Q: Do I have to be an “elite” athlete to train with you?
A: Not at all; We can help you achieve your fitness goals no matter who you are! Athletes possess some of the most impressive physiques in the world. That’s because of the high level of training and nutritional guidance that they receive. At EATS our specialty is training athletes, but that doesn’t mean that you have to be one to train with us. We train hundreds of general fitness clients too! Where we differ from personal training companies is in the training. We train our fitness clients using the same techniques and philosophy’s we incorporate into training our athletes. These scientifically backed techniques will help to bring out the inner athlete in you and the only side effect is a more athletic and fit body!! If you are a former high school or college athlete trying to get back in shape for recreational sports or just a fitness client looking to reap the benefits of athletic performance training and drop a few pant or dress sizes we can help you get to where you want to be![Return to top]

Q: When can I train?

Q: What age is it safe for my child to start strength training?
A: This is a difficult question to answer generically as it really depends on the physiological (and sometimes psychological) maturity of the child. For the most part, most children are ready to participate in a supervised strength training program when they are 13 or 14 years old. For a specific evaluation and consultation on your child, please call our main office at 240.498.9647.

Q: How long do I have to train to see results?
A: This is another difficult question to answer. How quickly you see results varies from person to person and depends on factors such as sex, age, current fitness level, training frequency, training intensity, overall activity level, and nutritional habits. However, most of our clients begin to see and feel a “difference” in 3-4 weeks.
