Community Feedback

"I reached out to Ethan 6 months ago on a whim having found him through a google search for a local personal trainer. It was midnight when I sent my inquiry, and I received a response before I woke up the next morning. We met for an introductory call a few days later to understand my background and goals and I was at my first trial workout that same week. Ethan met me where I was, having zero experience of ever being in the gym or having done any strength training. I also work a demanding job with sporadic hours and an irregular travel schedule. Ethan works with my schedule to fit me in before my days start or even weekends to accommodate. We rotate 3 different workouts and Ethan continues to check in on each exercise and adds new components to ensure it remains challenging. At a recent check in - we saw that I’ve nearly doubled the weights since I’ve started 6 months ago. I notice myself feeling strong, seeing changes in my body, and being able to fit back into clothes that I struggled to squeeze in months prior. I’ve started to feel confident to be able to do these workouts alone and supplement it with the personal training sessions, but plan to continue to use Ethan’s services for the convenience and hold me accountable as I build routine. Highly recommend anyone looking to make a change or get into the habit of working out to reach out to Ethan. He’s great at what he does and is 100% the man!"

"I completed an 8-session personal training program with Ethan and had a great experience. He’s extremely professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. Throughout the process, I saw noticeable improvements in muscle definition and weight loss. He tailored each session to my goals and kept me accountable. Highly recommend!"

"I have been a client of Ethan Graves at South Boston Strength for about 6 months now. Hiring Ethan as my personal trainer has been one of the best decisions I ever made for my physical and mental health. Not only does Ethan support my fitness goals, he teaches me proper nutrition and overall better health practices. On top of being a personal trainer, his attributes as an independent business founder include organization , time flexibility, and attentiveness. Ethan never misses a beat! Overall, I have had the best experience I could have asked for at South Boston Strength. If you are looking for a personal trainer who is knowledgeable, personable, and charismatic, Ethan is your guy!"
