Testimonials
"I know you have experienced this. Certain things in your life that just "work" and often much better than advertised. It’s a limited number of products or services that comes into one’s life that are memorable, elegant and simple. The few things that really add value, even greater than you might have imagined. Whether it was a great car you now, or once owned, a gadget of some type, or pair of shoes they just "worked for you". My iPhone comes to mind, as does an old shirt I have, I love it and I can’t replace it. You wonder how you lived without some of these things.
Another "game changer" came into my life 2 years ago… TRI FUSION FITNESS. Partnering with Erik Gatlin was the perfect solution and path for me to get into the best shape of my life. As a personal trainer Erik knows the business inside and out. He customized a plan for me, and a workout routine that I now, can’t live without. The results are right every morning I look in the mirror. Not only do I look great, but at 54 I am in the best shape of my life.
Thanks to Erik, working out is now something I couldn’t imagine not doing. Three days a week I look forward to building a strong heart, mind and body. It’s added joy to my life in numerable ways. Thank you Erik for the results that are memorable, elegant and simple. I love it!" -Mike
"When I first started working out with Erik, I was convinced I was at the upper end of my ability to improve myself in any and all areas. I was overweight and out of shape, and couldn't do a single yoga position without causing major strains in the body. I have had several major injuries, including a broken femur, any improvement took extreme amounts of blood, sweat, and tears for minimal gains.
Erik wasn't like the other trainers I had tried before. He quickly showed me that while I was working hard I was doing it the wrong way. He explained the benefits of his tri-fusion workout and it quickly changed not only my outlook on myself but the way I live. Thanks to Erik I broke past the barriers that seemed to be impossible to pass and despite the vast improvements I have made with Erik's help I know I can still go much further.
If you seem to be stuck staring at a barrier that you can't see yourself crossing or the effort you put into your workouts doesn't match what you're getting in return I highly recommend that you let Erik help you. If he can improve me, then he can most certainly improve you.
Thanks Erik Gatlin for showing me that the barrier one sees before them can be passed by not only working hard but working smart." -Alex
"I am a woman in my sixties who has led a very physically active life. Last April, I had injured myself by misusing equipment at a nearby gym. I was limping and had symptoms of pain and discomfort in lower back, legs, and knees. I had always been a walker and could not even walk a few feet. I was discouraged. A friend said, "You need a trainer and/or physical therapy!" I chose to find a trainer and was recommended to Erik Gatlin. Within three weeks of three times a week sessions I felt stronger throughout my body. My legs, hips and knees were all working better and I felt younger and more vital. Functionality and strength were two goals I wanted to achieve. Within a few months I experienced both of these with the core training and nutritional guidance from Erik. I want to continue to be functional and feel strong as I age and I know I can do that with Erik’s help. Thank you Erik!!" -Judy
"Before meeting coach Erik, I struggled to stay motivated to exercise. It was just too hard and I couldn't stay consistent no matter how hard I tried. I would go to the gym, do some cardio and after a week or two be disappointed because I didn't see any changes. I wanted faster results and I didn't know what I needed to do. I would skip meals and go for long periods at a time without any food intake, believing that by eating much less I was doing the right thing and I was going to lose weight.
After committing to a comprehensive workout and nutritional plan with coach Erik I feel and look much better. What I have been able to accomplish is truly above and beyond my expectation for just 4 short months of my time in his program. I am leaner, I have more muscle definition, I have 100 times more energy and I am ready to face my day head on, and with lots of enthusiasm. Erik has been key in my success, I can honestly say that I would not be where I am today, if I had not chosen Erik as my personal trainer. He is much more than just an average personal trainer. He is extremely knowledgeable in how the human body works and really knows how to address issues and limitations. He is also very intuitive and helps his clients with all aspects of their lives and well being. I have had experiences in the past working with various personal trainers but I didn't know what I had been missing until I started working out with coach Erik.
I am so excited about the future and what's in store for me. I haven't felt this great in years, and I'm not done yet, I know that it can even get better and I know I will have Erik to help me through that path. I will be forever indebted to Erik for restoring my life and happiness back to me." -Shadan

After recovering from this he was faced with yet another challenge and was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer. This caused Mark to become 60 pounds underweight. He had a major loss of appetite, stomach pains, and trouble sleeping. After working with coach Erik, Mark was able to gain 20 pounds of muscle naturally in less than 6 months. He has a lovely wife and is a father of three and continues to live strong. Mark is truly a survivor and an inspiration.
