    This is my second blog in a 3-part series on the Rock City Fitness training approach.  Today I will be discussing Progression. Progression The basic concept of progression is forcing your body to do more work than it did before.  Your body is designed to adapt to demands that are placed on it.  So, with progression, we [...]

    I worked with Eric as my trainer for just over one year before leaving the USA.  Having had personal trainers for the past 4 years, and I can adamantly state that Eric is fantastic!  My goal was not for anything specific, but just to maintain what I had built up and increase leg strength to allow me to enjoy golfing and skiing. 

    Even though I am over 50 and have various aliments, Eric was able to push my limits but be sensitive to any health issues.  His explanations of the various exercises we would do allowed me to train on my own in between sessions.  For the first time in years I was able to ski every day without any pain! 

    Even though I am now living overseas, I love visiting the website and checking in on what great things Eric is doing with his clients.

    I have a unique perspective as a client of Rock City Fitness, as I have a background both as an athlete and health professional.  I am a prior college athlete who started at a NCAA division 1 football program and has since become a cardiologist.  I wanted to have a personal trainer who could relate to the intensity of my college training, but could adapt to my needs for health and fitness as an adult in my 40′s.

    As most busy parents with full-time careers know, time is precious, and our most valuable commodity. So finding someone who could put me on track to become healthy after getting “comfortable” was essential.  Eric’s background as an athlete helps tremendously, but what impresses me most is his understanding of structure and function of human anatomy and the application of an exercise routine that is efficient, challenging, and effective.

    I have lost 30 pounds and dropped my body fat percentage to less than 15% in a 6 month period guided by Eric’s training and knowledge.  The energy I now have to give to my work and family is limitless, and I feel like I am an athlete again.  What is most impressive is how my patients recognize the changes, which I hope will inspire them to be more fit.  How about you?

    I have been training with Rock City Fitness for one year.  Eric Maust designed a routine to fit my goals and my schedule.  In-home workouts 1-2 times weekly has allowed me to lose over 30 pounds and cut my body fat in half!

    The one hour sessions fly by as the exercises never seem to repeat.  If a total body workout and the results that come with it are what you are searching for then Rock City Fitness is all you need.  Give it a try.  You will not be disappointed.

    Eric is well educated about the body and its mechanics and movement.  He is able to create interesting programs that accomplish both general fitness and strength, and address specific issues such as back problems or nerve related muscle functions.

    He has a treasury of different exercises which keep the sessions so entertaining that you do not realize you are getting a cardio workout until you are out of breath!

    I originally decided to work with Eric to get myself in shape for the Detroit Tigers fantasy camp.  Eric introduced me to a whole new style of training that I was not accustomed to.  Eric’s workouts included much more than traditional weight lifting exercises. We worked on flexibility, core training, balance, agility and total body conditioning.

    Eric also provided a cardiovascular conditioning schedule and nutrition plan.  Furthermore, Eric’s program addressed limitations I have with my lower back.  Not only did my back stay healthy, but it became stronger and better functioning.

    The results of the training program were outstanding.  I had a very successful fantasy camp, hitting the ball farther than I ever had.  I was able to play every inning of all 12 games – 84 innings in a 5 day period.  My body changed dramatically with the training as well.  Over a 12 week period, I lost 23 pounds, cut 6% body fat and my strength increased by 60%.

    I have an ongoing training program with Eric and he does a great job adapting my workouts to meet any new goals I have.  I highly recommend Eric and Rock City Fitness!

    In my field of work as a professional motorcycle racer, it is very important to be in peak physical fitness. I need to be able to get on my bike and know that nothing is going to slow me down.

    Eric has a mixed in a good balance of strength, speed and cardio into my workouts. I started working with Eric in my off season back in 2005.  Going into that next season, I immediately noticed a difference in my strength and fitness on the motorcycle and I owe that to Eric.

    Team up with Eric to define your own goals. As demanding as the programs are sometimes, stay on course, enjoy the journey, and you, too, will see results.
