Nutrition Coaching & Performance Nutrition

Training with Hugo has been a game changer. Meredith and Hugo create a custom plan for clients to achieve optimal results. The studio is beautiful and the equipment is top of the line. Most of all the coaching makes all the difference.

I began training at Elite a little over a year ago at age 64. My husband had recently died, and after years of caring for him at home I was in very bad physical condition. I had done some strength training before, but that was decades ago, and I knew I needed some expert guidance if I wanted to accomplish my goals of shedding fat and gaining strength.

I found exactly what I needed at Elite, where I've been fortunate enough to work with both Meredith (my primary trainer) and Hugo. They complement one another well, and I've benefited from both of their expertise, encouragement, and kindness. They handle all of the programming of my workouts; I just show up and do whatever they tell me to! The results have been amazing: I've lost 8.5% of my body fat while gaining muscle mass and strength.  I've also gained back something of my old self, along with the confidence I needed to move forward with my life after...

"I joined Elite after a 14 month break from training due to a torn labrum and shoulder injury. Unable to swing a golf club and fearful of a major hip surgery, I was encouraged to come in and get an assessment. They developed a program that strengthened my lower extremities and helped me regained lost mobility within the first 12 weeks. I have lifted weights for the last three decades and have never considered some of the unilateral movements that ultimately increased my overall strength and improved my balance. After six months with Elite, I was back playing golf with no pain."

"Working with Meredith and joining Elite has been the single best investment in my health I've made this year. Meredith takes great care in creating a workout program that is customized to me and my goals and she is invested in my success every step of the way. Not only do I feel stronger each week but I have more energy and am able to manage the stressors of my day to day life in a much healthier way. Her investment and commitment to her clients is truly unparalleled. I can't recommend working with Elite enough."

"I've worked with many trainers over the years – including Hugo Nolasco since 2019 -- and he has been by far the most knowledgeable, amiable, insightful, and professional. A careful listener, he seems to have an innate wisdom about designing a training strategy that best serves a client's specific needs. All that grace plus a sense of humor. I couldn't recommend him more highly."

"Hugo is extremely knowledgeable, yet is always on a quest to learn more; very professional, yet is easy to have a personal relationship with and is highly motivating, yet knows when to lighten up the session. Hugo is creative, which was important since we had to figure out how to use objects around the apartment during the pandemic, and he is extremely kind and considerate. As a women in her late 50's, I have consistently increased my strength with the emphasis on how well I recover from our workouts.

"Meredith Parker has brought me back to life on more than one occasion: after surviving cardiology fellowship with two babies, and then again after 2 years of isolation due to the pandemic.She knows that teaching you how to lift heavy things in the gym allows you to lift heavy things in life: both require bravery, dedication and the willingness to fail a few times in the company of good friends.I will be forever grateful."

-Cary, 54

"When I met Meredith after moving to NC in 2006 I didn't realize the impact she'd have on my life. There are good coaches, there are great coaches, and then there are exceptional coaches.  I write with conviction that Meredith is exceptional.  My intent for hiring a coach was to help me get in shape, improve my relationship with food, lose weight, and "look toned."  What Meredith helped me understand is that while nutrition and exercise are important, it is habits, consistency, and willingness to dabble with discomfort that influence change.
