to work out effectively. Working with Elias has been a life-changing experience! From the very beginning, he has been incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and dedicated to helping me achieve my health and wellness goals. Like he says, “My name is on it, so I want you to be successful!”

From the very first session, Elias took the time to understand my goals, challenges, and lifestyle. He created a customized plan that was both challenging and achievable, ensuring that I stayed on track every step of the way. Regular check-ins and progress reviews kept me motivated and focused, and I always felt supported, even on the toughest days. When life does get tough, I still want my healthy foods and I still want to work out because I love what I am doing!

The nutrition advice was a game-changer. Elias helped me understand what to eat, when to eat, and how to balance my meals to fuel my body properly. I learned so much about making healthier choices without feeling deprived. My toddlers are also enjoying the healthier meal options! The meal plans were easy to follow and delicious, making it simple to maintain a healthy diet even with my busy schedule. Once I learned how to correctly meal prep – it then made my life so much easier!

The workout plans were equally impressive. Elias designed efficient and effective routines that I could easily fit into my limited time. The exercises were varied and engaging, which kept me motivated and excited to continue. The more results I saw the more excited I was to keep going! I knew I was also setting a positive example for my children. By becoming a healthier version of myself I was then becoming a healthier mom to keep up with them!

Elias combines expert knowledge in nutrition and fitness with a genuine passion for helping clients succeed. His ability to push me to reach my potential while also providing encouraging support has been invaluable. Structured accountability helped me develop healthier habits, stay consistent, and ultimately achieve my health goals. I have seen remarkable improvements in my physical fitness, energy levels, and overall well-being. Elias has not only helped me transform my body but also my mindset towards health and fitness.

I highly recommend Elias to anyone looking to improve their health and wellness. He is truly a game-changer and an exceptional health coach!

Stop reading all these reviews because the results speak for themselves! Just hire him now – you will not regret it!

Thank you, Elias, for all that you do! You are THE best!

Coach Elias is magnificent! Upon entering my nutrition journey, I was being broken from the chains of the past, old self limiting beliefs, the people that held me back, the mindsets I must transform, the body I wanted to transform, my soul being renewed to the point that I was awakened to question: what am I running to for “comfort” when emotions arise & stressful challenges occur? I was not prepared for what was to be shown to me during my nutrition journey! It took A LOT of awakening, courage, grit, Holy Spirit, wisdom, joy, fight, determination, failing, strength, pain and rising above it all! Coach Elias exemplifies excellence in every move he makes, he cares about my results more than I do a lot of the times. Coach Elias is a man full of Godly wisdom, knowledge, honor, trust, integrity and he shows up EVERY TIME. I am grateful every single day that I am working with Coach Elias and I look forward to growing into the absolute best version of myself. In 5 months, and maybe it happened before that, one day I decided to do multiple pull ups and without any assistance my strength felt so powerful! My strength, health and body have never felt and looked as amazing as it does today! He is the best nutritionist, coach and trainer out there! Coach Elias warns us to drop anyone who doesn’t support our vision and I didn’t realize what he was saying until I finally experienced it. I always hear non sense that when you get older, this stops and this slows down, now I don’t believe any of it at all. My dentist even said I need a root canal and Coach Elias is so experienced and knowledgeable in all areas that he told me no, do this instead. I felt so seen and protected that he was on my side! Always looking out for his clients best interests and really wants the absolute very best for them! The appreciation I have for Coach Elias is an understatement. My whole entire life changed due to Coach Elias and the work we’ve been doing and continues to change daily. I have people coming up to me now asking what I am doing & I tell them about Coach Elias every time. I never knew what embarking on this journey with Coach Elias really meant, if you are thinking about it, I’d never even think twice! Your body and mind will thank you for it. It’s not even just a transformational journey for how we look on the outside, it’s a whole transformation journey inside and out. Truly grateful- Carol Khalaf

I’ve been working with Elias Ghazoul for nearly 9 months, and interestingly enough, 9 months is on my mind, since my wife and I are expecting our second child together here in a few months. It’s amazing to think that a life can be created in just 9 months! But 9 months is relevant to my personal situation too, because as I approach the completion of my 3rd 12 week phase with Elias, I feel like a new man in a new body.

Like most people I had sold myself on the fact that running a business, frequent travel, and age were all my enemies. These were my reasons…or better yet my “excuses” for why I couldn’t be in good shape. At 39 years of age, my wife and I had our first child together (I have a daughter from a previous marriage), and I started to do the math. By the time Troy was going to be out of high school I would be approaching 60 years old. There’s nothing like math to give you some perspective.

I was only 39 years old but I was out of shape, I was tired, I was sluggish, and it felt like everything that had made my youth so enjoyable was slipping away. I had a baby at home and a wife that was 10 years younger than me. I thought that the only path for me to get back to “the old me” was through hormone replacement therapies like TRT. Then I talked to Elias, and he assured me that it wasn’t my body that was “messed up” but rather what I was putting into my body, my lifestyle, and my habits—all things he was sure he could help to correct as long as I was willing to reciprocate his level of dedication and execute the plan.

I was desperate but I wasn’t looking for a solution—it was a happenstance conversation one day with Coach E, followed by a phone call, followed by me thinking, “What do I have to lose?” I figured I would give it a shot for 90 days, realize that “unlike other people” I really was too busy, my life too stressful, and my environment too hectic for me to be able to make the necessary changes. Coach told me, “You have to try to fail with me.”

“Alright, let’s see what you’ve got.”

The first 90 days I went through a massive transformation. I dropped over 25 pounds, made major adjustments to my lifestyle, and I realized something very important: “You don’t realize how bad you feel until you start feeling good.” And that’s exactly what happened. In just 90 days I was OK with rarely having a sip of alcohol, with the habit of measuring my food “to the gram,” with the workouts, and with the check-ins. Why? Because not only was I becoming a better version of myself, but I realized I’m an example to my family (especially my kids), my co-workers, and my friends. Was the example I was setting before in line with the person I wanted to become? No way. And besides, I wanted to be around for my kids (and grandkids), and I didn’t want my beautiful wife who is 10 years younger than me to trade me in for a newer model :-)

In all seriousness, here’s what I’ve come to learn about Elias Ghazoul: he cares more than you care about yourself, he is demanding because he uniquely understands the consequences of poor nutritional decisions than I do, and he is worth trusting. In today’s world there aren’t a lot of people you can really trust, but when it comes to fitness and nutrition, I trust Elias unequivocally.

Is he tough? Well, can you think of many things you’ve attained in your life that were worthwhile and at the same time required little to no sacrifice? I can’t think of any. He’s tough—but he earns the right to be tough. Why? Because of his level of care and attention. It’s easy to play hard when you know your coach I watching every minute detail and thinking about all the ways he can help you get better. Here’s a small story: Elias added BCAA to my program in the second phase. I told him I had some from “before” that I could use. He asked me to send him the label. Immediately he called me—not text or email—and said “Please don’t put that in your body. Those have artificial colors in them.” Now, if that doesn’t tell you that he cares about EVERY detail, I don’t know what would demonstrate it. But it’s more than knowledge, it’s also care, concern, and attention to detail. The urgency in which he addressed this issue is the way he addresses all health related matters when it come to his coaching.

What I thought would be a 90 day “attempt” at improving my health, is now a lifelong commitment and I hope Elias Ghazoul does this for a long time. His attention to detail, responsiveness, knowledge, and the amount this man cares is really remarkable. I recently turned 40 and had a full physical—every indicator of my health from my blood pressure to EKG to bloodwork came back with dazzling results. I have more energy than I had 10 years ago. Now I want to go into 50 better than I went into 40. I know with Coach E’s help, that’s going to be a reality.

Your health, your life, your livelihood, your quality of life—these things are priceless—and the gift I’ve been given by Coach E is just that—priceless. He deserves my respect, loyalty, commitment, and endless appreciation for giving me my “life” back!

Thank you,
