MEET THE TEAM!

Felix

Meet Eleazar Felix.

He goes by Felix here at Elite.

Felix is a graduate from California State University, Fullerton with a degree in Kinesiology (Emphasis in Strength and Conditioning), Felix seeks to further his knowledge and expertise in the field.

Felix’s preferred style of training varies between body weight exercises and weight resistance, but he leans more toward weight resistance exercises such as the dumbbell bench press, and the more traditional lifts including squats. Hobbies he enjoys outside of the gym include: playing soccer, watching movies, and spending quality time with his friends and family.

“I have been a part of the Elite Fitness Downtown family since 2014 and I am proud to have seen this place develop and hope to continue to see it grow in the future.” Felix

Meet Andrew Longmore.

I’m Andrew — a lifelong wrestler, passionate coach, and all-around fitness fanatic. From the mat to the gym, I thrive in high-energy, high-effort environments where grit meets growth. But my favorite title? Dad. I bring that same heart to our training space, where every client’s victory — big or small — gets celebrated like a championship win. Around here, effort is everything, and I’m all about lifting people up while we level up together!

I have been working at Elite Fitness Downtown for 2 months now, and I can definitely say it is an amazing place. Every team member at Elite genuinely cares for each and every person who steps foot in there. They are able to connect on a personal level with each person there, which makes them extremely valuable to the Santa Ana community. I would highly recommend visiting, as their knowledge of fitness and wellness are at a very professional level, and know how to personalize routines to each client.

Elite Downtown is a wonderful experience. Joaquin, Felix and Gus are all three both knowledgeable, experienced trainers and great guys. They treat each client in a compassionate and helpful way, taking into account the individual’s needs. The first time I worked out there everything felt very low-stress, and yet I left feeling that every part of my body had been worked. The stress of a large gym is absent here, as clients become friends, enjoy working together, and, no matter how challenging the workout there is always a very relaxed and friendly vibe. - Yvonne McGrath

Elite Fitness is an amazing place. Not only are Joaquin and the trainers very knowledgeable but every workout is fun and motivating. It is a warm and welcoming environment. They listen and want to help you succeed. I have been working out there for about 4 months and feel so much stronger and healthier. Highly recommend - if you want to get in shape, invest in your health and have fun and a new family of friends then join Elite Fitness !

Elite! That’s exactly what this gym is. I moved into the neighborhood and was looking for a gym to start my fitness journey. Joaquin and his staff were very welcoming. The gym is super clean and the training is addicting. Sounds weird but it’s true. The best thing about this gym is they actually care about your journey. It’s like a small family that helps hold you accountable. That’s what I needed. Thanks Elite Fam! Shout out to Joaquin and Felix!

The best decision I made when I retired was to join Elite Fitness. I retired as a union meat cutter, I worked for 40 years but the reason I retired was that I am a stage four cancer survivor. The treatments saved my life but left me disabled. Working out at Elite has helped me with walking, with my flexibility and I've become stronger through weight training. All this under the watchful eye of owner Joaquin Martinez and the trainers at Elite. Because of all the chemotherapy I had I have neuorapathy in both feet and I have a tendency to trip and fall. But at Elite I practice getting up off the floor and it has really come in handy. If you're older like me or younger and just want to get fit I recommend Elite Fitness.
