I started training with Elliott a few weeks after my 41st birthday. I came in as a tired, stiff, regular dude who hadn’t been to a gym in 2-3 months. In Oct. of 2012 I started the Nutritional Advantage program and have never turned back. Elliott taught me how to further dial in how I was eating before and after work-outs, how to take in the right foods and supplements to help me recover, and build muscle, and even what to eat to sleep better at night. And once I added consistent mobility exercises to my regiment the results in how I performed during training and how I’ve been able to simply move pain free has been astonishing. Thanks so much to my coaches – who I can now call friends.

The nutrition guidance from Elliott has been terrific for me. As a woman over 40 who is not truly overweight, I had been unable to lose weight or fat. In 5 weeks, my body fat went down 2.2 percent and I gained 1.8 percent muscle, doing the same amount of exercise. My clothes fit much better now. In short, I’ll be staying with my nutrition plan for long long time. Thanks to Elliott for all the help.

Working with Elliott has been a life changing experience for me. In the last 5 months, I have become stronger, leaner, healthier, happier and wiser. It has given me the tools to become a better version of myself. Even when I was injured, he tailored workouts and motivated me not to give up on my fitness goals. As a result I recovered in half the time! Thanks to the encouragement and education I received, I think the biggest win is my attitude change towards food. My entire life I had nutritional deficiencies, and recently I got perfect blood test results! I used to literally starve myself and go on juice cleanses to lose weight. I now look at food as fuel and think about beauty completely differently. Thank you for changing my life!

Before I began training with Elliott, I was weighing 315 pounds and carrying 34% body fat. Simple tasks such as walking up a flight of stairs and bending over to tie my shoes were difficult. After 12 months of Elliott’s coaching and nutritional advice, I weighed 235 pounds. That’s 80 pounds – gone! That’s why I’m happy to recommend Elliott. He’s passionate about health and fitness, and it’s reflected in his breadth of knowledge and his ability to give targeted, sound advice. He can quickly diagnose issues with lifting technique, which kept my exercises safe and helped me get stronger faster. In addition, I’ve received more valuable, pertinent nutritional advice from Elliott than from any diet book or blog post.

I travel a lot so I’ve been to a few CrossFit gyms around the US. As a visitor from San Fransisco, I dropped in for a group CrossFit class with Elliott, and he delivered on every account. He took the time to instruct us all on the skills/movements to prepare for the workout. During the workout, he circulated around the room providing feedback to all the athletes, making sure form and technique weren’t compromised for speed or weight. If I learn something new and get a little better, it’s a good day and a good coach. Check and check.

When I first started working with Orion, it was hard work and I had to modify a lot of the movements as i tried to build up my strength and mobility. Throughout my entire experience, the coaches have been fantastic offering a wealth of knowledge while continuing to be incredibly motivating every day. And since adding the Nutritional Advantage program, I have seen amazing progress in weight loss, strength, and day-to-day energy. I FEEL GREAT!!! Thank you Elliott for being so great at what you do. I would not have made the progress or become anywhere close to where I am without the help and motivation from great coaches. You guys are really inspiring.

This is simply to express gratitude at the excellent guidance given by Elliott to us. I have followed his nutrition plan religiously, and have reduced my weight by almost 16 kgs (I was 86 kgs+ earlier, and am approx 70 kgs now)!!! The most amazing part about his nutrition plan is that I can eat all the right things “in abundance”. With this reduced weight, I feel much healthier, and am generally happier because of the new look. So, Elliott, thank you very much for the time that you spent with us. It has had a transformational effect on me, and others too.
