It has been my great pleasure to be trained by and come to know Emeka Akoh. He has an exceptional work ethic and knows what it takes to motivate a person. He has a way of taking individuals and melding them into a team. The passion and enthusiasm he has for physical fitness is extraordinary. He shows up for work every day as if it were the most important day of his career. I have never met someone with the working knowledge of both anatomy and fitness who can translate it with such practical application as he does. His passion sets him apart from others in the fitness industry. He lives and breathes the healthy lifestyle. Emeka assists with diets, meal plans, and personal fitness plans to ensure both individual and team goals are met. The most enduring thing about Emeka is his character. He is a good person who genuinely cares about others. I am honored to know him, and joyfully would recommend him to anyone.
When I first started working out with the sports company EXOS and Emeka at the Boathouse as part of the OKC Respond program, I was about 200 pounds. Emeka’s workouts, diet recommendations, and motivation helped me lose 20 pounds, 4% body fat, gain muscle, improved cardio and greatly improved my flexibility and balance. I’m almost addicted to it now and am very dedicated to showing up every morning at 6:00 am for not only the workout but the comradery with my fellow first responders who want to get healthy. Also, because of this program I have become involved with rowing and improving my overall health with this sport.
Emeka is one of the very best in his profession, while maintaining a humble persona. He is a knowledgeable and experienced trainer, who is dedicated and passionate about what he does. He is not only great at creating buy in and cohesion while training in a group setting, but also at leading people to train at their peak performance as individuals. Emeka cares about your specific goals and will do everything in his power to help you meet them. Emeka personally helped me achieve my ideal physical physique, in preparation for my wedding. Most of the classes I attended were in a group setting, but Emeka often stayed late after class to help me achieve my goals. He did this by giving me a personalized exercise program with strategic advice. Most importantly, Emeka is a kind man with great character and integrity.
After college ball and now being in the world of outside sales I still have the competitive drive in me. Not in a group setting but individually. Emeka’s programing allowed me to compete with myself to see improvement both mentally and physically. The cycles of life have taken me through strength and mass, flexibility, aesthetics, and endurance training. No matter your goal Emeka has the ability to help you reach your desired goals.
Emeka worked with our men’s and women’s tennis teams during his graduate program at Georgia College. His passion to make athletes better every day was infectious and easily visible in our sports performance program. Our players could not wait to get to the weight room every day that Emeka worked with them. The results clearly showed in our ability to compete with the best teams in the country every day!!!
Emeka Akoh is a world class trainer. I was able to be trained by him for two years and his ability to mix high intensity workouts with functional training for professionals in the fire service was incredibly successful in getting me ready to do my job. I have never been in better shape and felt better prepared for the work I do on a daily basis. I would recommend Emeka to every professional firefighter, police officer, or military service person (active or retired) because he knows what he is doing and can get the job done!”
