"I met Charlie and Tami just short 3 months ago and I have lost 23 pounds, over 6% body fat, and 19+ inches!

While training with Charlie and Tami at EP I've also gained friendships. The environment Charlie and Tami have made is my favorite thing about training at EP. It is all positive and encouraging. Never any negative or diminishing words are ever said to you. Everyone cheers each other on and you're surrounded by support. I couldn't wait for workout days at EP, they were my favorite days of the week.

I started training with Charlie and Tami because I needed to get my butt in shape for the Navy, and I did! In just 3 months, I am stronger and ready for boot camp, and I've gained all that knowledge that I'll be able to take with me where ever I go in the world. I couldn't have done it with out them, and God couldn't have lead me to a better trainer. I can't say enough about Charlie and Tami. You will not regret choosing to train at Elite Performance. You'll regret it if you don't, so call them now!"

"I had started a weight loss journey of my own several months before joining Charlie and Tami, but felt that I needed something more in addition to my efforts. Professional guidance is what I felt was necessary.They were able to assess my needs/goals and compile a challenging, yet achievable work out routine.

There is nothing intimidating about the environment or people once you start. People from all walks of life and athletic ability participate together and truly become like a second family who support you through your personal journey.

As you progress (which you will), Charlie and Tami will change things up and strategize to keep you challenged and engaged. Be cautious at hinting that something is too easy, or proclaim one type workout is “just the worst”- you will be introduced to other movements that surpass your good burn expectations! They make these adjustments (mostly) lovingly and only if you are truly ready to advance... don’t worry.

If you are interested in also adding in nutritional changes, they will address this as well; they are never pushy, but make helpful nudges every once in a while to see if you are ready to continue to improve your health via another avenue other than physical activity alone.

I am so glad that I joined and cannot imagine my world without them now!Truthfully, I spend more time with them per week than I do with some of my closest friends and, as a result, I would consider them now in that category... but with the added benefit of being motivational trainers! I love the laughter and accountability every time I go."

"I began training with Tami my senior year of high school to prepare myself for a Division 1 volleyball career at Northern Kentucky University.

Strength training was something I struggled with until I began training with Tami. She helped me set goals I believed to be impossible and then helped me gain the confidence and mental toughness I needed in order to accomplish those goals! I soon craved those hour long workouts in the summer heat (which was the only time I tolerated the heat) because I had a spunky, tough, and encouraging trainer pushing me through every minute of it.

Tami taught me several important keys to success in athletics and in life that I know I will carry with me the rest of my life. Her positive attitude and extraordinary personality is what made my experience at EP so wonderful summer after summer. I would not be as mentally and physically tough today if it weren't for Tami.

Now that my volleyball career is over I know that I will be able to use the tools EP has given me in order to continue to live a healthy lifestyle. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to have Tami as my trainer for 4 summers.

Thank you EP for helping me achieve so much throughout my college volleyball career, I could not have done it without you!

"I have trained with Tami and Charlie for a number of years now. They are fantastic at what they do. They genuinely care about YOU and your well-being. Their positive attitudes are a pleasure to be around and contagious, especially on days when you don't really feel like working out, they have a way of bringing you out of your funk!

Their knowledge goes above and beyond anyone else I've ever trained with because this is their life. They put their heart and soul into helping others not just physically, but mentally as well. You won't be disappointed in making the decision to train with them!"

-Mattie L.

“My son was originally referred to EP through his physical therapist after a hamstring injury. We wanted trainers with experience with injured athletes, that could help train him back to competition level for high school track.

That goal was reached and, over the past two years, has been far surpassed. He is in outstanding physical condition, and he himself has a better knowledge of how his body works and what is required to maintain that performance.

He has also benefited mentally from his training. The positive message he gets at EP with every training session goes hand-in-hand with the physical training. He is a better person all around from his relationship with Tami and Charlie, and for that we all are grateful.”

-Dawn M.

“I have trained with Tami for over five years, and she has helped make me stronger and sculpt my arms, legs, and core.

When I found out I was pregnant, I didn’t want all of that strength and conditioning to go away; I had worked too hard for it. I knew I needed to keep my energy level up and stay active during the entire nine months. My doctors ensured me that my body would tell me if I am doing too much.

Tami modified workouts for me as my baby grew and as my energy, intensity level, and balance changed. Under her supervision, I always knew I wasn’t putting myself or baby at risk. At nine months, and carrying an extra 25 pounds, I continued to lift weights, challenge my balance, and perform body weight exercises, and I remained motivated and eager to workout throughout the duration of my pregnancy. I also relied on the appropriate supplements for safe, increased energy during the day and to provide balanced electrolytes and hydration.”

"The summer between my freshman and sophomore year in college was one of the most pivotal moments of my life. That was when the EP team completely transformed my body and work ethic into an actuality I did not know I could accomplish.

Not only did I meet the demands of my coach, I exceeded them by losing over 32 pounds in just three months. For the next two summers, I returned to EP, for I knew their methods worked and were successful. I have completely transformed my body.

While in school, not only was I supported by the EP team, I was also presented with methods, workouts, and advice to continue my success on my own. Now that I have finished my basketball career, I have absolutely no regrets in choosing to work with EP.

They strive to make you a better you, challenge your body to its limits, but overall create a fun atmosphere to be around and want to work harder.

I thank Charlie and Tami for without their dedication and love for what they do, I would not have been as successful as I was."

"Being an athlete coming off of a couple of injuries, my parents decided to send me to Elite Performance. My goal was to get in the best possible shape for my senior year of high school.

Tami designed a workout program that helped me build strength, and she pushed me hard but at the same time was very encouraging and supportive.

With her help, I finished my senior season being named to 1st team All-League, 1st team All-District, and Honorable Mention All-Ohio. I also was awarded Most Outstanding Athlete in my Senior Class.

Currently, I play college softball. As a freshman, I started the year with a conditioning test and finished third out of 25 players.

Tami and her training methods were a big part of my successes over the last two years."

-Courtney H.

"Tami and Charlie are two of the sweetest people you can have the pleasure of meeting. Their good vibes illuminate the building. In addition to their wonderful personalities, they are extremely educated and professional.

Tami knows the body inside and out; always ready with modifications for any kind exercise you may not be able to perform due to whatever ails you. Their workouts leave you with the perfect balance of sore and ready for more.

The training sessions are constantly changing, evolving, and rotating-good for those who may need a little more variety than your average squats and push ups. I encourage everyone to go Elite Performance and have a workout like none other."

-Caitlyn S.

"Elite Performance is a great place to train for anyone and everyone! As a Division 2 Ashland University athlete it helped develop me into a better volleyball player physically and mentally.

All the hard work I put in showed and it was motivating for me to keep going back and training with EP. The trainers here are so knowledgable, persistent, and positive that it creates a great environment for everyone.

Each workout was truly personalized to fit my needs and goals. Elite Performance genuinely cares about each person's overall wellness and helps you reach for goals.

I would recommend Elite Performance to anyone looking to improve their well being or athletes looking to put in work and reach their potential."

-Sam Z.

"Dear Tami, Two weeks ago I had a Dr. appointment to follow up on scheduled lab work, and my blood pressure and cholesterol were both down to normal range. He was so pleased, especially after I told him I was taking no blood pressure meds.

I told him I had been training with you and changing my eating habits and he said, 'That's the way to do it'. I have not yet met my first goal of losing 20 lbs. but am working on it. When that happens, you will be one the the first to know.

Seriously Tami, you got me started on the right track with exercises and eating healthy and I can't thank you enough. You know the problems I have had with blood pressure meds and the fact that I have been able to get my readings down to normal is a testimony to you.

Again, thank you Tami for believing in me and more importantly, helping me believe that, 'YES, I can do it!'.

-Donna W.

"I have been working with Elite Performance for the past 2 years. I thought that I was 'working out'... that was until I got a real session in with Charlie!

I was so impressed with the way that he pushed me to give everything that I had without making me feel like didn't belong in the gym. I think we've all had that experience where we felt like we didn't belong.

The best thing for me is the amount of accountability & true coaching with the F.I.T program. If you truly want a program to follow & be coached on this is the one for sure! I'm pumped up to continue my journey with EP!"
