Elite Fitness

I used to train with Elie many years ago and he was an amazing trainer and coach then. Life happened and I moved away for awhile. I came back and his business has grown tenfold since then. And I know why. He is the best. And he has a great staff that train exactly like he does....not only with results oriented prescriptive lifting programs, and individualized diets, but as a daily coach with you 24/7 via text if you like to help you make the right choices and stay on track. Every day, reliably, with good humor, friendly smiles, and constant caring and involvement, Elite Fitness is there for me and for all their clients, helping motivate and move us toward our goals. If you're having trouble getting there....they are the way. Problem solved.

I am so happy that I found Elite Fitness! Elie takes the time to understand your goals and the obstacles that might stand in your way. Elie and the other trainers at Elite encourage you and push you to reach your goals in a fun and positive way. Elie is always available if I have questions or just need a bit of motivation. I came to Elite Fitness to lose the last few pounds I gained after my fourth child, that I was unable to lose despite eating healthy and exercising. Elie helped me see that not only could I lose that weight, but I could get down to what I weighed before children if I wanted. Six weeks later I have lost almost 15 pounds, I am more tone than I have been in years and I feel amazing! I couldn't be happier. If you are looking to make a true change in your health and fitness, Elite is definitely the way to go!

Great results! Exceeded my expectations!

Eli not only understands the science of transforming a body into great physical shape but he is also a very compassionate person that will take the time to listen and guide you and motivate you through your struggles. Thanks so much Elie!!!!

ABOUT ELITE FITNESSThirty -five years ago I was 175 lbs. and had great health. I was a runner on the beach .Some days running between 8 and 14 miles. THAT WAS THEN .Life is what happens while your making other plans. It was never my plan to weigh 300 lbs. Nor was it my plan to have a near fatal heart attack at age 57, 7 years ago. Took a dirt nap on the table three times on a Friday the thirteenth.So now on top of being obese I now had heart disease was on blood thinners and all the other stuff they make you take when you have a stent put in your heart. My heart beat was all screwed up with a tachycardia. That's were. my heart would race up to 180 beats a minute for no reason at all. I WAS A MESS AND WELL ON MY WAY TO DIABETES.I started going to a gym for a while. walking in the pool, a little walk on the treadmill. During that time I met Elie Merhi and he offered to train me and I declined. I told him I was going to self train. I was at about 280lbs. SELF TRAINED FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS. Lost about 20lbs. In June of 2012 I ran into Elie at my local Publix. HE ASKED HOW MY SELF TRAINING WAS WORKING OUT. Sadly I could only say I lost 20 pounds in 5 years. He told me I'm wasting my time. He persuaded me to sign up with him and he would change my life and I would be like I was 30 years ago.JULY17th 2012 I started my half hour sessions once a week and followed the diet Elie put me on after he did a body mass index (BMI) measurement on me. My triglyceride blood level was 270. I WEIGHED IN AT 278. By October I was about 245lbs. When I went to my cardiologist IN OCTOBER my triglyceride level was 50. MY DOCTOR WAS OVERWHELMED AND HE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I told him and he just sat back amazed . and I have continued to amaze people everywhere I go. I refer to Elie Merhi as one of my doctors now. I now weigh 193lbs. I lift weights with a structured and purposeful strategy. I can now run again on the beach maybe not 14 miles any more but two will do and not even winded. I ware my old clothes that actually say made in the USA. I HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE WHO I AM IF THEY HAVE NOT SEEN ME IN TWO YEARS.Recently THE FOLLOWING LETTER WAS SENT TO ME BY SOMEONE WHO HAS BECOME NEAR AND DEAR TO ME. A HEART TECH THAT HELPED PERFORM A RISKY OPERATION ON MY HEART HAS NOMINATED ME FOR THE LIFE STYLE CHANGE AWARD.This is what she wrote about me.....To whom it may concernI am excited about the Palm Beach Heart walk this year and our team here at Boca Raton Regional Hospital! When I read about the Lifestyle change Award, I immediately thought of my friend, Gene Picchi.Gene was my patient when I worked in the Cardiac Electro physiology Lab as a staff RN. He came through a very serious cardiac procedure and I think that experience caused him to want to make a change in his lifestyle. He has changed his eating habits, works out with a personal trainer, and as you can see by the attached photos, has had a dramatic change in his fitness level. The two on the bottom are his acting headshot from a few years ago and his current acting headshot.I have asked Gene's permission to nominate him and he would be happy to speak to you about any details of this lifestyle change. I hope you will consider him - he is a very special person!MAI got back my LIFE with help from Elie and ELITE FITNESS.....SO IF YOUR OUT TO STAY ALIVE LIKE ME, I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO GET ELITE FITNESS BEHIND YOU TO HELP YOU MAKE THAT CHANGE DON'T WAIT TO LONG. . NOT EVERYONE GETS A SECOND CHANCE,GOOD LUCKANYTHING IS POSSIBLEGENE

The trainers at Elite are very motivating and make you feel good about what you are doing, they make it easier to attain your goals then if you were doing it on your own. If you are looking to getting healthier I would highly recommend Elite today and change your life forever.

There is a phrase in Hawaii: "No Ka Oi". It means "is the best". Elite Fitness No Ka Oi!!!! I have been working with Elie and his awesome team of trainers for over two years. My health is better - my strength is better, and I feel great. They know what they re doing, professional, motivating, and damn fun to work with - despite the fact that I have to work my tail off. Sure, you can do it yourself, or with other trainers - the difference is: Elie, Diana, Adam, Vivian, Adrian, & Steve all work hard to make certain you succeed. Thanks for making a difference! mj

Elite Fitness is the best thing that could have happened to me. They are a group of no nonsense trainers who help push you to your limits and exceed your goals. Thanks to them I have been able to lose weight and gain muscle. I wouldn't recommend anyone other then Elite Fitness if you are serious about buckling down and achieving your fitness goals.

After spending way too much time spinning my wheels doing other exercise and diet routines, I met Elie Merhi and scheduled a consultation with him. I knew this time would be different when he did a complete body analysis on me and explained to me, in tremendous detail, what I needed and what to expect. Fast forward a few weeks, and for the first time in my life, I can say I've lost nearly 30 pounds. I still have more to lose, but the improvements are already evident. The knowledge, guidance, and dedication that Elie and his team put forth is second to none. Joining Elite Fitness is the difference between spinning your wheels and wasting time, and actually improving your health, appearance, and your entire life.

The trainers at Elite Fitness know what they're doing. Elie and his staff make you feel comfortable from day 1 and help you understand your body and how it works in order to obtain the results you want. He helps develop an eating plan and answers any questions you may have in regards to fitness or nutrition. One thing that is really helpful is when I don't know what I can eat at a restaurant I know I can just reach out to Elie and he will help me choose something that won't set me back from reaching my goals. The staff at Elite pushes you, encourages you, and motivates you to work hard and you will see results. I definitely recommend them to anyone no matter where you are on your weight loss journey - Elite Fitness can definitely get you to where you want to be.
