I started seriously working with Eric when I was about 22 years old. He has helped me with so many things on and off the pitch. The most important things he has taught me have been what to do in the gym as a footballer. I used to train in the gym like a bodybuilder, but after meeting him he has helped me train in the gym like a true footballer. He has shown me many football specific movements and movements to help me prevent injuries and heal from injuries quicker. He has also helped me a lot with my diet and how to eat for performance. He has been key in my development as a footballer and helping me to get to the 1st league from the 3rd league. He has now become my best friend and we continue to talk daily. I highly recommend any footballer looking to play at a top professional level to work with Eric. Thank you!

I am a 25-year-old football goalkeeper from Sweden. My long-time dream has always been to become a professional football player, and I’ve been working on that goal for many years but felt a bit lost in how to do so, what to eat, and how to recover in the best way possible. I wanted to leave no stone unturned and feel like I have given football my best shot, no matter what the outcomes were.

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.

I am a 25-year-old soccer goalkeeper and started working with Eric this year. As a goalkeeper, I am very particular about the details, especially when it comes to improving in soccer and in life. I wanted to get stronger, leaner, and become a more powerful and explosive goalkeeper. I also chose to work with Eric because of his background as a footballer who understands the demands of traveling the world while maintaining peak performance. My travels between Europe and the US have been mentally challenging, but Eric, with his personal experience, has been fully adaptable based on the resources I had available.

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’m a footballer and started to work with Ric in October 2020. When I started to work with him, I had just finished my season and was not so pleased with my performances.

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!

I’m 23 years old and I started working with Eric about six months ago. I came to him wanting to get stronger and develop my speed, and I can definitely say I achieved that and much more. I became really comfortable with the ball while feeling quicker at the same time, even with my non-dominant foot. I became leaner, and the list just goes on and on.

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 am a 21-year-old guy who was looking to improve his overall lifestyle through fitness and diet. I had put on a lot of weight and was living a very sedentary life, which I knew I needed help to change. I found Rick browsing through Instagram, and after a few months of getting a feel for what he had to offer through his content, I made a 1-on-1 coaching application.

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.

Working with Eric for almost 2 years has been a great journey. His attention to detail, guidance, and expertise has led me to a stronger, healthier, and more fulfilled life. The changes on the performance side have made me more connected to my body, more powerful, and more balanced. As I am someone who has had two past ACL and Meniscus surgeries, I wanted to work with someone who would help me build my body back to balance and strength. I can say that mission has been accomplished and I have a solid foundation moving forward. The program is energizing and fulfilling, and as you gain mobility and strength you will want to continue to improve.

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.

It’s crazy to have participated in this program for the last six months and to have had the opportunity to experience all the changes and knowledge that were made possible by Ric!! I came into this program looking to gain speed, power, strength and knowledge to expand my football game and I was not disappointed!

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 an eighteen year old soccer player who primarily plays in the center midfield. Though sometimes I play on the wing. I started working with Eric 6 months ago with aspirations to get leaner, faster, and stronger, which is exactly what I got when I committed myself to following his advice.

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.

I am a 23-year-old center back. As a footballer, I hold myself to very high standards especially when it comes to how I want to always be improving my game on the field.

I wanted to improve my strength, stamina, become leaner, and become more powerful on the pitch.

I knew Eric was the right guy to help achieve my goals because I had been following Eric on social media for about two years prior to working with him.

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.

Ric helped me gain strength, power and speed which really helped me perform in matches. He also taught me what’s good to eat, when to eat before a match and about how important it is to have a schedule. He helped me create a Routine so I could sleep at the same time everyday. He has also helped me become a more productive person, as my energy has been so much better, allowing me to get my things done. I feel and move better thanks to his mobility work, especially on the field. His ball work helped me feel comfortable with the ball, as I’m never nervous now before matches because my touch has developed.

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.

Those ab exercises have changed the core drastically, and the way I look at core exercises. I always used to do crunches and other stuff to just make the abs look good, but after following your tips and the functional core exercises, my core has never felt or looked better. I have increased my overall power output as well. Looking after the nutrition plan has been so helpful.

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 am a 21 year old footballer, and I have worked with Eric since the start of 2022. Before working with Eric, I was doing plenty of individual training, but at times I felt lost. I wanted to take my game to the next level, and really push myself to improve, so I put my trust in Eric. This was one of the best decisions I have made.

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.

I was introduced to Eric when I was in between contracts and on my way to play professionally in Israel.

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!

Hello Eric, I just wanted to start off by thanking you for these amazing past 6 months. I don’t know where to start, nor what to say. Man… I have seen change in every aspect of my life (yes life and not just football). Physically I was very weak and slow.

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,
Saleh Mahmoud

Im a 21-year-old goalkeeper and started working with Eric this January. I have spent 6+ months with him and learnt a lot about fitness and nutrition. I came in looking to lose body fat and to get stronger and more explosive. During my time with Eric, we had to make loads of adjustments due to the Covid situation which affected the availability of gyms and some home workout equipment. I also picked up a few injuries during this time but Eric tailored my workouts to help me recover quicker.

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 think the program was great. He catered the program to what I wanted which was a challenging program for overall fitness and soccer ability. I’ve definitely gotten better as an athlete over these past 6 months and that’s not something you usually hear due to the numerous inconveniences of the pandemic.

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.

Im 20 years old & I’m from The triple D, and have played soccer since I was 6 years old I most recently played for Solar Chelsea U18 DA and went on to play at the collegiate level for a month before withdrawing leaving with 8k in unfortunate debt. I went on to find my own means of making ends meet getting involved in marketing, with no degree I was able to maintain myself & fund my journey in becoming a professional footballer.

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 can honestly say hand on heart your expertise has been world class. The level of education you have provided has been life changing for me mentally and physically.

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. I was shocked how much you go out your way for clients and really connect on a personal level. The value you provide for your clients is second to none and I don’t believe anyone else would be the same.

I am a 27 year old soccer forward/wing for the US Amputee Soccer Team. I started working with Eric in September 2020, and together we completely transformed my body and mind. I am very particular about the details, and my approach especially when it comes to improving in soccer and in life. I came to Ric as a newcomer to Israel from America, and was struggling to adjust to living in a new country. Through working with Ric, and my commitment to his program I was put in the position to earn the opportunity to play and train with the Israeli Amputee Soccer Team during my 5 months living in Tel Aviv, Israel.

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.

Hello, my name is Osmand Munoz, I am a 27-Year-old Right back Defender/ Center Defensive Midfielder. I started to work with Eric a couple months ago. The reason I came to Eric was from watching a story on Instagram from My friend Joshua Despina who follows Eric.

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.

I’m a 19-year-old midfielder and I have been working with Eric for 9 months now. The program included a full-body strength program, speed/explosive workouts, and technical football drills. In all these areas I have improved a lot.

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!

I am currently 33 years old and I started working with Eric about 2 years ago. I have played soccer all of my life and played competitively since I was 10 years old until playing D1 college. After a break from injuries and other things, I decided to start playing soccer and futsal again. I started to participate in tournaments in different countries and had been struggling with a lot of bad habits in my daily lifestyle and being incredibly out of shape.

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.

Initially starting the 1st phase of Ricfit I dropped 10 pounds in 1 month. I was eating 3 meals per day, and never felt hungry or craving sweets, like in the past. Being able to eat 3 meals and lose 10 pounds is due to Ricfit’s dynamic training. Phase one really targets your lower body as your legs, hamstring, and core are mainly activated. Slowly you start to see your upper body sculpting into an aesthetic frame.

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.

I am a 19 year old soccer student athlete in the US and I started working with Ric earlier this year to improve my soccer and my physique. I had always struggled with knowing what exercises to do and the gym and always struggled to stay consistent but with the guidance of my personalised RicFit programme, for the first time in my life I started seeing results from the gym.

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.

I am 25 years old and I started working with Eric about 6 months ago. I come to know about him through his instagram page and before joining him. I observed how Eric works and what he demands from his clients and after observing for a couple of months, I came to the conclusion that if there is someone who can show me the right path and bring me back to my game where I was used to, it had to be him.

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.

Of the 6+ months I’ve been with Eric and his fitness program, I’ve seen nothing but progress. Before, I began to slack on my workouts and had no real direction. My friend referred me to Eric’s program and said that it works wonders. Me being a rugby player and Eric being a footballer, I was curious as to whether this program would work for me since both sports revolve around two different body types.

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.

I’m a 22 year old football player and started to work with Eric at the beginning of this year. I had followed him for a whole year and listened to all his podcast episodes, so I knew that he was a great person and a quality coach.

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 am a 20 year old fullback. Due to personal reasons, I wasn’t able to play football much for the last 2 years, but before that played on one of the best teams in Utah. I started working with Ric because I wanted to get back to the level I was at my two year gap. I was always very picky with workout programs because I didn’t want any crappy “get fit fast” or “6 week ab” program.

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.

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. From the first stage though, the biggest thing I noticed was freedom of movement in my hips. I was able to go into a deep squat comfortably for one of the first times in my life. I think that was one of the keys to increasing a lot of my mobility and quickness. The focus on the core work and the control of my body that I felt from it was night and day. I would say it was almost a new body for me to play with. Although I never got to test myself in a competitive aspect against others I just felt and feel better in everyday life. My leg was more defined, I didn’t lose enough weight to see my abs but I have no doubt that if I start the program again they’ll appear.

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.
