The testimonials below are supplied by the named individuals. They describe reduced injury recurrence, improved daily physical condition and the value of a consistent ELDOA practice.
“Ben has been my personal trainer for over 20 years. He has keen intuition and an encyclopedic knowledge of the human body. He is an absolute savant at working remotely, a skill that very few trainers have been able to develop. At 82 years of age, I feel 20 years younger than that, in no small part due to Ben.”
“Ben Velazquez is one of the leading corrective exercise professionals in the world. It has been a pleasure to work with him for more than 15 years. I have witnessed his unique approach benefit a ‘who’s who’ of professional athletes across all sports, military personnel through our Operation Brain Health program, business leaders, young, developing athletes, and anyone recovering from injury or seeking to improve their performance. I recommend Ben in the strongest of terms.”
“Thanks to working with Ben, I’ve felt at my best physically over these last two years. Feeling what needs to get fixed and how to fix it quickly is something I’ve come to learn in that time. Getting the body into the proper form to perform at the level I want is tough for many athletes — and working with Ben has made it easier for me to do that.”
“The details in his programming take you from good to great. One of the best tools in my toolbox.”
“The best my body has ever felt. The daily ELDOA practice changed everything.”
“Working with Ben has been a game changer for me.”
“He’s helped me recover from serious injuries — and prevent the next ones.”

Frequently asked questions
Which professional athletes has Ben Velazquez worked with?
Athletes across the NFL, NHL and MLB, including Christian McCaffrey, Derek Carr, Connor McDavid, Max Domi and Jesús Luzardo. He also appeared in the FOX Sports documentary Being: Mariano with Mariano Rivera.
Are these testimonials verified?
Yes — every testimonial on this site is attributed to a named individual who supplied it. No aggregate ratings or anonymous reviews are used anywhere on the site.
Do results with professional athletes transfer to non-athletes?
The method transfers; the programming does not. The assessment-first order of operations is identical, but the volume, intensity and exercise selection for an executive look nothing like those for a professional athlete in-season.
Can I speak to a current client?
Where a client has agreed to it, introductions can sometimes be arranged after an intro call. Client confidentiality means this is never assumed.
