A client works on her personalized training plan in one of the four private training suites at the newly opened Elevate Personal Training in Hopkinton at 17 Main Street, Suite 2. She is working with Ryan Sullivan, who owns the fitness center along with his business partner, Dan Goulet. Both are certified personal trainers.

Focusing on the individual, Elevate Personal Training is committed to helping clients achieve their fitness and wellness goals.

“We offer one-on-one, personalized training plans based on our client’s full evaluation and their health and wellness goals,” said Ryan Sullivan, who along with his business partner, Dan Goulet, owns the new business at 17 Main Street, Suite 2, in Hopkinton.

Clients, ranging from teens to seniors citizens, start their personal training at Elevate with a complimentary fitness evaluation.

“The assessment takes about an hour-and-a-half and includes a functional movement screen to identify deficiencies or imbalances such as shoulder or back pain that they want to improve. We want to address the causes such as posture or tight muscles,” said Sullivan, “We then perform a InBody screen, using a medical grade device to assess muscle, fat and water mass plus visceral fat and metabolism. Using the data and the client’s goals, we develop a personalized workout plan to help the individual achieve success.”

Sullivan stresses that the personalized plan focuses on empowering the individual, boosting energy and creating lasting results.

“If a client wants to lose 20 pounds, we want to make sure it is a healthy 20-pound loss of fat while helping build lean muscle,” said Sullivan. “While we craft plans for everyone from former athletes to those beginning training, we want all our clients to look, move and feel better.”

Elevate has four private fitness suites where clients work one-on-one with a trainer.

“Our suites are outfitted with free-weight exercises, not machines,” said Sullivan “We want our clients to have good technique and develop consistency before they increase the intensity of their workout. We don’t want someone working so hard that their muscles are sore and they stop exercising. Consistent exercising is important.”

Elevate also has a cardio area where clients can work on their own. Virtual sessions can be scheduled to cover vacations and travel.

The customized training packages vary in length. Each session lasts 45 minutes, and while always done one-on-one, can be held with any of Elevate’s trainers.

“Our staff works collaboratively,” said Sullivan. “Because each of us has a different background, we each might see something different in how a client moves. Working together, we can adjust a workout plan to include that input. It is like getting a second opinion.”

All the Elevate trainers are certified and hold degrees in the field. Goulet and Sullivan each have about 20 years experience working in various personal training environments and are fully certified. Sullivan earned his bachelor’s in applied exercise science at Springfield College and his master’s in leadership and athletic administration from Boston College. Working at the collegiate level, he did strength and conditioning training at universities including USC and Boston College.
