Eric is an exceptional trainer. I’ve worked with him for almost 3 years. I appreciate his energy and his willingness to adapt sessions to my abilities, whether I’m looking to be challenged or if I’m having flares with joint pain/etc. Highly recommend!

I love this gym! My experience with both Kyle and Eric helped me truly learn what working out is all about and has helped me stay motivated/committed. They will push you through a variety of different workouts while ensuring the proper form. The culture of this gym is so welcoming! The people are some of the most genuine people I’ve ever worked out with. This gyms boot camp style workouts are offered Monday-Thursday at 5:30pm and Saturday at 8:30am. This workout will push you, making the end the most rewarding part of the day. Commitment to one class at this gym will change your life. More...

I highly recommend Kyle for personal training! He definitely challenges me, but not too much. I love that he keeps a close eye on my form so that I’m getting the most out of my workout and not doing anything to injure myself. To be honest, I was a little concerned with going to someone younger than I and super fit (I am 59 yrs old and out of shape!), but he is always kind, encouraging and doesn’t do any shaming, which makes me motivated to keep coming back! I also think he would be excellent with those who are younger, super strong or athletic. One other thing! In these days of covid, I feel very safe as there are always very few people there at one time and it is very well ventilated! More...

I have worked with 3-4 personal trainers in the past 10 years, and have found Kyle Olsen to be the best. ENVISION FITNESS is a great place & owner Eric Weiner cares about each member experience- and it shows! Highly recommended!!

Envision Fitness is a welcoming place where everyone, at any age or fitness level, can become stronger and healthier. Group classes (bootcamp workouts) are carefully planned and then tailored on the spot, to meet the needs of those who show up for each class. There’s always a modification or alternate exercise for individuals who are beginners, have injuries, or need an extra challenge. More...

Eric's bootcamp was both challenging and enjoyable! Everyone there was welcoming, helpful, and the atmosphere was very fun and motivational. Eric made his rounds throughout the class to spend time with each member helping with form, technique, etc. as well. I highly recommend! More...

I have NEVER even thought of doing personal training in my life and at the ripe old age of 40 I decided it was time to get in better shape. I met Eric my trainer at a networking event and we got to talking about trying it out. He has a deal for your first 90 minutes and he figures out why your there and how he can help. It was a super cool experience and now after a month my dad noticed my face was thinner. I had no idea one person could make such an impact on my life but I feel great and have made the time to get in shape. It's awesome! I feel awesome! Thanks Eric! More...

Eric at Envision Fitness is fantastic to work with! I have worked with other personal trainers before but Eric and his gym stand out above the rest. He is an expert in his field, and makes sure to personalize your gym experience for what your goals are and what you are looking for in coming to the gym. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone looking to join a gym or hire a personal trainer who doesn't want a large corporate gym experience. As a bonus, everyone at the gym is friendly and welcoming.

I've been lifting weights for about 20 years now and I thought I would try out personal training, so I could avoid getting injured. Eric was amazing!! He is incredibly patient, a great listener, and tailored the workout perfectly to my fitness goals. It is obvious that he loves personal training and I highly recommend giving Envision Fitness a try.

So far so good. I've been looking for a place where it is evident the trainer has purposefully built the workout and I've found that here.
Eric also takes time to watch each person and appropriately corrects form. Love that.
I would love a few more morning class options. A 9a or 10a would be awesome.

Excellent, excellent classes and training! I've been working with Eric for almost two years. I've never done an "easy" workout with him because it's always customized to my personal fitness level. He's also very patient! No matter how many times I forget some detail of proper form, he'll kindly remind me how to do it right. More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
1. Physical health: our approach helps you repair and/or prevent injuries and learn how to channel your body's proper movement patterns so you move more fluidly and can do the things you love better.
2. Nutritional health: We meet you where you are nutritionally and help you establish small habits that compound over time. We believe rapidly overhauling your diet can have severely negative long-term consequences. Our clients see massive success with our nutritional approach.
3. Lifestyle health: The key to any successful program is good recovery. The single best form of recovery is sleep. We work with you to help you maximize your sleep and the rest of your recovery routine.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
There is no secret! The body of your dreams lies within you if you are willing to do the work. The brain naturally likes to conserve energy and take the path of least resistance. That's why it's so hard to get started. But if you can overcome this inertia, you can do incredible things!
What do you love most about your job?
Helping people. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing the look on people's faces when they do something they never thought they could.
One of our clients is down over 30 in 6 months! She can do pushups, run, and climb stairs without being breathless. Incredible.
Another client who came in with shoulder, elbow, knee, and neck pain is now pain-free! He can golf again, run again, and he moves like a completely different person.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Starting Envision Fitness in 2017 at 25 years old was the best professional decision I ever made. I get to help people who genuinely need and want help without the slow drag of a corporate behemoth telling me how. I get to wake up every morning, go to the gym I built and work with the most amazing people I've ever met!
Why should our clients choose you?
I have been a personal trainer for over 12 years. Working with a personal trainer is an incredibly personal investment and commitment. In fact, I only select a handful of new people to work with because you have to work well as a team. I want to work with people who want to get better. If you want to put the work in and see incredible results, I will show you how.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes! We offer an online coaching program, similar to our personal training service.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
For a while, we were wearing masks and only allowing 2 people in the gym at a time. However, we no longer have Covid-19 restrictions in place.
Personal Training
Work one-on-one with our professional coaches to maximize your:
1. Fitness
2. Nutrition
3. Recovery
When you work with us, you work with a compassionate, empathetic coach in a small, private environment.
Group Fitness
Our group fitness classes are small, boot-camp-styled workouts. We emphasize a combination of endurance, strength and mental toughness to help you get the most out of each workout.
This is amplified by our small class sizes of 2-10 people, and our ability to coach you on proper movements throughout our workouts.
Online Coaching
Online Coaching is phenomenal for you if you prefer to do most of the work on your own time with a structured plan.
We tailor your workout program with an option also to customize your nutrition program. Our online clients see enormous success with our approach:
1. Weekly recap/planning meetings.
2. Biweekly body composition analysis to track your in-body progress.
3. Monthly coaching session to track physical progress and prepare for the next month.
