Based in Austin with a loyal following across the U.S., he shares his daily workouts and client wins on social media to keep the motivation flowing. With Ed, training feels less like a chore and more like a scene from your favorite movie — fun, high-energy, and something you’ll actually look forward to. He’s approachable, down-to-earth, and 100% committed to helping you crush your goals.
"Back in high school, I was the funny guy—the one who used humor to deflect attention from my weight. At nearly 300 pounds, I felt trapped in a body that didn't reflect who I truly was. Reconnecting with Ed, my old friend turned IFBB Pro, was the turning point I desperately needed. He didn't just hand me a workout plan; he offered unwavering support, understanding, and a tailored approach that combined effective nutrition with exercise routines I could stick to.
With Ed's guidance, I shed over 100 pounds, reaching a lean 190. But the transformation wasn't just physical. I gained confidence, energy, and a newfound appreciation for life. Now, I don't rely solely on humor to connect with others—I let my authentic self shine through. Ed didn't just help me lose weight; he helped me rediscover myself."
— Mike M., 45, Austin, TX
"I have a few records for lifting from freshman year till now. “Special Ed” teaches form and how to improve the little things; he is also really fun to work out with, as he shares lots of jokes while being serious at the same time. I have added almost 75 to 100 pounds to my squat and 70 pounds to my deadlift. My bench is a slow but steady progress, and it is going up."
— Emma T.
"I went to Ed after retiring from the sport of Strongman. I achieved being one of the top 5 strongest Americans, holding records and titles in various fields and federations. But I wasn’t the leanest or healthiest I could be.
I went from weighing 270 at about 25% body fat to a stage weight of 205 at about 5-6% body fat. After competing on stage, I was able to maintain my strength from when I was bigger, but with the added benefits of being leaner, faster, and able to enjoy more active activities. The education I gained from the sessions has helped me maintain a healthy lifestyle ever since."
-John E.
"I had an amateur-level background in strongman and powerlifting, and I wanted to compete in bodybuilding instead. I went through a few trainers, but none seemed to care or knew how to get me to where I needed to be. Then I found Ed. I was definitely “skinny fat” with a good strength foundation, but never did I believe I could be on stage only a few months later.
In 16 weeks (and full dedication), I placed 1st in novice, open, and 2nd in masters Figure. Then, the following weekend, I placed 2nd in the open division and 1st in the Masters division. I was Nationals qualified in my first show, which is insane.
Ed will train you exactly how you need to get where you need to be, without sugarcoating it. If you’re willing to put in the work, I recommend Ed to help you achieve your goals."
— Kim E.
"Ed helped me achieve many personal goals over a short period. Together, he helped me reach state and American records in USPA powerlifting. He’s patient and very focused as well as goal-oriented. I gained a good coach and a great friend."
— Mike P.
"Approaching retirement, my wife and I decided to focus on our health and fitness together. We joined Ed's Competition Cut program, and it's been transformative. Not only are we on track to achieve our fitness goals, but we've also strengthened our bond as a couple. Ed's expertise and support made all the difference. "
— Mike and Letty S.
"Train with Ed lost 75 pounds, and I’m healthier than I’ve ever been. My A1c was at 10.9 a nine months ago and now it’s down to 5. My blood pressure is down to Normal levels. I no longer need diabetes medicine or blood pressure medicine."
— Prakash
"I recently had my second natural bodybuilding competition while training with Ed. I placed 1st in the teen division, and I have to give a lot of credit to Ed for getting me in shape to do so well. He has been extremely flexible with me when it comes to scheduling and will always show up on time, pushing me to my limits. Thank you, Ed!'
— Riverson S.
I enjoyed working with Ed; he’s not only knowledgeable but professional and genuinely motivating and supportive. I asked Ed if he could prep me for a natural competition, and he said he could train anybody for anything. Every session, he pushed me toward the goal, and I ended up placing 2nd in my first competition. I'm now looking forward to training for the next one.
— Harold C.
"I have been training with Ed for over 13 years and have done some amazing work. He worked on my diet to help me gain muscle and lose weight. At the age of 65, I participated in a full-power lifting competition and won my category. Currently, Ed is rehabilitating my left knee following a total knee replacement, and in approximately three months, we will begin rehabilitating the right knee.
I can’t say enough good things about Ed. He helped me with my shoulders from my boxing days. He always gives me feedback and asks me how I’m doing when we are working out. He cares about his clients."
— Steve C.
