Testimonials:
- “Eli is top Notch!! Best instructor I’ve had thus far with doing my BLS CPR training. Very welcoming atmosphere. See you in 2 years!!” – LaKeisha G. 5/26/2026
- “Thank you again for a productive and very educational class today! I’ve done a LOT of BLS classes over the course of my 17 year career, and yours was by far the easiest to follow and retain information. I appreciate your style and vast knowledge. We are fortunate to learn from such a veteran of the field “. – Beth McCay RN, BSN Director of Health & Wellness Grand Living at the Grove 11/19/2025
- ” I can’t speak highly enough of Fired Up Solutions and Eli Santiago. I’d give him 100 stars if I could. I’m currently an EMT student with plans to become a firefighter. As a firefighter himself, he shared some insight as well as his passion for the profession. I undoubtedly left with the course with a firm understanding of CPR and BLS and I feel confident in what I learned. The course itself was as much an experience as it was an opportunity to learn life saving skills. And at the risk of sounding cheesy, I also left “FIRED UP!”. – Tyler T. EMTS ACADEMY 1/21/2025
- ” From the first 5 minutes I knew this was the best BLS CPR class I would ever take! I’ve taken many classes over the years in many different states. He was by far the best! It was full of real-life knowledge from his experiences as a former Austin firefighter and EMT, along with everything you needed to know to be successful. He has a great personality, He’s hilarious, educated and overqualified. I’ll definitely be taking his class again and you should too! ” – M. Love, Austin, Tx. 4/20/2022

Testimonials:
- Eli came out to our house in Taylor to give us CPR class. I paid WAY more for a class years ago in San Antonio but got a lot more useful info from Eli. The more classes the better, eh? I wanted my husband to learn CPR as well so this was great, him coming out to our house. He’s from NYC and sounds like it, entertaining and informative. Well worth the money and then some. – Linda & Michael , Taylor, Tx. 8/27/2026
- ” We had Eli come to our home for a 2-hour CPR and choking course and it was absolutely worth every minute. He didn’t just walk us through the basics; he gave us real, practical tips you’d actually use in an emergency and made us practice until it truly clicked. What stood out most was how engaging Eli made the whole experience. It never felt like a boring class, he kept it fun. If you’re a parent, caregiver, or just someone who wants to be prepared to save a life, I can’t recommend Eli enough. This is one of the most valuable things you can do for your family” Kate & Ben 3/9/2025
- We truly had a 5 out of 5 stars experience with Fire Up solutions. Our whole family (mom, dad, 14 yrs old daughter and 10 yrs old son) took the “Friends and Family” CPR class developed by the American Heart Association for those wanting to learn CPR for personal enrichment rather than for a required certification. It was a fantastic family experience! Louis 4/10/2021
