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.

There was a time in my life in the not so distant past where my ‘WILL POWER’ was practically nonexistent - I had no control over many of my choices and fell victim to many of life’s temptations on what seemed to be a daily basis - I remember making vows to myself on boys night out not to drink alcohol and partake in some of the other extra curricular activities - without fail I would put myself into a situation and no matter how hard I tried to resist, for one reason or another I would break down and give in - In those situations the giving in was usually influenced by peer pressure - but there were other situations where there was no one to point the finger at but myself - An example of that came soon after reading the book ‘The Sugar Blues’ by William Dufty - After William enlightened me to the dangers of sugar I decided to stop eating it cold turkey - The health threats that his book pointed out were enough of a motivating factor to support my decision for nearly six months - till one day I walked into a 7-11 to get a drink and had a complete meltdown - It started with a crispy creme doughnut and a Yoo Hoo chocolate drink - then it spiraled out of control and I had a pint of Ben & Jerry’s, four reese’s peanut butter cups, and a package of vanilla wafer cookies - I felt like a crack addict that just fell off the wagon - These are just two examples of my many failed attempts to control temptation and cravings - Maintaining control over one’s desires/cravings/temptation is very tricky business - I like to compare it to a juggling act where we have to keep 5 balls up in the air - We need mental fortitude - a healthy and well nourished body - emotional stability, which requires the balancing of our brain’s mood stabilizing chemicals like serotonin and dopamine - a desire to be fit and healthy - and most importantly the knowledge and the tools to make these things a part of our lives - ChiForce and The Seven Disciplines offers that balance and will help us take control of our choices - to learn more go to www.chiforce7.com

This article came in the perfect time of my life. As i am struggling with will power. It helps to know that other people as well know what you are going trough. It’s a lot tougher than i thought it would be. I have come to the point of giving up trying to have will power. However reading this article has kinda giving me a wake up call, that maybe i can really do this! And i plan to!
