Client Testimonials
The Power Center has not only made me a better athlete, it has made me a better person. With John and Dan's positive and encouraging attitudes, I strive to improve myself every session. The Power center has taught me that my body is capable of so much more then your mind tells you, and that by conquering your mind, one can achieve anything. This belief not only helps me in athletics, but more importantly in life, because I notice a positive change in myself once I started going to the Power Center. I have less trouble focusing and I am constantly challenging myself to achieve more thanks to the Power Center
~ Matt Wassel- People are always asking me to describe the East Meets West class but its hard to do because it is unlike anything else that is offered in any gym I have ever
been to. I have worked out my whole life and worked in the fitness industry for 14 years so I was looking for a workout that would challenge me.
Someone recommended the Power Center and its been 4 1/2 years and I can honestly say every time I take the class it challenges and pushes me and keeps me coming back. What is also amazing about the classes is that while they take the experienced exerciser to the next level they are also non-intimidating to the beginner.
The trainers are so motivational, knowledgeable and encouraging that they are able to inspire the clients to do more than they ever thought they could and keep them from becoming discouraged. Whether you are an athlete or a exercise novice, a cardio queen or a muscle head the East Meets West Class at The Power Center will change your level of fitness and change what you thought a real workout was.
~ Tara McGovern - Just to let you know, there has been an unexpected benefit to my training with you. Normally in golf, particularly at my age, the more muscle-bound you are the less distance you get (or else you're way off line). By virtue of the core training that you've been giving me, I find that I am more flexible, able to turn better in my golf swing, and the result over the last two years, without changing any of my equipment, has been an addition of about 5-10 yards on all of my shots (10 yards with the drives, 5 with the irons). In addition, I find that I am able to get out of the rough a little easier, due to my added upper body strength and flexibility.

One of the first lessons I learned after meeting my “main-mentor” out in San Jose, California was to get my bare feet onto the earth. During our initial visit I was standing next to him with my hands in my pockets. Once he noticed he forcefully insisted that I take my hands out of my pockets and went on to say with his Vietnamese accent in broken English that ” Never put your hands in your pocket - even when you cold - big problem in your country - people alway disconnect from earth - alway wearing shoe - walking on cement or wood or carpet - very important to take in energy from earth and sky - put hand to sky it work as antenna to take energy from cosmos - your feet on the earth is like root - root of tree and it take in energy from earth.”
My curious nature usually leads me to doing some investigating whenever something interesting, profound, or hard to believe is proclaimed. In this case there happens to be some very insightful information that explains in greater detail my teachers theory. I actually found that there are many benefits of getting our bare feet onto the earth. I read that science has determined that the earth itself is negatively charged while the atmosphere is positive. When we disconnect by wearing shoes all the time the body can become unbalanced with more of a positive charge. When this happens the body can become oxidized leading to the growth of free radicals which can do damage to the body on many levels. The body can start to become more and more inflamed resulting in a variety of potential health problems. So get out there and get those feet onto the earth - walk the beach - the backyard - the park - wherever it is kick those shoes off and connect to that vital energy Mother Earth is offering.
Allow me to make a small recommendation - you should never take my word on anything I say (although I do believe and practice what I preach) - I think it’s important for people to find out things for themselves - so go out there and do your own research and see for yourself whether or not what I say has any validity and/or support.
