Ian is such an amazing trainer! He shares in my excitement when the pounds come off each week and motivates me during moments when I’m not making as much progress as I’d like. Since seeing Ian, I’ve lost pounds and gained muscle and my journey is still continuing! I highly recommend him!

Working out with Ian has been great. I especially appreciate how he was able to work rehabilitation into my fitness plan. As a trainer, he certainly pushed me, but was also cognizant of my lower back issues. When we needed to pull back he recognized it (often before I did) and we modified. Outside of the training, he also helped me with understanding how nutrition — or my lack thereof — impacted my fitness goals.

Ian, trainer and owner of Butler Elite Training, is just an all-around GREAT person!! He knows what he is doing, VERY encouraging and has a well equipped workout Gym. I participated at a few places with gym gear, but really knew nothing about personal fitness and this man is so patient, with easily understood instructions and knowledge that is so willingly shared!!Whether you are looking to lose weigh, gain muscle or just get into a regular routine for exercise, I highly recommend that you put your trust in Ian and in return receive great returns on your investment of that trust; this is on so many levels, feeling good, looking good , eating healthy and in general, walking with an air of confidence that comes from feeling great about yourself again!!! THANKS IAN!!

Ian is an amazing personal trainer. He pushes you beyond your limits both mentally and physically while encouraging you to believe in yourself. My body has completely transformed over the past year as a Butler Elite Training Company customer. I get compliments all the time and my kids even tell me how strong and proud they are of their mom. I highly recommend using Ian to reach your personal fitness and health goals.

I highly recommend working with Ian if you are ready to go to the next level of your fitness journey! I came to Ian having been strength training consistently 3 days a weeks for 19 months, but I was stuck and had not made any new progress for 5 months. I shared with Ian my goals and, boy, I have seen so much more muscle definition, especially in my arms! It's incredible, and I'm so pleased!! I knew quite a bit about strength training coming in, but in the 2 cycles I had him as my trainer I learned so much more! Ian is very knowledgeable and helped me tweak various exercises to get the absolute most out of them. He's kind, encouraging, pushes you (in a good way), and will even play your favorite music at his gym, even if it's not what he prefers (loved that!). I'm so glad God allowed our paths to cross and I was able to learn from Ian. Highly, highly, highly recommend!!!

Ian Butler with Butler Elite Training is one of the most intuitive fitness coaches I have found. He is very thoughtful with the training he curates for each of his clients. His gym is comprehensive and a great environment to inspire awesome workouts. He offers one-on-one training and group classes. As someone who has done both they are both an excellent workout and fun at the same time. Ian is excellent at what he does. He has a holistic approach focusing on mindset, fitness, and nutrition. Ian himself is a very positive person who cares about the wellbeing of each of this clients. I highly recommend Ian if you are looking for someone to push you to be better all the way around. A solid 5 stars from me.

Butler Elite is great company. Ian is a great instructor that really pushes you to do more than you think you can using positivity and encouragement. Even though i take the group classes, the workouts are tailored to your abilities and limitations. I highly recommend Butler Elite! The classes are fun and a comfortable environment!

By far the best personal training company in Raleigh. They will customize your plan specific to you and your needs!

I’ve been training with Ian for 10+ years. When I met him I was 60 lbs overweight and had very little muscle. My body fat and BMI were off the charts (bad). Now I’m less than 20% body fat and in the best shape of my life. Thank you Ian!!

2023-12-31T23:05:12.000Z

Ian has been a godsend for me to focus and achieve my fitness goals. not only is he knowledgeable, he truly loves what he does and cares about his clients. I highly recommend!

I’m 46 years old and an avid tennis player. I came to Ian a year and a half ago with the goal of being able to play tennis for a long time without getting injured. Ian has customized a training program for me that strengthens the right muscles for tennis. While I’ve seen improvement in these areas, I’ve also seen the residual effects on the rest of my body. In my 40s results haven’t come overnight like they did in my 20s and 30s, I’ve had challenges along the way and Ian has been there every step reminding of my goals, keeping me focused and planning our next move. I enjoy not having to “think” about my workouts for the week. He’s already done all the work, all I have to do is show up, complain (😉) and get on with my day. In a year and a half we’ve only missed sessions due to sickness and travel, working out isn’t a chore when you put your trust in the right trainer.

The best part of Butler Elite Training is how everything is customized to your individual needs, and fitness level. I personally have some issues with my left hip, so everything is designed for me with that in mind. Ian is kind, knowledgeable, and will be your biggest supporter while you navigate your fitness journey! I’ve been using Butler Elite Training since September and so proud of my progress so far!

I love the challenges! They have kept me on track while I stay home from the gym. I am terrible at making up my own work out so the challenges give me a goal to work toward. Thanks!
