“After years of starting and stopping exercise routines, and suffering through ineffective workouts, I joined ECB hoping to learn some skills that could help fight the middle age bulge. What I found was a systematic and all encompassing approach to fitness, not just a focus on weight loss.

Owner Eric Bollock has proven to be much more than just a personal trainer. He’s a strength coach, motivator, nutritionist and friend. Eric approaches the training sessions with extensive knowledge of human physiology and a desire to help his clients succeed, so he specially designs his workouts to get the best results. Further, Eric is able to adapt quickly to a client’s progress problems and questions.

In just four weeks, I lost 9.5 lbs of fat and put on 7.5 lbs of muscle. After six weeks of working out at ECB, I have noticed a true change in my conditioning level and can see results on the scale and in the mirror. ECB is not just another place to exercise it’s the place to achieve a new level of fitness.”

“I worked with Eric for several months in 2007 with the goal of reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass. At the age of 69 that is not an easy task as old habits are difficult to change. With Eric's guidance I was able to reduce body fat by 3% and gain lean muscle by 4 or 5 lbs. The diet and workout routine was carefully monitored and modified as time went on to maintain energy and motivation. Eric is an excellent and informed coach which is why the program worked for me. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone seriously interested in improving their physical condition.”

“I began working with Eric in the winter of my junior year of high school, at the time I weighed 275 lbs and I had just finished a football season. My bench press was terrible, my squat was horrendous, and my power clean was pathetic. After working with Eric for a year and a half my bench was over 300 lbs, my squat was nearing 500 lbs, and my power clean was nearing the 250 lb mark. Eric’s training program was the greatest thing that ever happened to me, it pushed me well past what I thought I was capable of and got me to a level high enough to allow me to play for a Division 1 college football team. Eric is a very versatile coach who can make you excel at anything from strength and power to speed and agility. I spent many hours running with him and getting faster and increasing my endurance, he was able to determine how far my body could be pushed and he pushed a little harder and allowed me to get significantly closer to my potential. The time we spent out on the training field was fun and enjoyable because Eric really wanted me to succeed, this fundamental idea is what really separates him from a lot of other coaches. Eric is determined to see his clients reach their goals whether that is to get into better shape or to get stronger. The time I spent with Eric was one of the greatest points of my life and I am bigger, stronger, and faster because of it. If I ever get the chance to work with him again I will.”

“The results were exactly what I had hoped to accomplish.”

“Eric Bollock was my personal trainer for over four years while I was living in Aspen. He is far and away the best trainer I have ever had including trainers in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, California.

Eric's training program is individualized for each client rather than a fixed routine as many trainers use for all their clients. He discussed my goals and established a program to achieve those goals in a reasonable time period. The results were exactly what I had hoped to accomplish.

Eric focuses entirely on the client's training session and does not waste time with idle chatter or personal cell phone calls. He did encourage me to push myself but never beyond my capabilities. He also provided nutritional advice which I still follow.

I recommend Eric without hesitation to anyone who is serious about training.”

“Eric is one of the best coaches to train with if you want to reach your goals fast!”

“When I began training with Eric I had just transferred from Arkansas Tech and was around 235 lbs. I was very bulky, slow and out of shape. I sought out Eric to train with so that I could get in the best shape possible to walk on and play for the University of Arkansas football team. Within a few months Eric helped me cut my weight down to 225 pounds of lean mass, increased my bench press from 330 lbs. to 385 lbs., my squat increased from 500 lbs. to 530 lbs. and I became faster and more flexible as well. After joining the team, workouts seemed easy because of the intensity and technique-work I was used to from the workouts Eric had me doing. Because of Eric, God has allowed me to be splitting time as a first string fullback and I am one of the strongest guys on the team! He is easily one of the best coaches to train with if you want to reach your goals fast!”

“I am stronger and leaner”

“I joined Eagle County Barbell 3 months following the birth of my son. During my pregnancy I had gained 55 pounds and was extremely frustrated that it did not “fall off” following delivery. I’ve always been conscious of my weight but never consistent in my workouts or dieting. I would occasionally reach my goal weight, but for the most part I continually hovered above the goal weight by about 6-8 pounds. Feeling a strong need to not be one of those women that never lost the baby weight I joined ECB. At first I was intimidated to join. I knew the expectations to succeed were going to be high and I knew that Eric was going hold me accountable for my behavior inside and outside of the gym. I tried another trainer and working out on my own, but the very thing that led me to be intimidated by ECB was what got me to come back…I needed the accountability.

Four months into my training with ECB I am stronger and leaner and have dipped below my pre-pregnancy weight. I look forward to my work out days at ECB and I continue my workouts outside of the gym as well. ECB has helped me set manageable, attainable goals and I look forward to my measurement days to monitor my progress. I would highly recommend ECB to anyone that wants to achieve their goals. It won’t be easy, but you’ll enjoy the journey getting there.”

“I’m in the best shape of my life.”

“I’ve had various trainers. I’ve competed, pushed, pulled, strained and complained. With all of this, Eric Bollock is the best trainer I’ve ever had.

He considers your individual needs from meal planning to workouts. Although, in good shape, I went to the next level and attained my ideal body composition through the right food, frequency of eating, and my individual workout plan.

In 30 years of working out, I’m in the best shape of my life. Thank you Eric.”

“I have been experiencing tremendous results”

“I am a freestyle snowboarder who competes at a top level of competition throughout the nation, and around the world. The difficult tricks that I throw take tremendous strength, concentration and dedication. To ensure my ability to snowboard at this level I needed to work out off the hill.

I was a competitive gymnast I till I was seventeen. My fitness level inevitably went down when I was no longer training for gymnastics. It was extremely difficulty for me to work out on my own after spending many years in a highly structured environment. I have been skeptical about working with a trainer in the past since I need the trainer to understand that I am an athlete and not trying to lose weight. After my consultation with Eric all those fears quickly melted away as he easily demonstrated his knowledge of strength and conditioning for athletes.

I have been experiencing tremendous results which are easily noticeable when I snowboard. It’s as if I jumped ahead a level from where I was before. What I love most about ECB is that our work outs targeted to strengthening the entire body, and they don’t stop short on core, which is key for my lifestyle. My workouts at ECB have become a key part to my training for snowboarding.”
