What really sold me was his ability to recognize and offer help with some of the mobility issues I had for years. I have lost 20 pounds, 8% body fat and 21 inches all over. The best part is that I feel great! I feel fierce! -

Puravida gave me a place to start with exercising and eating and taught me how to do it right. Every month I saw significant improvements. It is well worth the investment in yourself! -

I didn’t expect the emotional changes I’ve experienced with Puravida. I have more energy, a focus on a healthy lifestyle, and an appreciation for surrounding myself with optimistic, like minded people. I love the variety of fitness options Puravida offers. I appreciate working with the trainers on a 1:1 basis. That provides me the opportunity to check in and make sure I’m doing things correctly and/or change up my routines as necessary. -

I am wearing clothes I never thought I’d wear, losing inches, pounds and body fat like I never thought I could and am getting stronger and faster as I get older. As a result, I cut 20 minutes off my half-marathon times. The support, encouragement, expertise and accountability I’ve experienced at Puravida has empowered me to be the best me. -
Michele E.
I needed a trainer I could trust with my back. I knew it was Erik. I am so happy with my results. I’m stronger and much leaner, eating healthy and not feeling deprived. At 48, this is the best I have ever looked! -
Sum
I needed somebody to hold me accountable. I like that the classes are not too big which allows trainers to focus on each of us, correcting our form if needed. I like the friendly atmosphere and the results I’ve obtained through close monitoring by my trainers. -

At first I hesitated because of the fear of being judged for how out of shape I was. I have MS and RSD. But nobody at Puravida judges you! That is what I love the most! It’s like being part of a family there! Most of all, I believe in myself! I have a can do attitude! I don’t want to give up until I conquer something! Also, I am almost 56 years old and am probably in the best shape that I have ever been in! -
Cheri S.
An auto accident caused neck pains and headaches. Erik was always conscience of what my body would allow and would modify until we found something that would work. I can feel the change physically and emotionally! -
Brandy L.
Never in a million years did I think I would be the one to participate in a bikini competition. Not only did I grow physical strength during this process, but I grew mental strength as well. Thanks to the support from Erik, I found strength and motivation with each of our training sessions, which allowed me to push through. His expertise, patience, and ability to hold others accountable is admirable. This has been the most rewarding goal I have ever set. -

I love the online option! I can do my workouts at home and I don’t feel alone! My workouts are personalized for me, and my trainer checks in with me every week to see how I’m doing. The accountability of tracking what I eat (and knowing that I’ll be asked about it!) helps me too! The results I’ve had in the past couple of months have been better than results I’ve ever had in my 5 decades of life! -

I love the training. Ryan and Erik have helped me tweak my nutrition and amp up my workouts, pushing me into the next level. I have increased my strength, decreased a pant size and lost about 15 more pounds in just 2 months here! Since January I have lost a total of 62 pounds and have 60 more to go! I like the close knit family-like atmosphere. You feel supported by everyone and are not judged as you do your workouts. It’s a positive encouraging atmosphere. -
Nergis P.
I was not able to manage healthy exercise on my own. Erik met me exactly where I was at and was so quick to hone into precisely what I needed. I am thrilled to say that I lost 30 pounds and 10% off of my body percentage in 5 months timeframe! It is incredible how not stressful this process was! -
Heidi M.
My lifestyle went into a steady decline after the COVID lockdown. I stopped working out and ate anything I wanted. That took a toll on my physical and mental health. By August I started having chronic hip and lower back pain, I did not feel like I was living my best life. As of June I've lost 28.25 total inches, dropped 12.2% body fat and lost 28 pounds. More importantly, I have learned healthy eating habits which doesn't mean cutting out food groups. I also don't have to kill myself working out every day in order to lose weight. I feel like I have taken control of my life again. -
Karin A.
I am so grateful to Puravida - with their help I lost 17.5 pounds, 24 inches and 8.2% bodyfat in 3.5 months. With the coaching and accountability of Tracy and the other trainers, I drastically improved my nutrition and added group classes, HIIT classes, and cardio to my routine. I am so pleased with the results, and I look forward to continuing to work out with the motivation and support of the Puravida staff. I couldn't have done this on my own! -
Susan
I was a little nervous starting here, because I figured I might not fit in being so completely out-of-shape. But that turned out to be a totally unfounded fear. All of the trainers are super supportive, and you can see that they want to help their clients get healthier, not shame them. And it's a really fun environment to work out in, too. My endurance has increased, symptoms of my asthma have gone down, and I feel stronger mentally and physically. Once I addressed my diet and eliminated certain foods, I was able to lose 16 pounds! -
Kelsey
I’ve never been this strong in my life and believe it’s because Ryan has pushed me farther than I thought I could go. Once I started seeing my health improve and created new habits, now training feels like freedom. There’s so much freedom that comes with feeling healthy, fit and having energy for life. Plus Puravida is a blast! All the people that are a part of the Puravida community rock and are so welcoming -
Bonnie S.
I came to Puravida to get stronger. I liked that it was a small gym and I had one on one time with a personal trainer. In the time that I was there, my balance became more stable, I built up more strength and I was able to build confidence in myself. I loved that it is a Christ based gym. Thank you Tracy for believing in me before I believed in myself. Thank you Erik for providing a space with Christian values. I will forever be grateful -
Sara S.
My trainer, Jacob, is very dedicated to helping me reach my goal to complete a distance swim of 11 miles in the Willamette River in July of this year. I have noticed better endurance, my leg/calf cramping during long swims has been minimized, and I am able to lift and carry more weight. The people at Puravida are friendly and welcoming and the gym is a comfortable atmosphere to train in! -
Holly L.
I'm currently looking at a 35lb weight loss. My inflammation and joint pain are gone and my posture is improved! I'm getting so much stronger and have way more energy. This F.A.T Method program targets all facets of a healthy lifestyle in a unique, easy to follow way- even for people like me who are diet/exercise resistant. -
Elspeth P.
My trainer, Tracy, and I are a team and we're absolutely rocking it! I love feeling support rather than judgment. So far I have lost 37 pounds, 38 inches and 7.5%bodyfat. I feel so much stronger and feel more confident in my body than I have in years. I have been able to move down a clothing size and people have noticed my overall attitude and aura is healthy and happy. I love seeing the results of my hard work. -
Melinda C.
I lost all my “Covid” weight (20 lbs) and then some and I have muscles again!! I feel healthy again from the inside out. But my rewards go beyond my physical appearance. I learned how to put me first. Puravida gives me that hometown / community environment - where I can focus on my workout without feeling like others are watching or judging. Their trainers have experience and have provne they can reach goals- no matter how lofty! -
Shelly O.
Shelly nailed her 10 pound weight loss goal just 6 weeks into our 8 week F.A.T. Method program! She did this without adding hours of tracking, expensive fake food and exercise on top of her already busy mom schedule. It is a simple program that does not require a lot of extra work. The coaching is very individualized and modified to fit specific needs. -

I was in such a dark spot mentally after losing my dad. I joined the FAT Method program and start training 3 days a week. Nearly 12 weeks later, I've lost 25 pounds, but my mental and physical strength is 10-fold better and for that I am forever grateful. I am off my blood pressure medicine, my nutrition has improved drastically, and my recent bloodwork showed my A1c and other markers in the “normal range”. -
Stephanie P.
After 3 months of online training, I am down 28lbs, 18+ inches, and my body fat is down by 8%. I have done weight-loss workouts in the past, looked good and felt good in my clothes. BUT this time is different! I can actually see muscle and a tiny bicep poking out! I have never been able to transform my body the way Erik has helped me! I know this is a lifestyle change that I will be able to maintain for years to come because of the things Erik has taught me.
