Desolation Athletic Fitness 3668 Lake Tahoe Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150

"I have been training at DAF for a little over a year now, and can confidently say that thanks to Coach Elliott I am the strongest I’ve ever been. I have done strength training on and off throughout my life, but could never stay consistent until joining DAF. Elliott is so good at programming in a way that breeds consistency and longevity. He adapts the workout to meet everyone’s needs and fitness levels while still pushing you to improve and train at the top of your ability. Each class is the perfect amount of challenge where you work hard and can tell you are getting stronger/fitter, but you are not so sore that you can’t function the next day. Since training at DAF I have completed my first half marathon and triathlon, and done so completely injury free thanks to the strength and habits I built at DAF! I am so grateful to everyone at DAF including all the coaches and the whole community of members. I know that every time I walk in those doors I’m going to get a great workout and also have fun! I could not recommend this place more!"

"DAF is the best! Elliott creates a fun community vibe while providing thoughtful workouts that get results! The focus is on safely buliding strength through traditional lifts and functional movement. I show up half asleep in the morning and leave amped up and ready for the day! 10/10 recommend!"

"If you are looking for group workout classes with a very experienced and knowledgeable trainer… DAF is where you need to be! I appreciate that the classes are programmed in such a way as to be able to easily see your progress in getting stronger. And I appreciate that Elliott is very knowledgeable in modifying movements if you are dealing with any injuries so you can continue to workout safely. Really, I could go on and in about how much I like working out at DAF!"

"DAF is the best! Coach Elliot programs great workouts that are challenging and fun. It is a wonderful supportive community. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone."

"I cannot recommend DAF enough!! Personally I love the energy that the classes have its always a good time and I always leave in a great mood. Coach Elliott is very encouraging, knowledgeable, and informative. He curates a program that is tough and pushes you, but he also tweaks it should you need it to be more or less challenging. I am 9 months postpartum and a bigger woman, and the class is so inclusive and supportive. I couldn't imagine training anywhere else. The gym its self is clean, organized and has everything you might want to try!! I absolutely LOVE my DAF family and look forward to each class. Best gym in South Lake hands down!!"
