YOUR STARTING POINT MATTERS
A plan for you.
Not an age group.
28 years. Still going strong.
Joe Ortlieb is 66 and has been training with Elite Fitness for 28 years. The photo above shows him training with Fabian—one familiar face in a team that continues to support his routine.
You may want to carry groceries more comfortably, feel confident using weights, keep up with family, or get back to a routine you enjoyed. Those are useful places to start a conversation.
Two people of the same age can have very different abilities and experience. At Elite Fitness, we consider the person in front of us: what you want to do, what feels manageable now, and how your training can progress.
Our clients include adults in their 60s, 70s, and 80s. Over the past year, Elie Merhi has welcomed more senior clients than ever before. This is personal training grounded in his 35+ years of experience, with room for questions, instruction, and adjustments.
STRENGTH THAT HAS A PURPOSE
What would you like
to feel more capable doing?
Bring your real-life goals.
Getting out of a chair, carrying a suitcase, or feeling steadier on your feet can help guide the conversation. Tell us which movements and activities matter to you.
Have someone beside you.
Your trainer explains the setup, watches your technique, and adjusts the session as needed. You can ask questions without feeling you should already know the answer.
Strength, aerobic activity, and balance all have a place in an older adult’s activity routine. Read the CDC’s guidance for adults 65 and older ↗
THE MERHI METHOD
One team.
Your individual plan.
You are supported by a rotating team of trainers who follow the Merhi Method. Different coaching cues and perspectives bring variety while the focus stays on your goals and current ability.
You do not have to organize your week around one trainer’s calendar. Tell us your preferred appointment windows, and the team will confirm a time and assign your trainer. That helps make a consistent routine more practical.

A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING
Let’s answer
your questions.
Do I need to be fit before I start?
No. Whether you are new to exercise, returning after a long break, or already active, we start with your current ability and goals. You do not need to keep up with another client’s workout.
Is this only for seniors?
No. This page is for adults over 50, including seniors, who want personal guidance with their training. Your age does not determine your workout; your experience, ability, goals, and recovery help shape it.
What if an exercise is uncomfortable or I have a health concern?
Tell us what you are experiencing and share any relevant guidance from your healthcare professional. We can discuss exercise choices and modifications within personal training. Rehabilitation, diagnosis, and treatment belong with your healthcare team.
Will I work with the same trainer every time?
Clients rotate among our trainers, all following the Merhi Method. Your trainer is assigned by the team. You choose an appointment window that works for you, and we confirm availability. Different coaching perspectives are part of one shared approach.
How long are the sessions, and what do they cost?
Studio VIP sessions are 30, 45, or 60 minutes. Individual rates range from $85 to $150 per session depending on session length and package size. The $85 rate is for the 36-session, 30-minute package. Our training page lists all current packages.
Where can I train?
Visit our East Boca studio at 141 NW 20th Street or West Boca studio at 9183 Glades Road, Office #1. Both operate by appointment, seven days a week. In-home training is also available; ask about your location, scheduling, and travel pricing.
