Why Us

Here at EAC, we have a team of awesome superstars and we owe our success to each and every one of them! Because we hire for culture first and foremost, we have some pretty awesome people working with us who hustle everyday to give you a positive customer experience. Achieving fitness goals is not easy. Knowing how to exercise, finding time to exercise, and keeping motivated are common challenges. Getting yourself to the gym may feel much more overwhelming than actually working towards your goal. To lose weight or increase fitness levels, it’s time to try something different. EAC can help you achieve the results you want!
STAY STRONG.

  John is a gifted and talented trainer. This is not an ordinary gym experience.
He has customized our workouts too exactly what we need.

  I started working out with John in April of 2023 and it is truly an amazing experience to be pushed to work hard every session.  His dedication for what he does is expressed and I feel like a new person every time I leave.  I have hit new goals continuously and always feel challenged!

  Confession: I haven’t been to this club.

BUT: I’ve relied on John Pivovar for my changing fitness needs on and off for the past 18 years. If a trainer isn’t the best there is, you don’t trust them with your body for almost two decades. He’s the real deal. I believe in him so much I’ve recommended him to multiple friends and gave a John Pivovar package of workouts to my husband for Xmas last year.

Why, you ask? For me, John has:
- Challenged my body appropriate like as I evolved through post-pregnancy, regular fitness, maybe-fitness-shows, life’s ups and downs, injuries, you name it. He adjusted workouts and his approach to every stage
- Treated me with respect…but pushed when necessary!
- Always, always had a sense of humor. He makes me laugh when I’m at the top of my game, and he makes me laugh when I’m limping around and failing at most tasks

I’m on the west coast now or I’d still be working with John. You lucky people still have the opportunity! Don’t miss it

  I’ve been working with John since 2019 and highly recommend him!  Our sessions are typically an hour and consist of a variety of strength, cardio, and stretching/flexibility exercises.  I’ll happily report that every single workout has been great.  John can sense how I am managing thru the workouts in order to push me as necessary (or pull back if I’m overly challenging myself).  I’m able to apply what I learn with John on my own when not working with him… yet always look forward to the next session!

  I went to a few of the boot camps that have been offered thus far and they’ve been great. Have never been challenged so much in my life but the classes are set up to accommodate each attendee’s individual fitness level; letting you go at your own pace while also learning new techniques and routines. John & Mike check on every participant throughout the duration of the workout for the purpose of motivating & encouraging them & ensuring that they are utilizing correct form. I certainly look forward to seeing what else this gym has in store.
