ERA Fit — Local services in Miami

I would like to preface this by saying that I have actually never written a review. However, in this case, I feel especially compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with all you beautiful people who are looking to see if this gym would be a good fit for you. Here goes. Admittedly, my fitness journey with ERAfit started because I had exhausted all other efforts in my desire to have exercise be a more prevalent part of my overall lifestyle. I had done everything from ordering my own weights and equipment to paying for app programs, always starting off strong, always slacking off eventually for one reason or another. After a couple months into the pandemic, I found myself feeling as if I was spiraling into a deep depression. I was not in a good headspace. I knew I had to do something, and committing to some sort of regular fitness routine seemed like the one thing I knew would help the most. Out of desperation, I grew a pair and reached out to Eric, the owner, via DM. That’s right, I slid right in there, shamelessly. I explained that I had heard great things about him as a trainer and that he had come highly recommended by a mutual friend. Eric almost immediately reached out to me by giving me a call where he took the time to chat with me about my level of experience, challenge areas and fitness goals- such a nice personal touch. We set up a time to meet at the gym where I would get a tour of the facility and hear his spiel on why his program was the best in the industry. Confident, not cocky. He did not underdeliver. Not only is Eric extremely knowledgable and dedicated to his craft, he also exudes a presence that somehow manages to motivate you to want to reach your maximum potential as soon as you walk through the door. His warm and friendly nature will put so much of your fear or insecurities about starting your fitness journey at ease. I was sold. In addition to his plethora of experience and expertise, I also feel that Eric was able to read into me enough as a person to pair me with the best trainer for my personality- ALEX! MY MAN (Denzel voice). The connection was almost instantaneous. I cannot say enough positive things about Alex as a professional and as a human being. His energy is contagious. His dance moves, unparalleled. This individual just radiates good vibes. I couldn’t imagine a better fit for my needs. He knows exactly how to push me past my comfort zone in the least aggressive way possible. He was also willing to teach me so many things to do outside the gym that would enable me to continue improving my biggest problem area- my low back with its four herniated disks. And I have to admit, my back hasn’t felt this good in years! So, if you are like me, anxiety ridden with a deep seeded fear of looking like a an absolute jackass in the gym, this is the gym for you. If you reside in struggleville in terms of lack of motivation, inability to hold yourself accountable, or simply don’t know what tf you’re doing, this gym is for you. If you are looking to surround yourself with successful, highly motivated, genuine, authentic people, this team is for you. I will give this gym, the owner Eric, and my trainer Alex five stars here, because that is the limit. But I truly give the entire staff and my overall experience with ERAfit all the stars in the universe, because that’s how I feel every time I walk out those doors after I’ve trained- infinite, expansive, and full of endless potential! Eric and Alex have not only helped me make much appreciated physical leaps, they have also done something for me that trumps how I feel when I look in the mirror... they have shown me that I’m not just a client, I’m someone who they care about and that my emotional well-being is just as important as my physical progress. Being apart of this fitness family has been an absolute blessing. My gratitude is...

Eric and his team of trainers are extremely knowledgeable and professional. When my husband and I relocated to miami we were in search for the best of the best, I interviewed/did trial sessions with 8 different trainers in Brickell, Coconut Grove and Coral Gables. No one compared to ERA Fit. Not even close and i even trained with JLO’s and Arod’s miami trainer. After almost 10 months of searching for the right fit, I ultimately decided that going to ERA was worth the commute and was undoubtedly the best investment in myself.

These are the top reasons why:

Professional-every session started on time. There was no lack of communication on expectations and what results I was looking to achieve. Accountability- Eric actually took an entire meeting to discuss what i was currently eating/how we can adjust my meal plan and gave me specific measurable goals. Tracked my body stats/what I was eating. Every four weeks we re-visited our goals made necessary adjustments and planned properly Holistic Approach- Eric’s refferal to a doctor that was able to provide me a food alerergy test was so informative, after 35 years I learned some of the common foods that caused bloating for me personally (almonds,egg whites) I noticed a huge difference when I limited intake. Also, Eric never recommended supplements that weren’t natural (most trainers do) I was also able to recover with his techniques on stretching and emphasizing on range of motion Experts- As clients we are not just looking for someone to make us “sweat” every session I had at ERA fit I learned something new. Keep in mind that i’ve consistently worked with a trainer for the last 17 years and competed in two fitness competitions and yet still, every session Eric/ppl at ERA fit managed to teach me something new about my form, recovery, metabolism, endurance etc. That knowledge is something we get to refer back to 20-40 years from now. ERA-Fit App- as a client you can login to the app and access your meal plan/excerise plan, current body measurements/progress photos and more. It’s like using myfitnesspal on steroids. You can log your food/productivity so that your coach can login anytime and keep you accountable!!! I get notification reminders to work out, log my meals amd more it’s awesome! Atmosphere- The moment you walk in you feel safe and encouraged to crush it. All of the trainers and clients are very friendly and there is a real uplifting community. The music playlist is great Great Facility- The gym itself is brand new and all of the equipment is top notch. The location has plenty of parking and they just opened the recovery room where you can get your Liquid IV treatments etc. Best of the Best- Personal training is an investment for yourself. Yes, perhaps you may find someone with a cheaper hourly rate, or a closer commute to your home. However, if your going to spend any time or energy or money you might as well spend a little bit more, drive just a tad bit further and have a phenomenal experience.

In summary this place is awesome you will never regret the investment you made for yourself. My only suggestion would be to allow for the option of 30 min training session as well. I rate this place a...

I have been training with ERA Fit for a few months now and could not be happier. Eric (owner) was very friendly and welcoming when I first walked in, he went over the over-all process and what to expect and helped pick the best training plan for me. The gym is very clean and stays up to the CDC guidelines and recommendations in response to COVID-19. Occupancy is kept at a lower capacity, which is nice. All the equipment is brand new and clean! You can buy top of the line vitamins, supplements, protein powder, etc in the gym. The ERA Fit app is very user friendly and helpful! It keeps track of workouts, meal plans, food tracking, and body measurements. There are bi-weekly check ins to keep track of progress.

The dream team staff is the best part about this gym! Sergio is my personal trainer (he’s amazing), but the whole staff is here to help. Always positive and encouraging! They only want the very best for every person walking into the gym, whether the person is their client or not. Huge thanks to Eric, Sergio, Giuseppe, Elke, Justin, Alex, Rigo, Haley and Sara for always being friendly, motivating and upbeat! There is no judgment in this gym, we are all here to cheer one another on! :)

A special shout out to Sergio! As a personal trainer he has gone above and beyond my expectations from educating me on why Im doing what Im doing, tips and pointers in my workouts as well as recovery. The hour long sessions go by very fast but I feel like I worked very hard, and the work shows with losing 10 lbs in the first six weeks and down 5.5% body fat. My strength and mobility has also become a lot better along with energy. Sergio has been very accommodating with my work schedule, coming in on his one day off to train with me and doing zoom sessions as well when I am out of town. He is quick to respond to texts (Eric too) with any questions I may have. He also made a great meal plan that I am able to stick to.

Being someone who has NEVER been able to stick to a work out routine or diet, I am finally doing it! Sergio makes everything very easy for me (he does all the hard work, I just show up). Because of this team I finally able to make the life style change I wanted.

This is an amazing gym and amazing team of good people that make a plan for each individual person based off of their body type, way of learning and life style. Not every body is the same, ERA Fit knows that, and it shows with all of the awesome results. ERA’s team has a deep knowledge, understanding and passion for training and nutrition and can help anyone, whether someone is working on over-all body image, better sleep scheduled, healthier life style, increased energy, better flexibility or mobility, strength, or just looking for a place to come and work out, ERA fit is your place, they will help you...
