One of the most essential qualities of a personal trainer is the ability to inspire and empower their clients.
The most successful trainers posses knowledge, patience, and empathy.
They are personable, adaptive, professional, and passionate.
Our in-house personal trainer, Joe McCullough, is gifted with all of these qualities and so much more.
Joe is humble.
He doesn’t know how to brag but we will do it for him.
This past weekend Joe attended the NPC Greater Championship Games in Syracuse, NY competing in Open and Classic Bodybuilding.
His dedication to the sport is not something he turns on and off. If you are lucky enough to know him, you know this is his lifestyle; day in, day out.
Whether he is creating personalized fitness programs, assessing clients, writing nutrition plans, you can be sure he is in the gym leading by example.
While cheering you on, we consider ourselves fortunate to be a small part of a big aspect of your life.
Joe, Congratulations on this incredible accomplishment and thank you for all that you do to inspire us all.

Frank Albrecht was our oldest member at 92 years old. When Frank’s wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s she eventually had to be placed in a home. He loved her so much he could barely speak her name without tearing up. As he told stories about her he would stare in the distance as if he was reliving all of them in his mind. He was right back there in time.
I wrote about his goal to ride a bike again but I left out why he had lost so much of his leg mobility.
Frank was no stranger to hard work as farming was his life for many many years until he started work for LF school district. When Eleanor was placed in an assisted living facility, he went to be with her every day. When I say every day, he sat with her every single day for hours on end. For as long as he was allowed to be with her, he was there. The nurses told him that wasn’t healthy. It wasn’t good for his body to be sedentary for so long day after day after day. He didn’t care. He showed up and he sat with the love of his life watching her slowly slip away.
After she passed Frank told me he would drive down Marginal Rd most days on his way to his favorite restaurant, Denny’s, for his dinner. He said he kept driving by our gym and he knew he needed to do something about his legs. He set a goal, came in and signed up for a membership. He wasn’t just our oldest member, he was our most treasured.
Frank is now reunited with his love, Eleanor.
I like to think they’re together riding bikes ❤️❤️
Rest in eternal peace, Frank.
We are all so much better for having known you. Thank you for being Elite.

🌟 Member Spotlight 🌟

Frank is one of our most dedicated and cherished members.
At 88 years young he visits us twice a day, Monday thru Friday, to work on leg strength and mobility.
He tries to take the weekends off but often times he does make it in on a Saturday morning to visit us and get his miles in on the bike.
Frank shared with me that getting old is terrible and he doesn’t plan on ever doing it again.
We adore his light hearted sense of humor.
Being a farmer for many many years Frank is not a stranger to hard work so when I asked him what keeps him coming back to the gym each day he explained that he has a goal.
“When you have a goal or a job to do you don’t stop until you’ve reached it or the job is done.
You work until the work is done.”
Frank’s goal is to strengthen his legs enough to be able to ride a “real” bike again one day.
Frank has the entire staff at Elite rooting for him as we watch his commitment and dedication day after day.
Frank is determined, the hardest worker in the room and we think he’s a real treasure.
Frank is Elite.

To all of our members who don’t hesitate to jump up off of a bike when they see Frank walking in, we thank you. We are moved by this gesture each and every time we witness it.

It’s that time of year again! As we deal with the cold, snow, ice, and salt we would like to remind all of our members to please bring clean and dry gym shoes with you every day. We do not allow outdoor shoes on the gym floor. The salt poses a hazard to our machines, especially our cardio equipment. Our staff works diligently to provide and maintain the highest level of comfort and cleanliness for you and our facility. Please do your part and remember to bring clean shoes for the gym floor. Thank you!

We’d like to wish GOOD LUCK to our very own Derek Lindsay as he takes on his first bodybuilding competition today in Teaneck New Jersey. Derek is competing in the NPC Atlantic States, 23 and under division.
You would be hard pressed to find a more focused and determined athlete.
We consider it a privilege to watch him work day in and day out here at Elite Fitness Center but it is a bigger privilege and an honor to call him a friend.
You’ve given our entire fitness family someone to look up to and admire while on your journey, Derek. We couldn’t be more proud.
Go get that 🏆

What does a mom do?
The short answer would be, everything.
They teach, counsel, soothe, mediate, cook, clean,advocate, protect, chauffeur, shop, answer, feed, discipline, encourage, instruct, inform, defend, comfort, manage, and of course…LOVE.
What do moms forget to do?
Often times we forget to take care of ourselves while we’re taking care of everyone and everything else.
It happens.

Jaime reached out to us almost 2 years ago asking about personal training.
She is the mother to 7 amazing children ranging from 20 to 6 years old.
She acknowledged that she needed to start taking care of herself because her health had been put on the back burner for quite some time.
I knew our in house personal trainer, Joe, would be the perfect fit to help Jaime reach her health and fitness goals.
Jaime works out 4 days a week weight training and performing light cardio.
She expressed that she wanted to establish being consistent in the gym before adding nutrition to her protocol and once she was ready to take that next step, she found it was a game changer in helping her reach her goals.
Jaime is the most dedicated mother to her 7 children and today she is also dedicated to her health and fitness.
Jaime is kind, caring, funny and when she walks in the building all of our days seem to get a bit brighter.
Thank you Jaime for inspiring everyone around you. Full time mom, CFO, and athlete. A mother’s strength is unmatched.

We would like to honor all of our Elite moms today.
Life doesn’t come with a manual, it comes with a mother.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms who inspire us all every single day.
You are Elite 💐💚
