Elemental Fitness Lab

If you want to start exercising, but are not sure where to begin. Or if you are wanting a little more guidance or if you simply want to take your current training to another level, Elemental Fitness Lab can help you. This is not your traditional gym by any stretch. You will not be cranking out endless repetitions on machines, standing on one foot while struggling to do some bizarre movement or being pushed to the point of gasping for air. What you will do is learn how to move your body correctly, effectively, efficiently and safely. And in turn you will become stronger, fitter and more confident. If you cannot move your own body correctly, you certainly have no right to pile a bunch weight lifting on top of that. The trainers at EFL know this and are exceptional at teaching you how to move and will absolutely tailor your workout to you. There are no canned routines here.
What I love most about their approach is that they turn your workout into play. You will crawl and roll on the ground, hang from bars, walk with a bean bag on your head, skip, swing clubs and kettle bells. And you workout bare foot or in socks. I love it!
This is NOT your meathead gym nor your stuffy gym. EFL is a down to earth, realistic and practical approach to fitness and health. You cannot go wrong here.
Gabe Rodriguez is who I have been working with and I cannot recommend him any more highly. He is an excellent teacher and motivator and he is very knowledgable.
Chris Bathke and Blaine Brignell are just as awesome, too!
This gym rocks!

Are you tired of guys asking if you need help on your deadlift?
Have you worked out with a trainer before, only to get injured?
Are you completely new to exercise and want a gentle but effective place to start your journey?
Do you want to move, feel, and look better?
EFL is for you.
I’ve been training there for two years and my body finally feels better after shoulder surgeries and injuries from bad form.
Also, this gym is a very welcoming community. If my car broke down — I’d call someone from EFL to pick me up.
You won’t get that at a box gym. And you won’t get injured like at a crossfit.

I’m in my 3^rd year at Elemental. I initially went because my lower back was tightening so badly that lifting a 5lb bag of apples would put me in misery. I originally worked with Chris and have now worked with Blaine for the past year and a half. I have been blown away at the level of painless flexibility I have achieved. I have carried furniture with no ill effects. It has become my lifeline to retaining my health. Blaine is such a great trainer, patient, knowledgeable, knowing when to push and when I’m at my limit. I can’t recommend Blaine and Elemental enough!

I’ve been a member of Elemental Fitness Lab for over a year now and am happy with my progress, their philosophy, approach, and culture.
I’ve done strength training since I was young, but picked up a lot of bad habits over the years. My other problem is sitting at a desk most of my day. I knew that I needed some more guidance than doing my own research or going to a exercise class or a gym with a just do it mentality without regard for movement technique.
EFL has a multidisciplinary approach. It’s not just stretching or flexing, not just movement, not just strength, but all those things. What’s a basic workout like? Foam roll, stretching and movement, weights and cables using technique rather than maxing out, core and hip focus, some endurance… variety is the spice of life.
The team at EFL regularly assesses my progress and customizes my exercise program to target what I want to accomplish and considering my weaknesses or immobility. I have a weekly session with a trainer to make sure I’m using correct movements and they often point out things I would never notice myself. When I’m not meeting with a trainer I’m free to stop in whenever they are open to do a program workout or just get the body movin.
