“Ric has gotten me right every year I’ve worked with him. His attention to detail is another level, and his personal care is what I was always looking for.
Because of him, I’ve signed the biggest deal in my career with FC Dallas!”
He has been a great help with my nutrition, my training, recovery and my off-season work.
He has also helped me through injuries I’ve had and has given me many injury prevention routines to make sure I stay on the pitch.
I also regularly use his app to improve my technical ability and confidence on the ball. To anyone contemplating working with Ric, I recommend you get on it right now!

“Ric gave me a chance at the pro level when no one else saw the
potential in me.
He was the reason I signed my first professional contract! On the physical side, I’ve seen massive improvements in my speed, strength, and agility.
I feel stronger,
more mobile, and more confident every time I step on the pitch.
Ric’s program helped me target weaknesses and build habits
that stuck, in training and in life. His guidance on nutrition and
mindset shifted the way I approach football completely.”
Read More +
The program helped me target some weaker areas of my body, which allowed me to train harder without constantly worrying about injuries.
Ric helped me stay disciplined and stick to a solid routine. I’ve learned to trust the process and be patient, and that mindset shift has made a massive impact both on and off the pitch.
Eric’s guidance with nutrition made me much more mindful about what I put into my body. Now I feel more energized throughout the day, and I recover faster after training and matches.
On top of the physical and mental transformation, working with RicFit completely changed my career. I was 25 years old, had played Division One college soccer, but no one took me seriously. No agent. No club. No real opportunity. Eric and the RicFit team believed in me when no one else did. They helped me create a clear plan, stay consistent, and eventually sign my first professional contract!
Eric’s support, clear communication, and personalized coaching have been unmatched. I would absolutely recommend RicFit to any player who wants to take their game to the next level. Eric’s attention to detail, knowledge, and commitment to his players is truly exceptional.”

Jordan’s story isn’t just another transfer; it’s a powerful example of reigniting a professional career with the right support system.
On top of that, RicFit provided me with all the tools I needed to stay sharp; training programs, injury prevention, nutrition advice; you name it. That support helped me stay fit and perform throughout the season with FK Metta. I’m super thankful for Eric and the entire RicFit team.”

Jordan’s story isn’t just another transfer; it’s a powerful example of reigniting a professional career with the right support system.
Before heading to Europe, Jordan was Orlando City’s youngest Homegrown signing, joining their academy at age 12 and eventually captaining their U-19 team. He made his pro debut in the USL with Orlando City B, earned a senior team contract in the MLS, and later spent time with Charlotte Independence and Cape Town City in South Africa’s Premier Division.
The opportunity with FK Metta came when Dennis Chin, Head of Soccer at Young Money and a longtime friend of Eric’s, reached out about Jordan’s situation. After reviewing his profile, Eric immediately saw the potential and made sure it landed directly in the hands of FK Metta’s front office.
The objective was clear: get Jordan meaningful minutes in a top-tier European league to reignite his career. And that’s exactly what happened.
Jordan went on to have a strong season; appearing in 33 matches and starting in 75% of them. It was a move that gave him valuable exposure, consistent playing time, and a real opportunity to show what he’s capable of at the professional level.
This isn’t just a win for Jordan; it’s a blueprint for every player out there wondering if they still have a shot. With the right team in your corner, you’re never out of the game.
Jordan’s words:
“Eric played a huge role in my move to Latvia. I’m really grateful for everything he did to help me get into a first-tier club and feel settled in a new country. Moving overseas is never easy, but with Eric’s support and guidance, the transition was way smoother.
On top of that, RicFit provided me with all the tools I needed to stay sharp; training programs, injury prevention, nutrition advice; you name it. That support helped me stay fit and perform throughout the season with FK Metta. I’m super thankful for Eric and the entire RicFit team.”

Throughout the 6 months Eric communicated diligently on multiple platforms, whether it be a weekly check in email, a text to see how I was doing, or a phone call just to catch up as friends and see how life was going in general he was there for me throughout the whole process and is someone I can call a fantastic trainer, but an even better friend at the end of the day. With that being said he was a friend that pushed me to reach my fullest potential and continues to lead himself and others to their best lives through soccer and fitness.
His workouts were ruthless to be fair, many of them pushed me to a very high level and that is why I achieved the results I did working with Eric. His workouts consisted of absolutely everything you can imagine, he works with you on your moment and mobility on the field, technique on the ball, strength, power, agility, speed, endurance, pliability, mental strength, and many more aspects of your fitness.
With Eric being so good at understanding fitness and what it takes to get an athlete to perform, he also understands key aspects to unlocking your genetic potential with his holistic approach to training. Whether it be nutrition, meditation, sleep, morning and nightly routines, he knows that what you do off the pitch is as important if not more important than what you do on the pitch. He is the ultimate trainer. He will get you right no matter what area of your life you are looking to improve.
At the end of his training I feel so much more confident on the pitch and in life. I have gotten stronger, more consistent, become a better footballer, and the most important thing is that Eric has taught me how to get better at getting better. Eric has put me in a position to succeed in life and chase my dreams as a footballer and I couldn’t be more thankful and appreciative of that.
If you are serious about life and improving yourself in anyway Eric is the trainer for you. He will get you results and change your life for the good. At the end of this 6 months I feel like a totally different person as he has transformed my life in the best way possible. All love Eric, I truly appreciate everything you have done for me.

“At 25, I had no club, no agent, and no real path forward. RicFit
changed that. Eric gave me structure, accountability, and a

RicFit enough.”

Throughout this process, Ric has been in constant communication with me. I’ve learned a great deal about my body, its recovery needs, and how much further I can push myself. The workouts have been challenging, and working together for over 6 months allowed us to really focus on building my body up through specific phases. The emphasis on nutrition, mindfulness, sleep, and overall well-being truly sets Eric apart from most online trainers. I’ve become more mindful about my food, a change I credit largely to Eric’s guidance.
Overall, I went from 194 to 187 pounds and feel leaner, stronger, and better than ever in terms of movement and playing. Recovery has been a key aspect, especially with a few minor injuries I’ve encountered. Eric worked with me on rehabilitating those injuries while adapting and still progressing in my workouts.
It’s the attention to the small, purposeful details that has been most impactful. Beyond the physical improvements, I’ve gained a great friend in Ric.
Thanks, Ric. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their game and mindset to the next level.

“I’ve worked with top physios and performance coaches and
Ric’s right up there with the best. He helped me feel the fittest
I’ve been in over 7 years.
He breaks things down in a way that’s
simple and effective, and tailors everything to your body, goals,
and game. If you want to become a better footballer, his 1-on-1
coaching and app are a no-brainer.”

“I wanted to give football everything I had, no excuses.
Eric helped me do exactly that. From gym programs to ball work to
recovery, everything was tailored to my position and my body.
I improved physically, technically, and mentally.
Eric helped me sign my first pro contract and earn money from the game
I love! I played my highest level yet, 30 matches in a season, injury-free.
RicFit gave me structure, belief, and a real shot at my dream.”
Read More +
Eric came across as a very knowledgeable coach and, as a footballing professional himself, I knew he had the understanding of what was required to take my game to the next level.
I came to RicFit with the goal of becoming an overall better athlete and football player and improve my understanding of the work necessary outside of the football pitch.
After working with Eric for about 11 months, I can certainly say that it was a worthwhile investment, and I have improved in many aspects.
Eric helped me with programming gym workouts, speed, power and agility work, ball work sessions, and injury prehab based on what I needed for my position and previous injuries.
The workouts were often both mentally and physically demanding and truly required a serious commitment considering all that he programmed for me.
The programs were very well adapted based on where I was in the season and how I felt physically, and he was always very good at communicating the purpose of everything that we did.
For each exercise, there was a thorough video explanation, and if I had any questions regarding anything, he was very easy to communicate with.
The workouts were often fun, but I have also become better during this time.
I always showed up on the days even when I did not feel like working out and being consistent about putting the work in.
Eric takes a very holistic approach to coaching and the game and also gave great insight and strategies for my nutrition, sleep, the mental side of football, recovery, and overall tips to just feel better and achieve more in general.
I have implemented a lot of these things he taught me and made them habits in my daily life, which has improved my productivity and overall energy.
I have also seen some great progress physically by becoming leaner while still packing on some muscle mass. I have become stronger and more powerful on the pitch and feel like an overall better athlete.
I also improved my YoYo 2 test score from 19.2 to 21.1 during the time we worked together.
Even though that was never a main objective, it is always good to have greater stamina, no matter the position.
In terms of football, the ball work plans really helped improve my passing and distribution, which was one of the weakest aspects of my game, and now, I feel a lot more confident on the ball.
Last season I also remained injury-free apart from one small groin issue that, with Eric’s help, only needed a week to recover from.
Even though the season did not go as well as I had hoped for in terms of my own performance or the team’s results, I gained tons of new experience. I played in front of a crowd of over 2500 people on one occasion.
I ended up playing 18 games in the league in the third highest tier in Sweden and 30 games total in all competitions, which is the most I have played in many years and also the highest level I have played at.
As a coach, Eric is also very detail-oriented and was very consistent with check-ins to see how I was doing and how everything was going and progressing for me.
He certainly sets a great example himself in how he leads himself and his company.
Apart from that, he is a really good guy and has become a good friend.
I can certainly recommend players that are really serious about their footballing careers to work with Eric, no matter the position or age he will be able to adapt to your needs and goals.
So thank you, Eric, once again, and I look forward to what 2023 has in store.

Back to the physical program, I will use many parts of the program in my future routine and training. I had committed for 6 months, but unfortunately, we had to stop working together due to reasons that I will not share. It was from his side, three excellent and professional months, and I think those three months will help me in the rest of my career.

The program he lays out is always extremely thought out, and as someone who loves to understand the logic and thought behind the plan, he does an amazing job to make sure everything is explained and helped me see exactly how each exercise and drill translates into the game.
My main focuses were improving on my explosiveness and speed through gym work and my confidence on the ball through football work.
Through the six months, I have seen a great improvement in all those categories. My speed has increased to a point where I have even been played at a winger role for teams which even further improves my versatility as a player and makes me a more desirable asset for competitive clubs.
What makes Eric so special compared to other trainers and coaches is that he helps you develop every aspect of the athlete and human.
During my time with Eric, I have moved to Europe and gone on professional trials in Sweden and have been extremely successful thanks to Eric.
He is someone that has been through the process before and goes out of his way to share his experiences and help guide you through the process. He helped me find situations that best fit me and helped me develop a strategy for determining team setups that fit me best and has allowed me to make this first-time trialing in Europe an extremely successful one.
Throughout my time in Europe, my situation has constantly been changing and my access to gyms and equipment has changed as well and Eric was always extremely responsive and constantly willing to adapt to maximize the situation.
He truly embodies the mantra of “do what you can with what you have” and instilled a “no excuses” mindset in me throughout this entire process.
This program with Eric has helped me to develop a closer relationship with my body and nutrition, allowing me to feel more in control of my movements on the pitch and fueling my body appropriately to get the maximum performance.
The workouts have allowed me to feel stronger, fitter, and has developed a massive increase in my mind-muscle connection. My relationship with food has greatly improved as well thanks to Eric.
Eric is always there for you and truly makes it a personal connection. He is far more than a coach; he is a friend, and your success is his success.
I cannot recommend his program enough for those that genuinely want to take their performance to another level.

Eric is great at adapting to our needs. When I sprained my knee at the beginning of our work together, he sent me a program that allowed me to come back even stronger after just one month, as if I had never stopped playing.
He taught me how to dedicate 100% of my time to chasing my goals, developing proper habits and routines for training, learning, and recovery that I still use more than a year later. He helped me connect better with my body, understanding what it needs and listening to it through diet and sleep. These routines were crucial when I faced an ACL injury, enabling me to confront it with a better mindset, habits, and a solid muscle base, leading to a faster and better recovery. Even an hour after my injury, Eric reached out with a message to support me and provided tips and programs to work on my weaknesses (like my core, upper body, and feet).
Although I initially paid for six months, Eric continued to support me beyond that because of my injury, which I really appreciated. He’s a great coach and an amazing person!
I also love how dedicated and obsessed he is with taking his clients to the next level. The work behind his app is incredible, and it’s an amazing tool. I wish I had it sooner! It covers all aspects of the game and has significantly improved my skills, particularly my first touch, which has helped me score goals and make great passes.
I highly recommend Eric to anyone who wants to reach the next level in football and, more importantly, to anyone who wants to become a better person and take control of their life and health. My overall life has greatly improved thanks to him. Eric has played a big part in changing my life and my outlook on it. Thank you, Eric, for being a coach, a friend, and an example of resilience and dedication. I hope we can work together again in the future.

For the first time in my career, I wasn’t just the most
disciplined player, I was also the fittest.
Eric helped me become stronger, more mobile, and more powerful.
He adapted everything when I was injured, supported me through setbacks, and helped me build habits that stuck.
Eric was a huge part in helping me sign my first professional contract.
To anyone out there who wants to do the same, I highly recommend working with him 1-on-1! I’m a better footballer and a better person because of RicFit.

I came to Ric because I’d been following him on Instagram for some months, and for me, it was important to find someone who had a football background. I wanted to take the next step in my career and invest in my body. My goal was to get stronger and leaner on the pitch, but the main goal was to get a contract with a division 1 team in Sweden.
After working with Ric for over 6 months, I learned a lot about my body. But the most important of all was that Ric gave me my confidence back.
We worked together for 6 months, which I recommend to everyone, because you can start from the beginning and go through a couple of excellent phases that helped me improve a lot. He helped me with nutrition, recovery, and mindfulness.
I went from 86 to 81 kilos and felt leaner, stronger, and better than ever in terms of movement and playing. I also reduced my body fat from 16% to 9%. And yes, of course, I got the contract with the division 1 club and played my best football in the first half of 2021. I thank Ric for that!
Ric is not only your coach; he cares about you and your life. He has a heart of gold, which is what I love the most about him. He always checked in to see how everything was going. I can’t thank him enough for changing my life for the better.
I highly recommend Ric to those who want to take the next step in their career. There will not be a better coach for you!

The program that he provides for you is specifically tailored to you and your goals, and it’s one of the main reasons I grew so much not only as an athlete but off the field as well.
Eric lays out all the workouts and makes it easy for you to read them and simply go out and implement them in the gym and/or field.
He is very supportive and makes sure you understand the workouts, checks in with you every single week, and is always willing to get on a call to discuss more. Eric is very communicative, and not only does he check in with you as a trainer but as a friend, he really cares for his clients and goes above and beyond to develop a friendship with them.
He provides so much educational information as well. Not only within the workouts, but about the key role that nutrition plays in this process. Before I started working with Eric, I struggled to know what to eat and when to eat it, but he educated me on the best foods to fuel my body with, when I should eat certain foods, and just overall helped me build a good relationship with food where I’m still enjoying ‘sweets’ but in moderation.
He helped me develop healthier habits such as incorporating reading books, listening to podcasts, journaling, and planning out my day’s first thing in the morning.
These habits are all game changers and have helped me become mentally stronger, and I have been able to incorporate them into my healthier day-to-day routines that Eric also helped me with.
A prime example: I started to meal prep on Sundays, so I can start off the week eating right. I also set weekly goals for myself, whether that is doing all the workouts for the week, going to sleep and waking up at certain times, or drinking enough water.
Starting off the week with these habits helped me stick to this program and become more consistent and disciplined.
With everything he’s taught me, I can say I’m not only a much better athlete, but I’m 100% a much better person off the field as well.
Mentally, I don’t think I’ve ever been stronger and believed in myself as much as I do today, and I thank Eric for that.
This program is not at all easy, but if you’re really looking to develop on and off the field, and willing to do the work and set time for workouts, sometimes two workouts a day, watch and read all the information Eric sends you and implement it, I highly recommend working with Eric. He’s a great trainer and an overall great person!

I was always increasing the weight in the gym every phase, and everything that Ric programmed for me had a clear transfer and purpose onto the field. Ric helped me realize how an athlete should be working in the gym, emphasizing recovery work just as much as the actual gym work and nutrition itself.
It all ties together to make your body work to its best ability. The program was very easy to understand with all the guided videos. If I didn’t understand anything, Ric would clarify everything and always give me the proper explanation of each phase to ensure I knew why I was doing what I was doing. After working with Ric, my role on the team has improved.
I have more aspects of my game to offer to the team and have become increasingly more confident on the pitch as a result. From coming off the bench in most games, I have become a more vital role player, beginning to start more games, not just in one team but many.
My performance on the field improved by becoming more technical on the ball, my weak foot has improved and has become more comfortable through the progressive ballwork phases, and just consistently using it in training and individual sessions. My first touch has also become much better than before, and I feel very comfortable on the ball.
The program definitely helped me develop good habits and routines, such as nighttime and daytime routines to ensure that my body knows it is ready for the day. It helped me create the proper warm-ups to make sure I am warm and ready to play without causing injury.
These habits helped me develop discipline and even more confidence in myself. The program also changed my view and relationship with food. I have more knowledge on the proper foods needed to fuel me for matches, training, etc., and the foods that are aligned with my goals.
I have incorporated the 90/10 rule into my diet because I want to have discipline, but if I don’t eat aligned with my goals, then I know it is not the end of the world, and I do not have to feel bad about it at all. I have much more knowledge and experience with foods that can help me feel good and perform better on the pitch. Eric, as a coach, was great; he was always there when I messaged him and if I needed him. If he doesn’t respond within a couple of minutes, he usually responds in a couple of hours.
I was able to come to him for anything (football, gym, or life-related), and I always knew he would be 100% honest with me about everything. Checking in weekly was very beneficial to let him know how I was doing in everything, and it helped me create a real relationship with someone I met on Instagram.

Throughout the 6 months we have worked together, I have improved in every aspect of football, as well as in everyday life. In terms of football, I am stronger, faster, and more fit now than when we started working together. My top speed has improved noticeably, I have put on some muscle that I was lacking before, my muscular endurance has improved, and I feel much more confident on the pitch. Confidence was something I struggled with at the start of our time together, but it is something I no longer regularly struggle with. I am playing the best football I have ever played, and I am confident that it is only the beginning. This is due to the advice that Eric has given me, and the multitude of resources that he has shared with me.
The program is extremely easy to follow, and everything is laid out for you. If you do not see results, it is because you did not execute. The way Eric designs the plan ensures that you have no excuse to not put the work in. I also struggled with a few small injuries and illnesses for a few weeks, and I was sent modified versions of the workouts/training sessions that allowed me to continue to train. This attention to detail is something that is invaluable, and definitely makes the program unique.
Eric was always available for communication, and before I traveled abroad to play football, he reached out multiple times on the phone to give me advice, and to ensure that I was prepared. Working with Eric goes well beyond the surface level of “work” and it really becomes a relationship. The small details in the weekly emails and the phone calls made a big difference in what I got out of the program. Connecting on a personal level, and hearing his personal stories as they related to my experience was something that I did not expect when I applied for the program, but it shows the type of person Eric is. He genuinely wants the best for his clients, and it definitely shows.
I have developed mentally as well, and my discipline has improved dramatically. This benefits my football, as well as my life outside of football. My relationship with food has improved through the knowledge I have gained regarding nutrition, and I have also been able to share this knowledge with my friends, family, and teammates.
Overall, the program has made an immense impact in my life. I have not only grown as a footballer, but as a person as well. I am very fortunate to have developed this relationship with Eric, and I hope other people are as fortunate as I am in the future. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to improve their mind, and improve as a footballer.

“Ric helped me sign my first pro contract when no one else believed in me.
Over 6+ months, he helped transform my body into the machine I always wanted: stronger, faster, and more confident on the ball.
His mobility and ball work made a huge
difference in how I move and play.
On top of that, he built a full routine for me: nutrition, recovery, sleep, mindset. It wasn’t just training, it was a lifestyle shift. And the best part?
He’s always in contact and truly cares about your results”

Working with Eric for 6+months was worth it, my body has transformed into the machine that I wanted it to be! He is also always in context with you and wants the best results for you, no BS. That’s what separates him from other trainers. I am very thankful I’ve gained an awesome friendship with Eric and this won’t be the last time I’m going to be working with him. Thank you Ric for everything you did for me, I highly recommend this to anyone who really wants to play at the next level and want to become a successful person.

Eric made the program easy to use by providing examples for every type of workout.
I became quicker and much more mobile on the field since starting to stretch and do different types of mobility. The strength aspect really benefited me and I feel like it got me stronger and even more fit.
I became the fittest I have ever felt on the pitch. I feel like on the pitch I improved so much.
I became the highest goal scorer on my team and in high school I started every league game and put up very consistent performances.
I saw a good change in my mindset and some things that did help make my mind right were meditating and reading.
The nutrition piece was very big, on how Eric gave so many different options on different things to eat and when to eat them.
Over time I felt way more composed and just happier to be on the ball. I started to try to get on the ball way more and it benefitted both my team and myself.
Eric was awesome to have as a coach and as a friend. He always got back to me whether it was through email or WhatsApp. He was overall just a great person to have on my team and to have to help support me throughout my journey. If you want to take your life to the next level, I would definitely say to work with Eric.

As I’m now stepping into the senior football scene in Norway it has been great to become stronger and gain muscle.
As an example, I can now match many more of my opponent’s physiques and for example, challenge them on the shoulder-to-shoulder challenges.
I was known for being more of a slow-paced footballer, but as I progressed with the speed workouts, I am now considered one of the faster players on my current team!
When it comes to the technique drills it has helped me feel like the ball is glued to my feet. I have always been comfortable with the ball, but continuously repeating these technical drills you get the feeling that you can’t lose the ball.
The program was easy to understand, and each month when Eric sent me new exercises I usually spent 1 day writing down all the exercises on my phone and memorizing each exercise.
I started working with Eric playing junior football. I did not make it into the senior team at that club. I was also struggling with a little injury which ruined some of my chances of making it into their senior team. I now play for another team but on the senior level and with everything I have learned from this program from nutrition, recovery to workouts I am looking forward to playing football on this new level of difficulty.
I can say that I have definitely gotten a ton of value for my money!

Working with Eric was the best decision of my life. He has improved every area of my life from what I should eat and should not eat and when to go to bed.
During the entire time working with Eric, he keeps in close contact with you and is always there if you have a question or just want to get on the phone and talk. Eric has taught me a ton about my body such as recovery and how important eating the right foods is for performing on the pitch.
Eric is hands down the best coach/mentor. This guy has changed my life for the better. I can’t thank him enough. Throughout this entire process, Eric has guided me every step of the way.
At the end of it, Eric has become a close friend of mine. Thank you so much Eric for all you have done for me. I really appreciate it.
I highly recommend Eric to anyone looking to improve their life for the better and push to the next level whether that be in work or football. Eric is the best coach/mentor.

Even though I know a lot about nutrition. The information you provided was so so well-detailed, but at the same time, easy to read and easy to put into action. I also really trust in the plan and you, and trying to cut back my cardio and focusing on functional lifts, and mobility more than OVERWORKING the shit outta my body. Like you say, I feel, look and perform the best I ever have. I look forward to continuing to work together!

I started working with Ric 9 months ago, and My experience has been unique.
When I began working with Ric, I was passing through a severe MCL injury and partying too much as a coping mechanism that affected my recovery, relationships, and grades. I could also say I was at a low point.
With Ric, we first focused on recovering my knee with specific workouts for my MCL that became part of my weekly routine. We also adapted a particular gym routine for soccer players that helped me reduce injuries, improve my speed and gain agility. On the other hand, he gave me some soccer drills during the week. These drills were simple and super effective, and another significant aspect of Ric’s program was the amount of information I learned about nutrition and wellness. With Ric, I could be creative with my food, and instead of doing a diet, I created a lifestyle that I can sustain in the long run. Last and I think my most prominent takeout from these nine months is my mentality change. Not just on the soccer field, I understood the value of mental and physical wellness. Also another significant aspect of having Ric is his adaptability when you need help with a minor injury, and he could cover all those little details.
Things I achieved with Ric:
-I overcame my MCL injury without having stepbacks
– Committed to a D2 school from a community college
– Became an outstanding student with a 4.2 GPA
– Played all games I had since then, all 90 minutes without injuries.
– I currently I’m part of a USL2 squad
– Have new personal projects going on besides soccer.
-Traveled to South America and different parts of the U.S due to soccer.
Thanks, Ric. I have no doubts we will work together again in the future.

After 6 months of proper training and discipline (key aspect) I’m now able to keep up with guys much bigger than I am. I have gotten a lot faster as well. It’s crazy to think that these results are possible in only 6 months, which I why I’m very likely to continue the program for a longer period.
On the pitch I have been able to play like never before. I’m more confident on the ball. I can play 90 minutes. I can play all positions. I’ve performed in huge opportunities which I never thought I’d even be able to get in to. I still have a long way to go and a lot of work to put in as I am early in my career. However, these past 6 months were a very good start to see how serious I’d have to be to get where I want to go.
Mentally I have changed a lot. I now think of things I can’t do as a “challenge” rather than a “barrier”. I have dialed my self to wake up early. Go to the Gym early. Stay focused off the pitch. This game is very beautiful, yet has a very bumpy journey. You have to be prepared physically and mentally for what life (not just football) throws at you. There are a lot of highs and lows in chasing your dream (unfortunately more lows hahahaha) however one must stay positive. Something I’d like to point it out while working with Eric was discipline. First off I have no clue how this man does what he does hahahaha. Makes you think this man has a different type of 24 hours. This is the standard that I was held up to this past period.
Moving into nutrition, man have we been lied too lol. Nutrition isn’t just about what you eat, it’s also your relation with food. I was enlightened with MANY (yes MANY) tips and tricks about nutrition. It literally can determine how you perform. This shows how much my boy Ric emphasizes on basics (he just takes it up a notch hahaha). He would focus on basic topics and would dive into many beneficial aspects. Rather than just give many topics and give bland explanations. For example he’d focus on sleeping, eating well, stretching (a lot of stretching), obviously a fresh trim hahahaha,etc. with lots of details
The ball mastery aspect of the program sharpens your basics. I definitely seen less mistakes in my game. It’s something that may not look the most fun, but very rewarding.
As I said earlier I genuinely don’t know how this man runs his account, runs his program, launching an amazing app soon, responds in a veryyyy reasonable time period…. While he also has his own training/own season going on. I loved the communication process. It wasn’t “annoying”, as in always texting/emailing about nonsense. It was very straightforward and will cover what we need. He communicated with me on damn near every type of social media lol. He also respects people’s privacy, beliefs, and current situation.
Somethings I personally will always have from now on are discipline alongside faith. I now know that hey maybe I can reach my goals with hard work. I have never had anyone guide me before, so to see results means I gotta be heading in the right direction. To sum up these past 6 months in a quote… “The sky is the limit” literally lol. It may sound basic and repetitive but hey man the sky is the limit. I want to thank you much for your help. It was very genuine and wasn’t just a money grab. Stay safe my guy and hopefully we can work together in the future.
Thank you,

My biggest takeaway from Ric was the nutritional aspects. He helped me to become more conscious of what I was eating and identified things that I could do to achieve better results.
The program was very organized for me & very doable time-wise because he works around your schedule. He was a very good catalyst for progress.

Till this day a fire still burns inside me to reach my goal of playing professionally which I put on such a high pedestal. Crushing 2 a days everyday and taking any and all advice from the big man RicFit when it comes to optimal nutrition and performance based training on all planes. I decided to focus solely on my core to build my foundation as RicFit suggests and as you can see it’s paying off but we’re nowhere near done! At this level incremental improvements are what make the difference and I without a doubt believe RicFit will get me to where I need to go and beyond…

I came in wanting to get stronger, leaner, and an overall more powerful and explosive scorer and become more diverse in my skill set. I also wanted to work with Eric because of his background as a footballer who knows what it’s like traveling the world and still having to perform. I’ve traveled between Europe and the US and it can be very mental and I was able to adapt and work with Eric based on what resources I had available. Eric understands this whole process fully as he’s done it himself, and succeeded at a high level.
During this entire process Ric has been in communication with me. I’ve learned a ton about my body, what it needs to recover and how much more I can actually push myself. There have been some very challenging moments along the way. Understanding how to properly manage a work/life balance, adjusting to a new team and establishing your role as a leader. Working together for 6+ months was definitely a huge benefit as we were really able to focus on building the body up through certain phases.
Other aspects that helped were nutrition, mindfulness, sleep, and overall well-being is what really separates Eric from most online trainers. The most important aspect Ric emphasized with me is my lifestyle choices. He took time to carefully get to know me and understand where my life was in the beginning of our journey and created a playbook for me on how I can get to where my goals are in a sustainable fashion. I’ve become more mindful with my food and I really credit Eric for helping me with that. Overall I went from 178 to 170 pounds in and feel leaner, stronger, and better than ever when it comes to movement and playing. Recovery has also been key in this. A few times I picked up minor injuries and he worked with me on rehabbing those while adapting and still moving forward in my workouts.
Being very purposeful and intentional in the little details. Even more, I’ve gained a great friend and a brother for life. Thanks Ric. I highly recommend this to anyone who is serious about pushing themselves to the next level in their game and mind.

So I simply bulked up like a bodybuilder would do. But that was the worst mistake I ever made. I gained weight too quickly and got knee problems because of the stress on the knees when training every day on the pitch and in the gym.
Eric showed me how footballers should train in the gym, how to include plyometrics, how to recover and how to eat properly. You can have the best training plan in the world but when you eat like a kid, it’s almost useless! In addition, I started focusing on routines. I got to bed early, slept 8+ hours every night and fairly improved in every aspect of life because of more energy and learning how to structure my day. By journaling through the process, you realize that step-by-step, your strength and football ability gets better and better.
Unfortunately, my knees got worse again when I excessively trained on turf, but it took Ric 2 days to work on a new phase in my program that focused on strengthening the knees and muscles around the knee. After a long time, I finally managed to be back on the pitch! We still managed to get stronger and faster than I’ve ever been before.
Thanks for everything Eric!

You don’t feel tired or sore due to RicFit providing essential workouts + recovery + nutrition resulting in a stronger, mobile, aesthetic body that feels flexible and great. His workouts get you shredded and activate and targets muscles that you never thought you had in your body. It will sculpt the lower back, hips, core, and leg muscles, as well as the upper body. He helps you build a solid base, and I would recommend his program to any footballer looking to get to the next level or anyone trying to get into great shape.

As a futbol player, I wanted to get better physically, along with building some muscle to prevent injury. Eric was able to help me accomplish this and much more! He built programs around my goals and helped me manage the correct nutrients I needed to put into my body to perform my best. Please understand, none of the workouts were simple and easy. Each one progressively got harder which helped me understand how much I could actually push my body.
If you ever had any questions or help, he was always there. There were additional resources provided almost every Sunday that were just extra gems of knowledge. It was not only about getting the results quickly , but learning to enjoy the process alongside with it.
Overall, I have felt more competent on the pitch. I don’t eat the same junk that I used to eat on a daily basis. My recovery turned into my top priority and I keep a solid routine week by week. To become a pro Futbol player, you need the discipline that Eric preaches. He has quality work and he WANTS to see you improve. I am truly grateful for this program. It is something I hope I can continue to implement into my life from now on!

Not only was this down to Ric providing me with a programme that fit my sport, weight and schedule, but the knowledge and guidance he provided on my diet and why I should or shouldn’t eat certain foods. Knowing why I was eating certain things makes sticking to the diet a lot easier and since I started the programme I began to feel even better every single day through the changes in my diet. This programme definitely changed my life in many ways and has genuinely set me up for life because I now know what foods I should be eating and what my gym workouts should look like, and I got to see the benefits of being consistent first hand.
What makes Eric stand out from all other personal trainers, is his care for his clients and genuine interests about how they are getting on in their sport and with their workouts and is always checking up weekly to ensure he is there to guide you if you’re struggling.
The changes and the knowledge that I gained thanks to this programme will stay with me forever and it put me on the right path and I know what I need to continue to do.
I progressed massively in these past 6 months and i highly recommend working with Eric if you want to change the direction of your life, as you will gain so much knowledge whilst also seeing fantastic results.

His message of discipline and consistency was exactly what I needed to reach my next level. Plus, his knowledge of nutrition, exercise, mental and emotional components of fitness, and soccer were evident through his content. His willingness to share this knowledge and help teach others is another reason I wanted him to coach me.
I enjoyed all his workouts. They were intense but were also able to supplement rest days and mobility along with them. His consistent communication made it easy to keep contact and manage my progress. In addition, I greatly appreciated the documents full of advice on a variety of topics that he sent out every week. I felt great improvements in my workouts and my fitness on the soccer field. When I first started with Ric I couldn’t do a single push-up, now I am able to reach at least 20. Three months in I broke my knee in a soccer game but Ric adjusted all my workouts so I could continue to improve. I had a very weak upper body so we took that time to really focus on strengthening it. I was benching weight I didn’t think I could ever lift, pushups became easier and returning to soccer was much easier because of this. I stayed with Ric after 6 months because I knew he would help me return to full play safely and efficiently as well as prevent any possible injuries. I worked with Ric for 9 months and his guidance has greatly helped me improve as an athlete and my lifestyle. I would recommend Ric to anyone who is looking to take their soccer or life to the next level.

I have also become a lot more mindful of what food I put in my body and the amount of sleep I get. Eric has given me so much advice on this and made me really understand the importance of this not only on the body but the mind as well.
I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to work with Eric as he has provided me with excellent workouts, recovery sessions and ball work exercises.
All these things have helped me to become better over time as my journey goes on.
I have seen myself become leaner and stronger as well as maintaining my admired body weight.
Eric has also been a great friend throughout this program and a great mentor to me and someone I now look up to and a person who gives me great inspiration in life, Eric has also helped me make sure I always
maintain a high standard as he does for himself.
One thing that really stuck with me is that Eric encourages that I do everything with the same detail as I would for a gym workout or a football session, that could be making dinner or even making my bed.
This has helped to improve my discipline and importance of taking care of the little things in life as well as the bigger tasks.
I highly recommend this programme to anyone who wants to take their game and life to the next level, a professional level.
Thanks for the help and guidance brother.

I ended up losing body fat and gaining muscle which helped me become a more athletic player. The blueprint of workouts and nutritional advice he provides is so simple and easy to understand: yet it encompasses everything that needs to be done for you to reach your goals.
Undoubtedly I got better as an athlete but the biggest change I saw in myself came in other areas of my life. My productivity skyrocketed once we started working together. I started following a morning routine that required me to complete footwork drills, stretch, and read, every single morning. I did these every single day without fail. I began to schedule out my days and what needed to get done at certain times, drastically increasing the amount of tasks I completed in a given day. This discipline even affected my academics, I had always been an honor roll student, but once I started working with Eric I became so dialed in every aspect of life that I didn’t have a single class grade drop below a 97.
His easy to follow guidelines and principles for life, combined with his constant communication with you due to his commitment to helping you succeed creates an environment in which it’s actually extremely difficult in order to not improve in some way. I really don’t see Eric as simply a soccer coach, he is the ultimate life coach and has helped improve my life immensely.

When we started to work together he told me right away that my results are his results, and that’s the way it is, as long as I did the best I could and was honest with him, he did his best to help me improve in all the possible ways there are.
We had weekly contact through email and it isn’t only the workouts he sends me, he also tries to teach you things along the way. Every week he sends you videos and files on the mind, body and nutrition.
These 6 months of work have been a lot of fun but also a lot of hard work and required a lot of discipline. You learn to set goals and strive every single day to reach them. There are a lot of challenging workouts that I was not familiar with which made me a lot stronger physically and mentally.
The gym work and the nutrition Ric helped me with made a huge difference on the pitch. It made me feel stronger, faster and more athletic.
My stamina increased a lot and the ball mastery workouts were a big part of my technical improvements. They made me a lot more comfortable with the ball in training and games.
I went through some injuries, COVID and some other issues, and when I needed to talk, Ric called me right away and tried to make me feel better and find a way to see through these problems and find a new perspective for them. He helped me keep going, and stay on track even if I wasn’t in the best state. He really understood what I was going through and just wanted to help out in every way he could. I appreciate all he did and I will always be thankful for everything he did.
To anyone who wants to improve on and off the pitch, I highly recommend that you get in contact with Eric. He will make a huge difference in your life.

I wanted real, lasting results. I am also very disciplined, and all of the coaches or trainers that offered these programs never really seem to care about you or your results. They just want your money. I also have a genealogy of knee problems that I have avoided so far, and really wanted to strengthen my knees to continue to prevent those. Ric is very attentive to details, and you can truly tell that he cares, because your results are his results.
I also really wanted to get faster and stronger. Being only 5 foot 6 as a fullback isn’t the norm, but I knew it was possible. The workouts were hard, and I didn’t always want to do them. But as long as I wasn’t sick or injured, I forced myself to go to the gym and get my workout in because that was how I would see results. They aren’t incredibly time consuming; only an hour to an hour and a half each session. But in these last 6 months, I have seen a change that took me all of high school to find on my own. Through these workouts, I’ve seen my progress on the pitch, and I have the confidence to keep up with grown men much taller and bigger than I am.
One of the biggest things I took from his program was nutrition. I learned that eating healthy does not mean eating bland chicken, rice, and broccoli 3 meals a day, 7 days a week. I can eat incredibly delicious food and look forward to each meal without stressing about my goals. I also learned about the importance of sleep, recovery, and stretching/mobility. This is truly what sets Ric apart from the rest, and what can separate you from the crowd as a footballer.
Overall I stayed about the same weight, gaining only 2 or 3 pounds, but I lost a lot of body fat and put on a lot of muscle. In the mirror I look a lot better than I ever have, and I have so much more energy than before. I feel stronger and faster than before, while putting on muscle at the same time.
To Ric, there’s no words to describe how grateful I am and how much I have learned from you these past 6 months. To anyone trying to play at the next level, there is no one better to go to than the man himself. Ric is a true friend and wants you to succeed just as badly if not more than you do.

I wanted to start from the ground up and not find a quick fix overnight, but rather develop habits that I could carry with me and pass to others throughout life. As soon as I got on the phone with Eric for the first time I realized he was going to be the guy to get me back on track and keep me accountable for achieving my dreams.
Throughout the 6 months Eric communicated diligently on multiple platforms, whether it be a weekly check in email, a text to see how I was doing, or a phone call just to catch up as friends and see how life was going in general he was there for me throughout the whole process and is someone I can call a fantastic trainer, but an even better friend at the end of the day. With that being said he was a friend that pushed me to reach my fullest potential and continues to lead himself and others to their best lives through soccer and fitness.
His workouts were ruthless to be fair, many of them pushed me to a very high level and that is why I achieved the results I did working with Eric. His workouts consisted of absolutely everything you can imagine, he works with you on your moment and mobility on the field, technique on the ball, strength, power, agility, speed, endurance, pliability, mental strength, and many more aspects of your fitness.
With Eric being so good at understanding fitness and what it takes to get an athlete to perform, he also understands key aspects to unlocking your genetic potential with his holistic approach to training. Whether it be nutrition, meditation, sleep, morning and nightly routines, he knows that what you do off the pitch is as important if not more important than what you do on the pitch. He is the ultimate trainer. He will get you right no matter what area of your life you are looking to improve.
At the end of his training I feel so much more confident on the pitch and in life. I have gotten stronger, more consistent, become a better footballer, and the most important thing is that Eric has taught me how to get better at getting better. Eric has put me in a position to succeed in life and chase my dreams as a footballer and I couldn’t be more thankful and appreciative of that.
If you are serious about life and improving yourself in anyway Eric is the trainer for you. He will get you results and change your life for the good. At the end of this 6 months I feel like a totally different person as he has transformed my life in the best way possible. All love Eric, I truly appreciate everything you have done for me.

I’ve had experiences with personal trainers and good off-season workout programs, but because I was going to a level I’d never played at, I wanted to prepare in a way I never had before.

I’ve had experiences with personal trainers and good off-season workout programs, but because I was going to a level I’d never played at, I wanted to prepare in a way I never had before.
Eric is an absolute machine. When we spoke on the phone, I knew we were going to be an unreal fit. His attention to detail in terms of my goals, habits, workout experience/preferences, nutritional knowledge was unbelievable.
He made note of so many different things to make sure we were creating a comprehensive program that would take me exactly where I needed to go and would make sure I was not only ready for the season, but would come in and dominate.
My path changed towards the end of our time together as I decided to stay in the US and start a family.
Eric had no problem shifting my goals and making a few small changes to the program.
At the end of our time together, I had reached such a high level of fitness, had dropped my body fat percentage to what was optimal for me (not always important in relation to being a good soccer player), I had increased my strength, and my mobility/flexibility was the best it had been in years.
I want to keep this simple so anyone who’s looking/thinking to get involved with Eric and wants to take their athletic/soccer/fitness journey to the next level knows exactly what to expect. Listed below are huge takeaways of things I’ve experienced with Eric.
The program is absolutely tailored towards your goals, and everything about the program is personalized. Eric’s attention to detail when creating these programs is second to none. Imagine having someone say, “Hey. I know where you want to go. I can help you get there. I’ve provided the map for you. All you must do is follow the path and stay on course. If you can do this all the way to the “x” I’ve marked on the map, I promise you’ll get there.” That’s exactly what these personalized programs are.
Another huge takeaway is Eric doesn’t make you dependent on him for knowledge. He’s always available to talk and answer questions, and he’s always providing you with resources to further your own learning.
He doesn’t hold anything back or make you feel like you will need to continue to go to him for the rest of your life. He provides you with as much material as you want and there’s tons of research to back up the information provided. He’s educating you not just for the amount of time you’re working together. He’s educating you for life.
Eric is in constant communication and is there for you for more than just soccer, nutrition, conditioning, etc. He genuinely cares about you as a human being and values meaningful relationships. In saying this, I’m not sure how many people reading this truly have a busy schedule in their day-to-day, but for Eric to take the time to be available for you in conjunction with what he has going on in his own life is unmatched. Finding a machine like him is extremely rare in this industry.
The last big takeaway from working with Eric is he’s a straight shooter. He’s not going to sit there and tell you what you want to hear. He’s working with you to help you reach your goals. He’s always going to be honest with you and tell you exactly what you NEED to hear so he can best help you continue to make progress toward whatever goal you’re trying to achieve.
I’ve had experience with personal trainers for other preseason preparations and Eric is by far the best.
He’s basically the J Cole/Drake/Kendrick Lamar of the trainer game. If you’re seriously looking to take your journey to the next level, he’s your guy!

It is a change in lifestyle rather than just following the workout and hope a quick result. As Eric always said ‘’Real change takes times”, it is lame but it is true indeed. At the start of each phase, Eric and I usually have a phone call talking about how the previous phase went, what’s work and what doesn’t work, then we move on to the goal of the next phase, like building more strength or getting match fit. After that, we decided the amount of workout depends on my daily schedule, it varies from time to time. It is 100% personalized and based on my personal goal. Also, in terms of nutrition, I used to send pictures of what I eat daily to Eric and he will give me feedback. Our approach to what I eat is that we don’t count
calories, instead, we focus on good sources of protein and veggie, and adding carbs based on daily activities level. Besides the program itself, Eric is one of the most disciplined guys I have ever seen. He is dialed and it influences me a lot and also keeps me accountable. It is always a long process but the outcome will be rewarding, and WORKING WITH RIC FIT IS THE WAY TO GO!!!!

I discovered Ric through social media and ever since I saw him, his content and his work ethic through his vlogs in YouTube I felt very connected with him and his story. I then got really into his podcast as well and got into fully everything that he did.
“I came to Eric wanting to build speed and strength and I left with so much more.
He helped take me from Division 3 college to signing a PRO contract.
I became leaner, faster, and more
technically confident. He also helped me with habits that changed my life: journaling, reading, meal prepping, goal setting. I came to Eric wanting to build speed and strength and I left with so much more.

I have worked with Ric for more than two years and since the beginning when we started I saw and felt the change. My mobility, recovery, strength, speed and power improved drastically. I got injured a couple times during games and he was able to help me recover and get me back to playing without any relapses which was amazing. The program was very fun and easy to understand with all the videos and examples he provided everything was pretty straightforward and clear.

- Being called up to my national team
- Getting into a top college program
- Being the fittest guy on many of the teams I’ve been to
- Playing USL 2 and UPSL
- Actually playing and training with a pro team
This has made me feel a lot more confident on the ball, and has put me in the top in technical abilities of many of the teams I’ve been into. I also feel a lot more faster and agile on the pitch too.
Since I just needed to execute, the program helped me develop a lot of discipline and consistency, because he gave me everything and I just needed to execute, so for this I was able to develop discipline that translated to other areas in my life.
In terms of nutrition, the program opened my eyes and changed my life completely. I was totally wrong and doing a lot of things before Ric in terms of nutrition that were damaging my performance, and I wasn’t recovering properly too. But after Ric everything changed, and my knowledge about nutrition and habits changed completely for the best, now I perform to my best each day and recover even better.
Eric as a coach was the best. He was always there for me when I needed him and he was giving me videos and tips to be better each and every week. He also pushed me to become the best version of myself.
If you are driven to be successful and you want to get to a high level I would 100% recommend Ric. He will get you to reach your potential, and he will get you to the highest level possible if you execute everything he tells you to do.
He changed my life, and I know he can do it with yours too.

My nutrition and workouts have been game changing and I’ve already seen a massive difference in my body. In my darkest of times and struggles you continued to support me and overcome the biggest obstacles and barriers along my journey so far.

The value you provide for your clients is second to none and I don’t believe anyone else would be the same.

I always followed RicFit but wasn’t sure where to start. Once I joined, everything changed.
Over 9 months, including 6 leading up to my move overseas.
I became leaner, more disciplined, and more confident in every part of my game.
Ric helped me lock in my training, improve my nutrition, and level up mentally. That structure helped me sign my first
professional contract in Costa Rica.
He truly cares about your success, on and off the pitch and the habits I built working 1-
on-1 with him will stay with me for life.
Ric helped me sign my first professional contract in Costa Rica! Without him, I wouldn’t have been able do it!
Ric is an excellent person and I look forward to working with him in the future.

Even after finishing, I still stick to the habits it built.
That’s the power of RicFit, it’s not just about getting stronger, it’s about becoming the kind of person who doesn’t
quit.
I’d recommend it to anyone serious about improving every area of their life.

I worked with RicFit for a total of 6 months. I went from 245lbs down to 225lbs and I’ve never felt better in my life. I got exactly what I asked for from Eric. I felt like I could run longer on the field playing pick up with my friends. My awareness on the field grew as well as I wasn’t struggling too much to get a breath of air. My nutrition, sleep and training were working all together to help me just slim down and perform better. A good 6-8 hours of sleep each night left me well rested and my nutrition never restricted me from eating anything so I never felt hungry or guilty about eating anything. Everything just had to be controlled. To this day I’m still able to maintain a happy and healthy lifestyle that I will forever be grateful that Ric could help me out with.
Everything in this plan is thought out very well. I could not be happier with any coach. Ric to this day stays in touch with me and I’m glad I gained such a good friend like him. He cared very much about my well being during this whole time. Life sometimes gets in the way and he was very understanding and not just being a coach at all times for the money or for his status. He knows how to be a great friend and most importantly he just cares about our success.
Thank you Ric once again for changing my life. I definitely recommend anyone from all ages to give this a shot if you feel like you want to see more of what RicFit has to offer. Anyone that is still playing soccer and what’s to step up their game, this is just a no-brainer for someone like you.

After about a month I could really start seeing results. My strength had increased quite a bit and I had gained muscle and become leaner. I really noticed the strength increase when pre-season practice started and I found that I could push further off the wall on my flipturns than I had ever been able to before and the power from my kick had noticeably increased, so much so that my teammates called me out on it.
We just had our first swim meet and I am happy to say I had the fastest beginning season times I have ever had in my life! I have to say the RicFit meal plan was the best change for me. Like I said I had always struggled to put on weight and I went from 154lbs to 163lbs (and counting) in just over a month, mostly thanks to the meal plan!
Eric helped me realize that I wasn’t putting the right foods in the right portions into my body, and gave me the tools to achieve my goals. I could not have done it without him! Eric has an insane amount of knowledge on nutrition and he is only a text away so I can figure out very quickly if a certain ‘health’ food is actually good for me.

In addition, I wanted to work with Eric since I saw that he has experience with both US and European soccer, which was what I was after. At first, I was skeptical about investing my money into the RicFit program, but now I am convinced that it is worth it.
As a result of working with Eric, I have not only developed my soccer knowledge but I have also gained knowledge about how to exercise like an athlete and how to recover properly so that I can perform well on my next session.
Although the workouts were challenging, I managed the past six months with Eric to become more muscular and lean with lean muscle mass, and also significantly more explosive on the pitch. The exercises were set up well by having me start with body weight, which really helped me in the subsequent phases I did with him, which led to me becoming stronger than I would have expected. The other thing I would like to touch on is the nutrition and mindset advice he gave me which helped me, even more, to become more confident on the field since I no longer had to make any nerve-racking decisions and my diet was awful at the beginning and Eric helped me clean it up and eat like an athlete, i.e. eat for performance rather than aesthetics.
With Eric’s help, I went from 169 pounds to 176 pounds, which I feel stronger, faster, leaner, bigger, and I get a lot more compliments from people and girls as well. I also received help from Eric to fix my knee injury which I have been suffering from for three years by giving me rehab exercises. These exercises have greatly improved my ability to play soccer, and I can now play more than ever before.
Last but not least, I’d like to say that because of Eric, I have been able to get my name out in my province and I’ve been able to get my passion back for soccer and prevented myself from quitting on my dreams of becoming a pro. It was a blessing for me to have Eric as my trainer and also as a friend when I had tough times with the sickness. He was always there for me and I knew I could count on him. I didn’t have anyone else to talk to except him, so his presence was a blessing for me for sure.
It is my strong recommendation that anyone who is trying to improve themselves as an athlete or as a human being, is to follow Eric’s advice and level up both their game and mindset simultaneously. Many thanks to Eric!

Eric helped me build a healthy relationship with food which completely changed the game. He made it so simple to stick to healthy foods. This helped me to lose 4% body fat and it got me from 89kgs to 83kg which was close to the target weight. The workouts helped me on the field as well, I was quicker with my feet and had a better leap then before.
Eric was always just a text/phone call away which made life much easier. I would definitely recommend going to him if you have some goals to smash.
Thanks a lot bro!

I saw that Eric had a ton of very good videos online about what workouts to do and how to get locked in and focused on specific ball touches and nutrition. That was the key thing that locked me to Eric. I do not come from a healthy point of view; I would eat just about anything. With Eric, I learned how to eat and always think about what the reason is I am putting the food into my body. The reason behind it was always to fuel me and be ready for practice and games. I have also had a lot of injuries which I explained to Eric. My most recent one was a level 2 ankle sprain in the fall of 2019. After that injury, I spent months away from the game recovering slowly and eating unhealthily. But when I truly wanted to lock in and commit to changing myself and my body, I came to Eric.
When I explained everything to Eric, he made a program with the pure intentions of making you the best version of yourself. He really makes you work for it.
During the entire process it was always reinforced how protein and veggies and healthy complex carbs are ideal for my diet. He showed me how to implement these in a healthy and sustainable way. This was key for me because now when I look at menus when I go out to eat, I choose the healthy choice and not the greasy food that is not good for my mind and body. After one month I started to pick this up more and more. Everything that Eric showed me with his food guides and the recipes really brought a whole new taste in food. Cutting out foods and replacing it with healthier alternatives and more fruits and vegetables. When it came to recovery days, I didn’t know how to properly foam roll or stretch to make me a better athlete. With his recovery method, I became much calmer, more relaxed and stayed away from injury. Eric showed me the best ways to stretch & warm up before matches and get into game mode to make myself ready for games. The biggest thing Eric helped me with was my confidence. Eric showed me to become confident in myself, which was very tough in the beginning, especially after an Injury. This was a huge thing for me, as he believes in you and pushes you every single day to make yourself better, which helped me so much mentally and physically.
I went from 217 to 194 in 6 months with Eric and I can truly feel it on the pitch. Like he always says, the gym is just a way to get in there and focus on the right movements that you will use in games. You’re in the gym focus on becoming a better footballer, not to be a gym head.
Eric has the purest intentions to not only make you the best version of yourself, but he shows you with tough love and with knowledge. This isn’t something a lot of personal trainers do. Most personal trainers give you a workout and don’t truly care about your development. Eric does his coaching with a passion and this is why I recommend this coach. He is now a brother and good friend of mine.
Again, thank you Coach, I am grateful to call you a brother and close friend, and I appreciate you believing in me and pushing me to the next level. I am truly honored and grateful for your coaching and your knowledge.

That’s why I chose Eric, I’ve been a fan of his account for a while and always loved his professionalism and attention to detail.
During this entire process Eric has been in constant communication with me, pushing me and checking up on me. I’ve not only learned a ton about my body and being a footballer but also about life and how everything ties together.
There have been some very challenging workouts. There have been some ups and downs with small injuries, but Eric was understanding and tried helping me get back as quickly as possible.
Working together for 6+ months was definitely a huge benefit, where we built up a base and then worked up to becoming faster, stronger and more explosive. We also worked on my technique, becoming more confident and comfortable on the ball. The sessions got progressively harder and more tiring each phase, but as we built up a base and worked up, it felt like a standard session. This has helped me become more confident and comfortable on the ball, and also helped me almost never lose the ball.
I thank Ric so much for his guidance and highly recommend this program to anyone who really wants to push to the next level in their game and mind.

I came to Eric looking to get into better habits and also get back into playing shape. I wanted to gain strength, lose body fat, and improve my overall fitness levels. Since Eric has a background as a soccer player playing at a high level, I knew he understood what it would take to get back to playing at a high level even given my age.
During the entire process, Eric had maintained communication with me. He was always available to answer any questions I had about the workouts or movements and also supported me when things got difficult. He holds his clients accountable for their actions which ultimately pushed me to get through it without making excuses.
I enjoyed all of the workouts he created for me. They were all challenging but you are able to see the improvements every week as long as you stick to it. There were times I didn’t notice much improvement but just trusting the process and putting my faith in Eric showed that these results are not something that happens quickly. His phases address your goal and focus on improving in that specific area which has been the best workouts anyone could ask for.
He not only helps you with workouts but he offers a lot of information and advice about other things like nutrition, mindfulness, sleep, and overall well-being. He truly cares about his clients and their success not only in the gym but in everything they do which is something that is hard to find with other online trainers. Thanks to Eric, I have become more aware of my nutrition and how everything really affects my day starting with good sleep to a good morning routine to consistency which is what he preaches a lot.
Overall, I feel a lot better with my movements. I have become a lot stronger and my movements on the field or in the gym have significantly improved. I have kicked out a lot of bad habits and will continue to apply everything I have learned from him. I would constantly get injured when playing but since I started working with Eric he helped me to get over the injuries and since then I have been able to avoid injuries more than ever. There has been so much he has done for me to strengthen those areas and avoid injuries.
Eric has been there anytime I needed him and I truly value him as a trainer and more so a friend that I could rely on.
Thank you Eric! I highly recommend Eric to anyone who really wants to push their game to the next level or anyone who is looking to make improvements in their life and achieve a more healthy lifestyle that will leave you feeling amazing every single day.

I always thought my body would stay in shape because I had always been fit. But sure enough I put on the lbs and kept going up in body fat. I had no motivation to work out before work or after work. So I called up my boy Ricky and we’ve been going at it since. Unreal programs. Unreal recipes. Easy to follow and the boy is always a phone call away. Thanks for inspiring me to put in the work and helping me befriend my body again. Much love RICKY!

His work ethic and methods he has are just extraordinary. I started playing soccer from my early years and played at the highest levels (Indian national team u15 & u17) playing in tournaments in different countries all around the world for some years.
Due to some injuries and other things, I got totally away from football and saw myself as a skinny guy who nobody trusts in and to be very frank, I also started doubting myself as i was not at all in shape and clearly lacked the motivation to go back playing soccer. After following Eric , I found my desire to continue playing soccer and I chose to join Eric’s Elite 1 on 1 Program.
During the entire process, Eric was always there to communicate with me.
Whether I had a question about my workouts or my diet , he was always there and gave me the best advice possible.
He holds his clients accountable and he told me that before I joined his program, so we both gave our best to reach towards my goals and so I didn’t give any excuses. I enjoyed all my workouts he created for me and especially the ball work sessions.
Initially, I thought they are just basic things but after doing it for a few weeks, I was able to see results on the field. I felt quicker, more fluid and confident.
There were times I didn’t notice much improvement and to be very honest I thought about giving up but Eric was always there to say to trust in the process and I followed his advice and kept following the schedule.
He really understands my goals and came up with a complete plan which can directly hit my goals and make me feel good about myself at the same time.
He doesn’t only help in the workout sessions and ballwork sessions but I also gained a lot of information about my diet, nutrition, movements etc.
He showed me that how minor things done right can influence my game a lot and help me be at my best. He always stressed for movements and techniques to be done right rather than just lifting heavy to lift heavy. Overall, I feel a lot better with my technique, strength, movement on the field and how I feel with my diet.
I have become a lot stronger and my movements on the field or in the gym have improved a lot. Finally, I can say that I am on the right path towards my goals and all the credit goes to Eric who made me believe again that I have what it takes and if i keep following his advice and continue to be disciplined that one day i will achieve my goals. I also learned a lot about how to avoid injuries, as he always gives reasons behind his methods which I loved about every single phase.
Finally, I would like to say thank you Eric and I will always be thankful to you as a trainer and as a very good friend of mine that you finally helped me get over my insecurities and doubts and made me a better version of myself. I highly recommend Eric to anyone who truly wants to become a healthier person and especially to those who want to pursue soccer as a career.
Lastly, I would say I will always be a great admirer of yours and for sure soon will be back taking training with you.

But quickly, once I started with Eric, I noticed progress not only on my muscles and body composition, but my overall fitness too. I was loosened up, felt more nimble, and was able to make cuts and runs on the pitch that before I didn’t think I could. No matter the sport, or the goal, I am confident to say that Eric’s program will get you there, but not fast. These things take time, patience, and dedication, all of which I lacked before. No supplements got me here, except whey and some caffeine when sluggish.
There was no special workout that began given me cuts. It was all a process, that when put on paper and stuck to, paid off in the end. I cam to Eric weighing 187, rep benching barely 185 , and squatting around 225 rep on good days. 6+ months later I weigh 203, Bench rep 225, and my squat rep is 275. Ontop of that my core is stronger than its ever been, and all while still maintaining my flexibility. There’s no promise this will happen to you unless you commit to it. Its a series of waves, some highs, and for sure some lows, but you’ll always be improving with RicFit.

From the first time we talked, I knew he was the real deal. Eventually, I felt I needed help and that I couldn’t do it alone anymore. I applied to his 1 on 1 program and he accepted me! He broke down my plan into several areas, which were: the gym workouts, ball work, and nutrition. They were completely tailored and individualized to me.
He made a plan that was safe for my knee but also challenged me. He constantly gave me new recipes and made me an expert on my nutrition.
He also sent me ball work so I could improve on the field. He does check-ins regularly and gets on calls whenever you need him. He helped me build solid muscle and lose fat.
The most impressive part of his program was that it allowed me to return to soccer more smoothly.
I feel I am a better player and person as a result of this program. He gives you every opportunity to improve yourself. He provides videos about the mental side of things as well.
However, the most valuable part of his program is 100% access to him. I look up to him as a role model and even more importantly as a friend. He has guided me and shaped me greatly. If you are lucky enough to work with him you will understand. There is no one out there like him.

I came into the coaching with the goal of gaining 5kgs of muscle while also becoming faster, more explosive and stronger. I also wanted to get better as a footballer in order to break into the starting 11 at my new team which was at the highest level I ever played at. I’m proud to say I achieved all of these goals and more during the coaching process. Perhaps my biggest takeaway from the coaching is the change in mindset and the knowledge I’ve gained.
This is not some one size fits all program to get you jacked in 30 days. This is a highly demanding, personalized coaching partnership where you will get results if and only if you do what’s required of you. If you can manage this, the coaching will be worth every single penny and more.

Before the injury, I was following the plan very consistently for the first stage, honestly never got to touch the second stage you made for me because of the knee injury. At the time I didn’t know what was wrong with it so I stopped running activity and any squaring motion because it hurt.

I would recommend your program to anyone because it trains your body to do proper movements without much weight. It taught me that one clean rep with proper form speed and control yields better results then squatting 400 pounds with improper form.
Once through surgery and PT I will return to your program because for the 6 weeks I was on it I saw and felt results.

But, due to a concussion and some other stuff, I got off the grind for a while. I withdrew from college, and I am now training as hard as I can to play d1 again.
When I start working and getting some money I will so try to be back in the RicFit army.
I watch your videos every morning, and they motivate me to try to get a little better every day. I have a RicFit notebook where I try to practice the same scheduling and goal exercises that you do. Since going back on the grind you have a lot of influence on my everyday motivation. So, thank you so much for that.

I am very particular about the details of fitness; I like to know that what I am doing will lead me down the right path and that my program is optimal for me. Working with Rick was the best decision I made on my fitness journey. I was struggling with managing and dialing in the health aspects I had been neglecting. Sleep, nutrition, recovery, mentality, and the workouts themselves are all the things Rick helped me to understand and adopt into my routine in a way that was manageable. Whether it be diet tips, sleep hygiene, or breathing exercises, everything he recommended to me enriched my life and dialed in my fitness even more.
I went from 215 pounds to 166 over my journey with Rick. I had slip-ups and struggles along the way, but he never gave up on me and was always there to offer guidance and support. My mobility, strength, and endurance improved massively along the way, and my relationship with food is finally where I want it to be. He was invaluable in helping me to not only progress physically to where I am today but mentally as well. I have made a great friend in Rick, and I am grateful I came across such a knowledgeable and compassionate teacher when I needed it the most.
I cannot recommend his services enough. If you are looking to allocate the planning side of things to a person with the knowledge to dial everything in for you, Rick is the man for it. He will give you pertinent information at every stage and explain it in detail so you can utilize it in your journey. Thank you, Rick, for all you have done in helping me take control of my health, and I look forward to working with you again in the near future.

His program is tough and requires a lot of work, but it is also very enjoyable and gets you results if you follow the blueprint. Doing the program helps you develop crucial habits for you as an athlete. It teaches you discipline and helps you build routines that will benefit you for the rest of your life. The program is easy to understand and simple to follow, there is no thinking required, only action.
Besides helping me with the physical side of the game, working with Eric helped form a technical perspective as well. The program includes a variety of different drills to help improve your confidence and comfort on the ball, which of course is crucial for a footballer.
As a coach Eric was truly incredible. We were in constant communication throughout these past 18 months, and he was always there for me whenever I had a question about the program or just wanted to chat about life in general. As my coach Eric changed me as an athlete, physically and mentally, but besides being my coach he also became my friend, always looking out for you and pushing you on to greater things. After these 18 months I can only thank him for everything he has helped me with, and I definitely recommend his program to any athlete that wants to improve their body and mind.
Thank you Eric.

The nutritional changes I have made through this program have been lifestyle changes to keep with me forever. Eric keeps you accountable and connected to his programming through sending in meal pictures. An effective way to stay disciplined as you begin the program. Every time I eat a meal now, I need a carb, protein, and greens on my plate. All in balance as Eric always recommended. The food we eat is the fuel that propels us or drains us, and I have come to understand the importance of proper nutrition for effective training and recovery.
My mindset has strengthened and developed as I have worked with Eric. I have pushed myself throughout and it has leaked into other areas of my life too. My mindfulness has only improved as that was something I already practiced beforehand, and I continued to embody throughout. I have developed into a well-rounded manner. Eric himself is a beacon of discipline, commitment to excellence, and an influential coach. He provides great insight and applicable knowledge that begins the transformation to developing your mindset, trusting oneself, and our own body more.
I started with my body feeling weak and unbalanced, and overweight. As I am concluding the coaching, I feel accomplished, grounded, and healthy.
Eric always stressed proper routines to propel one’s life. I improved my lifestyle around nutrition, sleep, mindset, and trainings. From following the pre workout activations, to setting the parameters to my nutrition, improving my poor sleep habits and more. These are all parts to the whole program Eric provides, each step and action, leading to your fulfilled goals as an athlete or someone who want’s to be the best they can be.
Erics communication was great, including social media check ins, and the monthly emails were efficient and clear. The goals to get better each day lead the way. Overall, I went from 260lbs to 185lbs with my initial weight loss phase, and now I am 205 lbs and I’ve been building upon my personal desire to increase my strength and mass.
Thank you to Eric for your great coaching. I am happy I can take things with me and build upon them for the future. Eric your next clients will be lucky to be working with you. God Bless and stay RicFit
If you are still thinking about joining Eric’s coaching program, I want to end off with I highly recommend this program if you want to get better and transform your overall lifestyle. Eric’s attention to detail and intentional guidance takes it all step by step, and as time goes on the effects on your lifestyle and performance will be evident. You will be proud of yourself and grateful for investing in yourself.

Looking back now I am very happy that I chose to apply and work with Eric because the results that I have achieved have been fantastic. I have lost 12 kg but have only gotten stronger in the gym and I am feeling faster and more explosive on the pitch. My knee is feeling great and I can play football without any pain or problems. I am in the best shape I have ever been and that is all thanks to Eric and his programme.
I really felt that all of the workouts were planned with a lot of attention to detail and what would work best for me and the goals I had. My workouts were tailored with my knee in mind and the exercises that Eric programmed for me really helped me restore the function and ability of my knee. The workouts were really tough but also very enjoyable and I never felt that the workouts were boring or too long. I don’t think any of the workouts lasted more than an hour which was great.
I have also learned a lot about nutrition, recovery, sleep and everything else that is necessary to feel good and perform well. It was great to learn about these subjects and understand how everything works instead of just following a blueprint. This is knowledge that will be very useful for me in the future.
It has also been great to be able to talk to Eric at any time if I have had any questions or concerns about my training or my body in general. This really separates Eric from other trainers that I have worked with.
Overall I am so happy that I chose to work with Eric and I highly recommend anyone to apply to his programme if you want the best help available to reach your goals.

I’ve gained far more than what I expected in terms of reaching my goals within the program. My speed and strength have increased massively while also gaining more flexibility and mobility than I thought was achievable for myself!
The program itself was extremely detailed and straight-forward which suited me very well! Ric’s direct and thorough approach was fantastic!
Another thing this program has changed is my mentality. I’ve found myself forming healthy habits that are now staples in my everyday such as daily stretching, nutrition balance and overall discipline!
On the subject of nutrition, I’ve become balanced but a much healthier eater than I was before this program! I learnt a lot about food intake and what is essential to the professional footballers diet while still eating the foods that I love!
Football-wise, I’ve improved in individual aspects of the game really
well, such as: dribbling, passing, and first touch. I became a starter for my 5-a-side team and more recently for a small 11-a-side club!
My first time passing has improved specifically and my dribbling and ball control became much more coordinated and fluid!
Eric was an amazing coach!! Straightforward and a no nonsense guy! I was kept motivated with a weekly check-in, and weekly videos!
Also to be able to reach out via messages or a planned call was a unique aspect to this program!
Eric is a fantastic coach and I sincerely hope to work with him again in the future!

I am very appreciative of Eric’s help over the 6 months that I worked with him. He created a specialized plan for improving my strength, speed, and fitness on the pitch while gaining lean muscle.
As a player on the skinnier side, I came to Eric looking to increase my strength and muscle mass to prepare myself for the demands of playing at a higher youth level and eventually college soccer.
He addressed any concerns that I had about the program and checked in on me weekly to help keep me on track to reach my goals. I also had some issues with my mobility before starting the program, especially in the hips and ankles.
After working with Eric, these issues have improved drastically. Aside from the physical changes I have experienced from working with Eric, I have also gained a mental edge over others my age. The discipline that I have built from working with Eric will help me for the rest of my life, and the attitude to “do things even when you don’t feel like it” has made me stronger in all aspects of life.
My technical ability has improved through the use of the RicFit Academy App, which has thousands of exercises all in one place. This allowed me to plan my own individual training sessions outside of team training and get extra touches in.
Nutritionally, I have been intaking more protein and gaining healthy weight which has benefited me greatly on the pitch. I feel the fastest and most explosive that I have felt in my career. My numbers in the gym have more than doubled from where I first started. All of this can be attributed to the excellent coaching I have received from Eric. I highly recommend his program to anyone looking to invest in their football career and take their game to the next level!
