Ive received intermittent massage, pressure point massage, massage therapy and activated stretching during my last 10 years of competitive exercise. Frank is not only an excellent massage therapist but also a fantastic motivator and a great all around athlete to talk to about training and fatigue. Hes very flexible on time and length of session. If youre looking to incorporate any sort of massage/stretching into your training plan Frank is a great asset!

I have been a runner for nearly 43 of my 57 years. If I have learned one lesson over the course of my running career, the more flexible the body, the less likely the injury. If you are a runner or any other type athlete, you are likely to experience over use of muscle, joints, tendons, etc during the course of your lifetime. Frank has been a God Send to me. As I am aging, it seems more important than ever for me to keep my flexibility and my core strength. Frank has the ability to stretch the hips, quads, calves, etc in ways I could never do on my own. He also provides strength training exercises that one can do at home in small bursts of time that will help to maintain your core and the other major muscle groups. He has taught me foundation exercises and techniques to help maintain my balance which is also invaluable to me as an athlete. He is very upbeat, professional and always tries to accommodate my schedule. He is the best! You will not be disappointed! Book your appointment now...just don’t take my slot!😉

Frank is so knowledgeable about the body and brings a new level of expertise to personal training that Ive never experienced before. Based on my goals and targets Im trying to meet, he works with me and helps me with my flexibility and mobility from week to week. Its such a treat working with him where I am starting to feel stronger, and more aligned after each session I have with him.

I cannot recommend ESS enough. I have been a runner for over 12 years and have been to countless athletic focused massage therapy/stretching and Frank is the best and most knowledgeable I have ever come across. I train usually 60-70 miles a week with at least 3 days of strength work and I owe ESS the credit for helping me stay consistently healthy throughout all my training and helping me get back to training after a serious cycling accident. I see Frank 1-2x a week but I would go everyday if I could. Also important to mention that Frank has never made me feel uncomfortable and he maintains a very professional atmosphere!

Frank is an unbelievable coach and a great resource for me during my training. I was very new to running, and he managed my training to keep me healthy, which was my biggest priority, and helped me drop significant time off of my pace. Also, Frank is always very responsive to answer all of my questions and prompt to provide feedback after my runs. I can not recommend Frank and ESS enough.

I have been a client for 3 years and have gotten something out of ever session. He is also incredibly knowledgeable about running and all sports so the time goes quickly. I see him biweekly.

I have gotten a massage and received coaching for running in ESS. Frank does an excellent job in all of his work. He is committed to his clients needs and is methodical in his approach. He is very knowledgeable about massage and the human body. I felt very loose and had more energy after my massage. Franks coaching was so helpful as I prepared for a half marathon. He provided detailed but straightforward instructions each week for my training. If I felt pain in certain muscles along the way, he would listen to my concerns and adjust the work outs as necessary. I enthusiastically recommend his services to anyone interested in massage or athletic training.

Frank has been working with my daughter for approximately 6 months. He has worked with her strength and flexibility. Her flexibility has increased tremendously. He also stretches her and massages her. He is very patient, he makes you feel comfortable and is genuinely a great person. He motives her to do more and to continue to do better! His studio is very relaxing and I would really like to get his playlist! He has the best music! I would highly recommend Frank!

Frank has kept me healthy and happy for over a year now. As a professional distance runner, this has allowed me to accomplish my athletic and career goals. Being able to see Frank from the beginnings of Elite Stretch and Strength to its current form has shown me how much he cares for his athletes and craft. He constantly is finding new and better ways to treat his clients. Frank has implemented stretching, graston, and, recently, massage during my sessions. The addition of massage is fantastic and makes this place THE one stop shop for anything you need. Everything is professionally done and I have full trust and faith in what he does.

I’ve been working with Coach Frank since the start of 2020 as I train to set a personal record in the 800m run and qualify for the US Olympic trials. Coach Frank takes into consideration aspects of my life that might impact my training and tailors my workouts and workout schedule to fit my lifestyle.Thanks to Coach Frank’s training I’ve been able to challenge the limits of my aerobic capacity by running faster and longer runs than I ever have in my career. What I love most about Coach Frank’s coaching style is his clear and positive communication. Since working with him I’ve been able to maximize my strengths and improve my weaknesses.Working with Coach Frank has been the best coaching experience I’ve had so far and I’m looking forward to running my fastest races with his training!

Frank always seems to fix whatever problems I am having. It’s always a great conversation with him and really knows how the body works. As a runner he gets what’s hurting me and knows how to fix it!

Frank does a wonderful job of targeting tension to keep me moving and performing. Excellent communication with a good understanding of anatomy.

Frank has helped we with feet issues for two years. Initially we focused on stretch and strength. Six months ago he added foot massage. I have much better mobility in my feet, and no pain. Frank knows a lot about body mechanics as and massage technique. He is always willing to try new concepts and answer questions. One added bonus: he has a very organic, light filled studio, so completely different from some of the packed health clubs one often sees.

Franks service at Elite Stretch and Strength was exceptional. I have been a runner for a long time and have seen dozens of trainers through the years and more than anyone else I have worked with, Franks service left me wanting to come back. I feel like his expertise is a great tool to improve my strength and ultimately keep me healthy. In addition, Frank is great company. He is very easy to talk to and his space is very calming with lots of plants and nice furniture. All in all an A+ for Frank.

I am going through a difficult time (arent we all) and am grieving the recent loss of my mother. My exercise routine is out of sorts, but my job involves physical labor and I am a single mama to a preschooler. An athlete of a different sort. I wasnt seeking a spa treatment, rather I wanted to relieve tension and relax. Oh my word! I feel amazing. I even slept better. Frank was very professional, stretching and massaging accordingly using appropriate pressure. He was also mindful of my limited time and - the ultimate bonus - played great music. He offered a generous special and, though I am on a limited budget, I plan to return. And the least I can do it let you know you should go see Frank. His rates are very reasonable for an investment in good health

I’ve been having some hip pain from over use from the military. Frank clearly saw this and gave me tips and a fabulous massage.

Frank is super professional and knowledgeable in sports massage and stretching. During my session with Frank, I learned why my knee was hurting and some changes i needed to make in order to help heal my knee. Initially, the massage was super painful, but by the end of the massage my knee felt so good and the pain was gone. I highly recommend Elite stretch and Strength!

Review №21

I came to Frank with neck soreness. He watched me walk (I am a racewalker) and saw right away a flaw in my form that caused one of my shoulders to hunch a bit. With some massage and advice on stretching and a slight change in my form it solved the problem. Frank has a thorough approach to figuring out the issue and producing a lasting solution.

As an aging golfer with declining flexibility, I am amazed at the difference a single session with Frank of assisted stretching can make to my golf swing and distance the ball goes. My only regret is I can’t get to do this every week and play like a 50 Not 70 year old

Strength and flexibility go hand in hand in optimizing performance, preventing injury, improving health, posture, and so many other areas in general fitness. Frank at Elite Stretch and Strength is an excellent resource for your recreational runner to professional athletes looking to improve their overall fitness while learning how take care of their bodies to prevent injury. I have utilized Frank on numerous occasions leading up to qualifying for the Olympics in the marathon and have seen improvements in my range of motion through my hips.

Frank was recommended by a friend, who was experiencing much better flexibility, and improved running form and times after only a few sessions with Frank!Frank was very professional,and made me feel very comfortable and at ease! He taught me some valuable stretching and strengthening techniques, especially related to plantar fasciitis! Consistently doing my homework, I am not experiencing any foot issues at present!He reiterated the importance of core strength, and this too has improved my running, and helping me stay injury free!

Ive visited elite stretch and strength on several occasions and gained valuable knowledge on every visit. As a serious runner myself, the strengthening movements that Frank teaches are essential in keeping me healthy. Great dude who really knows his stuff.

Frank is someone who makes you feel comfortable as you put yourself in the somewhat vulnerable position of attempting self-improvement. My PhD in mindless-googling has only ever provided me with a bunch of conspiracy theories on exercising, until one day I thankfully discovered Elite Stretch and Strength!!! Working with Frank, I’ve learned that breakthroughs are not dramatic events, rather mere moments supported by a few years of uninterrupted work and gradual progress. My personal and athletic progress due to Franks simple, yet sophisticated approach has made wonders to my life!10/10 would recommend!
