Physiques Fitness by Elvira -

I've been active my whole life, but after 2 very sick pregnancies, I had lost a lot of muscle and gained fat. I wanted to work with someone to learn what my body needed to gain muscle and lose fat - someone who could personalize a program for me. I found Elvira online and I liked that she seemed very knowledgeable about fitness and could help reset my diet as well (since we all know that diet is so important). I also wanted someone that could work with some injuries/chronic conditions. I really liked that she seemed to care about her clients. We met and went over my goals and schedule then met a few days later for my first workout. She weighed and measured me first and within a day or two she had my diet. My workouts are challenging and she always pushes me, but listens if I really can't do something. After 3 weeks, we reassessed and I had lost 10 lbs of fat and gained 2.5 lbs of muscle. My body fat percentage was down about 4.5%. This is the type of progress that I was looking for. I know that it will slow down, but it was motivating to see such quick results. I would recommend Elvira to anyone. You have to be willing to put in the hard work, but she knows her stuff and can really help you achieve your goals.

I’ve been skinny my whole life, and I haven’t had to worry much about my weight. However, as I entered my late 50s, my body changed and fat started collecting around my stomach. No matter what I did to fight it, it kept growing. I was perplexed about how to lose it. To make things more complicated, my rheumatoid arthritis made most fitness exercises undoable for me. I needed someone who knew how to help me lose belly fat, maintain a healthy weight, and care for my joints.

I googled “fitness trainer arthritis over 50” and Elvira’s website popped up. I couldn’t believe that she specialized in people over 40 with health issues! Although it seemed the perfect fit, I was a bit skeptical. The testimonials of her online program seemed too good to be true, so I wondered if it might be a scam. After talking with one of her long-term clients, my concerns were put at ease.

I began meeting with Elvira for live coaching calls and live virtual training. I was skeptical about meeting and working out online, but it works! It’s much easier than going to the gym! Within a short time, I noticed big changes. My belly fat not only started melting away, but the rest of my body started looking better too. I also had more energy. I thought it was too late for me to develop muscles and get a flat stomach, but Elvira’s plan worked. I look better now than I did decades ago!!

Elvira is unique. She is more than just a fitness coach or health trainer. She brings all of her experience and expertise to develop a personalized nutrition plan, fitness program, and coaching just for you.

If you think it’s too late for you, it isn’t. Get in touch with Elvira. She knows what to do to help you. I highly recommend her.

My goal was for balance and strength. I have had a full knee replacement a year ago and prior to that back surgery. But now I was traveling to Egypt for a challenging adventure of endurance of 14 days. I found Elvira and we trained for my trip. The website said she specializes in older clients. I am 76 and this was exactly what I needed. We met the goals and I walked 3-5 miles a day in uneven terrains. I recommend training with Elvira.

Started with Elvira 5 years ago. Approaching 49 years old and not happy about my proportions at that time, I googled trainers and contacted a few, including Elvira. She was my first consultation appt and my last - I cancelled the other appts because I knew in my head and my heart she was the right trainer and coach, and no one else was going to come close to what she was going to be able to do for me. My intuition was right! Here I am now at 54 years old, one of the strongest and fittest women at the gym, with body fat down to 18% from 33% when she first measured... I have muscle mass I never thought I'd have because I wasn't a body builder. I have strength and endurance like never before. Her program is highly individualized, there is no "one program fits all". She guides my specific nutritional (meal) plans according to where I am with muscle mass and body fat at any given time. She says, "We need to feed your muscles!"... and my muscles enjoy all kinds of foods in the right portions and right groupings every day. Anyone looking to reshape his or her physique the smart way - proper nutrition and exercise (I do strength/weight training with Elvira 3x/week and cardio 3x/wk on my own for 40-45 minutes each time) - should contact Elvira. I have never had the same workout twice, and I've never had consistent results like this before! I can't give this up, it's too important!

I have worked with Elvira for over 9 years now and I have never regretted one minute. She originally convinced me that she could help me with the age-related health challenges that naturally occur. Since I have NEVER participated in any exercise regime nor ever really focused on “eating right”, my commitment with her was a big step for me. Fortunately, her being certified and an experienced expert in both fitness and nutrition made her an easy choice to be my fitness coach.
To me, results matter most. With Elvira I have lost over 60 lbs. of fat, dramatically improved my balance/flexibility, toned my muscle groups, improved my cardio and even decreased the number of my prescribed medications I take (made my doctor happy!) I credit my success to her ability to customize routines to an individual’s specific needs/goals AND, as a certified nutrionist, she creates a customized meal plan to fit my preferences (updated regularly) so I am able to enjoy the healthy food and “eating right”.
Along came COVID 19 and gyms were closed. My fear was losing the ability to continue to work with Elvira and maintaining the progress I had made. She solved that dilemma by offering a LIVE VIRTUAL program! Quite honestly, I originally was skeptical about its effectiveness but I gave it a try….and I am very happy I did!
Her real-time VIRTUAL programs have proven to be equally effective as in the gym but I have found them to be even more intense. I have also discovered other unanticipated LIVE VIRTUAL benefits; no more having to travel to the gym, increased schedule flexibility, surprisingly no special equipment is needed other than a mat and any COVID concerns were eliminated.
I really enjoy her Senior Fitness plan and at the age of 74, I am proof that her overall approach to health does work. With the availability and success of her VIRTUAL program, I would unhesitatingly and enthusiastically recommend Elvira to guide you to a healthier lifestyle and maybe even increase your lifespan in the process! For your sake, commit now and reap the benefits for years to come. You will be glad you did!!

As I turned 70 and basically healthy but with a family history of cardio respiratory, diabetes and cancers my primary care doctor advised me that my statistics were borderline and I needed to do something or else.

I was introduced to Ms.Elvira Geiger of Physiques Fitness. After a long conversation I realized that diet, even with exercise, wasn't the answer. She took the time to learn my medical history, what type of foods I enjoyed, the time of day I would eat, and then took body fat measurements. As we are all different, she devised a plan specific to better my overall health.
I the first month I lost over 20 lbs of fat yet gained 3 lbs of muscle, and the progress continues.

Most important, when I returned to my doctor after another battery of blood and urine tests, she couldn't believe the positive statistical changes. She was amazed and complimented the difference in such a short period of time without drugs of any kind. This is why I would highly recommend Physiques Fitness and Ms. Elvira Geiger.

Elvira is incredible. She transformed my body. My goals were to lose a few pounds, become more lean, and to gain muscle. She encouraged and challenged me in the right doses, and I achieved my goals!

Elvira is simply the best trainer I’ve ever had. She is intelligent, enthusiastic, and focused on my physical development. I can recommend her with no reservations whatever.
