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

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.

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.

Are you living with “JOY”

Monday, September 20th, 2010

Joy, the grandest state of being

“In an exuberant state of Joy, you are at peace with everything about you - when you are in joy with life, you cannot feel remorseful or insecure, fearful, angry, or lacking - in a state of Joy, you are fulfilled and complete, and life, wisdom, and creativity flow like a mighty river from within your being - you are inspired to the heights of greatness and the depths of feeling”-Anonymous

After reading this quote I thought Joy was a perfect word to elaborate on and to use as the word of the week - Peace, love, health and happiness are the four things I desire most out of life and I couldn’t

agree more with the author that penned these feelings on Joy - throughout our lives we are subjected to thousands of experiences that illicit a multitude of feelings and when Joy is the result from any given

experience there’s nothing better - if you think about it, during those moments when we are overtaken with joy we are completely free - free from life’s struggles, hardships, and pain - in those moment there

is no suffering - wouldn’t it make sense then to pursue those things in life that would result in joyful feelings - so whatever it is that makes you happy - whatever it is that puts that big smile on your face, butterflies in your belly, stars in your eyes or love in your heart, go after it - live it - love it - we all deserve to have more joy in our lives but it’s up to us to make it happen - so get busy - ENJOY!!!

Do you need to “Let It Go”?

Monday, September 13th, 2010

I got into a conversation over the weekend with a buddy of mine about kids that bully - we started reminiscing about our childhoods and the experiences that each of us had with bullying - this friend had an older brother that was the king of bullies - I happened to be on the receiving end of quite a bit of it myself but admittedly, I stand accused of being a first degree jackass - especially to my younger brother (I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again - Sorry E) - we started to discuss parenting or the lack of it and the role that plays in our choices during childhood - we both agreed that the dynamic of the household plays a huge role in how a kid will behave and what kind of character he or she will develop - The both of us were products of divorced parents whose fathers weren’t around much - when this happens potential trouble is very likely - unless the mother rules the house with an iron fist, which neither of ours did - toward the end of our talk my friend said something that led to my phrase of week; ‘LET IT GO’ - he believed his brother was so mean and abusive because of the anger and frustration he was carrying around with him from when his parents split - I can accept that and believe it to be true but it’s what he said next that I found to be an important lesson - he said his brother is still carrying around that same anger and frustration despite being 46 years old - the first thing that came to mind after he said this was how his brother needs to let those things from the past go - those memories and feelings that are attached to them are toxic and life threatening - we all go through life collecting heartaches and breaks - abuse and embarrassment - pain and suffering - but I can’t stress the importance of ‘LETTING IT GO’ enough - find a way to forgive and forget - cleanse your mind and your spirit and move on - we have no use for those debilitating things in your life - the good news is that there are ways to set yourself free from the ball and chain of your past - start by living each day in the present - leave the past where it belongs, right where it is, in the past - look at all the beauty and love that surrounds you - friends and family - the sunrise and fresh air - our generous earth - passion and purpose - all of the blessing and gifts you need are right there for the taking - oh and one more thing that will absolutely help you find peace, love, health and happiness: LIVE THE 7 and spread the Love.
