Fantastic experience: I've really enjoyed working with Coach Marius for the past couple of months. He's helped improve my Oly lifts, in technique and in weight. He challenges me to get out of my comfort zone and is patient with my mistakes. The gym space is pleasant, clean, and airy, and there is plenty of good quality equipment.

Fantastic experience: I trained under the watchful eye of Marius for years and used his weightlifting techniques to help me get to my strongest in many of my lifts. Love the new gym, a great space for anyone looking to get started or expand their training. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge and I couldn't recommend this place anymore!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Clean, great equipment and Marius is a fantastic coach. The members are also very friendly and welcoming. They have high quality bars and equipment, and tons of platforms to train on. I dropped by for a weightlifting seminar with a two time olympian (Gabriel Sincraian) and had a fantastic time! Highly recommended for anyone from beginners to advanced lifters.

Fantastic experience: After years of pause from training, I was looking for a gym and a coach to help me get back in shape. Coach Maris knows when to push and when to stop me. He understands old injuries, and age related constraints. This is a great place to train, and get stronger, no matter where you start from!

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym after doing the initial session with Marius. He was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He listened to concerns of past injuries and adapted works to strengthen weak areas. The facility is very clean and organized and has everything you need for your fitness journey. I highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! Coach Marius is great, he pushes you to your best without making the workouts feel unmanageable. I feel challenged and actually enjoy the workouts. Going to the gym is not a chore, and the physical improvement has been quick. Very happy with my progress. I’ve tried many gyms and workouts over the years and nothing has worked so well for me. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: A beautifully organized weightlifting gym. Marius has shown such passionate attitude in coaching a small, friendly community. I am in the Olympic weightlifting session for 1.5 weeks so far and have progressed further than I expected of me to achieve alone. Marius keeps watch on everyone to ensure he provides advice and explains thoroughly the training. He always praises and reassures when teaching someone. I always feel like I must do better to make him feel proud. I was able to learn a better form of the front squad. Thanks to Marius that I become capable to lift 20 lbs more on the bar. I've been enjoying the sessions to this day. I highly recommend joining eBs!

Fantastic experience: Marius is a great coach, very patient and knowledgeable. The gym has top equipment. Learning a lot every day. Totally recommended. Prices very reasonable...

Fantastic experience: My kids go for athletic development at this gym. It's a great place for teens and kids to learn about strength training. Marius the trainer has small classes so he can really help teach them individually.

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic gym for strength training, new equipement and a great sense of community. Marius is a great personal trainer and extremely knowlegable. He even trains my 2 boys. The kids love going to the gym to get faster for soccer and build strength. Recommend this place to anyone looking to get fit.

Fantastic experience: Great facility and coach Marius is both knowledgeable and personable. I feel like I’ve made great progress in my Olympic lifts in a short amount of time under his tutelage.

Fantastic experience: I started here a few weeks ago to learn Barbell fundamentals from Marius. He's a very knowledgeable and patient coach. His attention to detail is great. I have learned so much in this time and I'm glad that I'm able to fine tune my existing skills. I have been fortunate in most of my fitness journey to have trained with talented and dedicated coaches, and Marius is one among them. The facility itself is new, clean and spacious and has a lot of equipment. I strongly recommend EBS to learn weight lifting, strength and conditioning, and anything barbell.

Fantastic experience: Been training at EBS for few weeks now. Marius is a great coach with extensive knowledge on fitness and strength training. Extremely friendly, patient, motivational and professional setting. He had made small tweaks in my compund lifts that have help with my strength goals. No matter where you are in your fitness journey and what your goals are I highly recommend Marius and EBS!

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym to improve my Olympic weightlifting technique. The first time I stepped in the gym, I was immediately impressed by the cleanliness and the professionalism Coach Marius. Coach Marius has been training me to undo my bad habits on the lifts and his cues are simple, effective, and drives results. I'm happy to be part of this no nonsense gym. I looked for a place to train, but I found a home and a friend and mentor in Coach Marius. PS. Look at all the trainings and certifications that Coach Marius has! He's really passionate about his craft.

Fantastic experience: My son (12 y.o) and I have joint this amazing performance gym. My idea was to try to keep up with my young soccer player but now, after the precise and very professional guidance of coach Marius I am ready to challenge and compete with my son I am so impressed with quality of training and the results for both Brian and myself.

Fantastic experience: I've had a great experience working with Marius as a trainer for several years. We've focused on building power through Olympic lifting and related mobility, strength, speed and muscle endurance exercises. Marius is no nonsense and has deep experience and knowledge of his field. It has been fun and helped me maintain and increase performance across other sports (e.g. golf) and helped me keep up with my kids!

Fantastic experience: It is with great pleasure I write this review! I trained w Marius for 5 years. He went out of his way to train me. He is a very respectful and professional person. He always was on time and well prepared. He is a very knowledgeable trainer. He challenged me and we saw results. I am confident he will have great success with this new gym and with his clients. All the best!

Fantastic experience: Marius has been nothing short of amazing. When I first signed up with Marius I never thought I would be with him 9 years later, not because I could not function on my own, but knowing he is there to push me when needed and to modify my sessions to accommodate any injuries. Marius strikes a good balance between pushing me and making me feel I can always achieve more than I think, while listening and seeing what is not working for me. Marius is very approachable, respectful, professional and attentive throughout each session. Marius is very knowledgeable about how the body, mind and nutrition work together. Over the years I have never felt more amazing, stronger of mind and body by working with him. I would highly recommend Marius as a professional trainer, who gives a lot of thought to his clients and training requirements.

Fantastic experience: Easily the best gym around, epic staff and an all around good experience. They have different options for you no matter your skill level and I’m recommending them to all my friends. Looking forward to get some EBS clothing. I love this place.

Fantastic experience: Marius is a fantastic, knowledgeable coach. He is detail oriented, will help you perfect your technique and motivate you to achieve your goals and beyond! Marius coached me in Olympic weightlifting and helped me in my first ever meet! Looking forward for bigger numbers soon!! Cheers to you coach!

Fantastic experience: Amazing Gym! If serious strength training in a no nonsense environment is what you’re looking for, then EBS is perfect for you. The Head Coach, Marius Pop is knowledgeable, experienced and a highly trained coach. He’s Level 2 certified! But most importantly though, he’s a really caring coach. His positive and encouraging attitude is so motivating! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Marius Pop is an awesome trainer. Taught me to deadlift, squat, and bench with no real previous experience on my part. Guided me to increase my flexibility, focus on good form, and lift better and stronger. All while I became stronger and fitter. I would not work with anyone else, his guidance and techniques are second to none.

Fantastic experience: The best strength training gym, with a dedicated knowledgeable coach who gets results.
