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.

‘MOTHER NATURE’ that is! Are the two of you on good terms? Do you tell her how much you appreciate her and her unconditional love and generosity? How is she feeling? Is she in good health? These are important questions that need to be addressed and discussed among all of her children - the collective US! - Mother Nature with her consistent blessings is always taking care of us but do we return the favor?
Our culture, with all the machines and technology, makes it very easy for us to become disconnected - once we cut the cord between ourselves and nature all hell breaks loose - it’s obvious that many start to take earth’s provisions for granted and some of us end up having absolutely no regard for her at all. The results of this disregard have been devastating - pollution is everywhere - you can see the smog in the air, landfills are now an accepted part of our landscape, and our oceans, rivers, lakes, streams and underground springs are victims as well.
Before the invention of the combustible engine the large majority of the earth’s human inhabitants were hunters, fisherman, farmers, and gatherers. The dynamic of the relationship between humans and nature created a very strong bond, deep respect, and an overall appreciation for the earth and the abundant bounty she provides. If there once was a connection or respect for nature it was lost somewhere during the last hundred years or so - Technology was and still is intended to make our lives easier, more manageable and more convenient - this may be true but at what cost? Many of those conveniences are major contributors to the aforementioned destruction of nature which I believe is a direct correlation to the drastic decline we’re seeing in people’s over all health and well-being.
I believe there are solutions to all of our earthly problems but the only way we stand a chance to correct them is if we make an effort to reconnect - Work on creating a closer relationship with Mother Nature and stop taking so much while making an effort to give back or at least show her a little more well deserved respect and appreciation. I could give you many suggestions on how to reconnect with nature but I will give you the the one that’s at the top of my list - grow a garden - This simple task will immediately change your perception and appreciation for nature -
In closing I want to say that I think Planet Earth is in desperate need of our immediate attention and I also think she is well worth it - after all she is our Mother.
