At the beginning of our facetime meetings, Elitzur made it clear that the work that we were going to do was always going to be focused on my goals. Therefore, we went over what I wanted to get out of our sessions. I explained that I wanted to work on my overall physique and wasn’t looking to get “jacked” like many others who workout do. He did a great job of understanding my goals and tailoring our sessions to them.
Once we were at an understanding of my goals, we began our workout sessions. Despite having to do them virtually, Elitzur did an amazing job of queuing complicated techniques and forms. Personally, I appreciated his constant feedback during these repetitions that helped me really zero in on the position that my body had to be in to most effectively complete the rep. Furthermore, Elitzur was always willing to explain any sensation I felt during the reps and answer any questions I had throughout our sessions.
Elitzur stressed consistency when it came to our workout sessions. Thus we always
made sure to schedule our next meeting at the end of a session. Although he stressed this consistency he was always understanding when familial circumstances inhibited my ability to attend a scheduled session.
Elitzur’s training session’s had a large impact on my life. Before our sessions, I experienced frequent back pain as a result of my height. Through exercises that stretched and strengthened the lower back, we were able to minimize this pain to the point of non-existence, which I am extremely grateful for. In addition to this positive result, I also grew muscle mass all over my body allowing me to be more comfortable in it.
As a person who was never really interested in working out, Elitzur provided me with a very comfortable entry into this area of health and was very encouraging throughout our sessions together. He always stressed “correct” body movements. That is, positioning your body such that all of your muscles are working together to complete a rep, minimizing the chance of injury. Anyone who wants a safe, fun but also intense path towards bodily health should definitely consider his training sessions. More...

All of my life I have been struggling with lower back issues, specifically disk herniations. I have spent countless time at physical therapists in the past and have always been frustrated but their cookie cutter approach. The first session I had with Elitzur was the furthest thing from that. We spent significant time tailoring a regimen to address my very unique issues and fitness goals. Within just two sessions I noticed an improvement in the way I walk. This man is passionate, intelligent, and highly experienced in all of biomechanics. Most importantly he is flexible with his approach and recognizes that each person needs a tailor-made treatment.

On the first day of training, I was a bit skeptical. I wasn't convinced that my body had many "dysfunctions," as I didn't feel any pain day to day. But then Elitzur told me to walk back and forth so he could take a look at my gait. In just a few minutes, he told me to apply pressure to certain muscles, and I could immediately tell he was onto something by how tight they felt.

A few days after I started doing the stretches and exercises he recommended, I became far more aware that my body needed work. I abandoned my assumption that personal training should just be about building muscle or getting a certain physique.

A week in, I brought a deficiency to Elitzur's attention, but apparently he was already well aware of it. I was understanding my body far better now, and I realized Elitzur could guide me in understanding it even further. At this point, I also heard Elitzur's story: how he had severe symptoms that he was able to resolve himself after adopting this method. By this point, I was completely convinced that this training was the optimal way forward if I wanted to preserve my long-term health.

But this isn't to say that the workouts are just easy stretches. In reality, they're some of the most intense workouts I've ever done, since they activate muscles I never previously used. The result: I feel a lot more integrated in body, and I'm gaining muscles in certain key areas such as my abs and lower back. Elitzur's training is making me functionally more capable.

Overall, I'd highly recommend Elitzur's training. He not only challenges you, but also considers your long-term health. More...

Wow. Thought I would live with permanent back pains; I couldn't play sports, run, or simply sit at my desk, without aching. Elitzur's functional pattern training has really changed everything. I struggled with the training, but Elitzur patiently assisted me with each step. After just a few sessions, the pain already receded. Because of Elitzur, I now live out my life pain free. More...

I honestly can't say enough good things about working with Elitzur. He is passionate, encouraging, attentive, and so knowledgable. After quitting competitive gymnastics as a teenager, I had been struggling with getting active. Sessions with Elitzur make me exciting to start strengthening my body again and I walk away feeling immediately better. I can feel how the exercises we do allow me to to hold myself up better and help even out the imbalances I had sustained after years of dance and gymnastics. Most importantly, Elitzur always makes me feel comfortable and listened to. He works with me and for me to do what is best for my specific body and my specific fitness goals, and I know he'd do the same for anyone. I highly recommend getting in touch with him. You won't regret it. More...
