About
Hi, my name is Eric & I am currently a certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES), & Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES) through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) & Certfied Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). I’m also a group fitness instructor (GFI) through the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and a CPT through the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA).
I’m also currently in my doctorate for chiropractic too!
In addition to traditional training programs & workouts, I can also design unique workout themes such as: Bootcamp, Floor Pilates, Trampoline classes, Balance & Stretch, etc. I have a B.S. in Health Science and an A.A. in kinesiology.
I specialize in training clientele within alternative workout sites as well - such as at their homes ( living room, etc), apartment gym, Driveway, Backyard, or even local park.
I also have all of the equipment necessary that I will bring to you (Bands, Dumbbells, Terra Core, Kettlebells, Trampolines, Bosu, Vipr Tubes, Foam Rollers, etc)!
Some of my main training specialities include: corrective exercise, performance enhancement (sports training), functional training (mobility, stability), fat loss, and strength development. With corrective exercise, we focus on reducing any type of muscle discomfort that you may have (such as low back pain, knee Pain, plantar fasciitis, etc).

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
With new clients, we will go through a brief consultation where I will inquire questions about your current lifestyle (occupation, postural habits, physical/recreational activities, etc), we will discuss your fitness goals, address any limitations you may currently have, perform some physical assessments to test for muscle imbalances, and you will have the option to receive further tips, guidance, and links to help achieve your overall fitness goals! Then, we can proceed with your first training session or reschedule for another day - whichever is convenient for you.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am currently studying health science at CSUCI with a pre-med emphasis (I am studying to become a physician). I received my A.A. in Kinesiology from Moorpark College. I've also continued to further my education in kinesiology by achieving other fitness certifications - such as my Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES) certificate that I received from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $100/session; However, training sessions may vary from 60-70 minutes depending on how you feel (if you have a specific muscle discomfort one day we may spend more time addressing that symptom). Your 1st session is FREE so that you can can get an authentic experience and see if you'd like to continue our partnership in accomplishing your fitness goals. In Addition to my training sessions, I can also provide you with Free training templates/programs for you to follow during your own time. I even have an active social media following if you are interested in learning new exercises - including exercises for specific muscle groups & dysfunctions. ( Instagram & Facebook Username: Schaefit_ ) AND, I will give you access to a health portal link that allows you to log and track your own calories & fitness activities, while providing you with supplementation, vitamin, & dietary information - all from registered dietitians!
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with a diverse group of individuals ranging from Kids (Sport Specific & Youth Development), to the General Population (Fat Loss, Strength gain, Hypertrophy), to Senior Citizens (Emphasizing Corrective Exercise, Posture, & Balance).
