I was fat, I was tired of being fat. Working out and training is not something that should be done, but something that needs to be done, just like the dentist, doctor, nails, spas, and other life affirming steps to living longer and living well. My brother's obesity went to diabetes, colon cancer and now he is not mobile. I was at the certain age where if I did not start I would be fat forever. The days of losing overnight are long gone! I want to live longer, be fit and look fabulous in that order... Hiring a professional to manage my workout needs was the smartest, most effective way to ensure that my unhealthy path did a reversal. Thanks to a summer school boot camp, I lost 4 pounds per week and started down the path of healthy choices. Reading Dr. Oz motivated me to find a trainer. Finding a trainer like Derek motiviated me when I saw fabulous results with up to date health and fitness regimes. Now the numbers, my age is 52 on Christmas Eve, but my real age according to my numbers is 42. My numbers have all dropped a size 22 dress to a size 6! My cholesterol from 288 to 181! My weight from 230 to 136! My appearance looks 10-15 years! My energy is through the roof! Derek is professional, motivating, and difficult, but result driven. Having a trainer is is like having the right tools to create the path for a healthy life. - Catherine Strother

Since I have been working out with Derek Wohlers at Life Performance Enhancement, I feel fantastic! I lost 3 inches off my waist and now wear the same size pants I wore in college. At 50 years old, I am stronger, healthier, and fitter than I have ever been. Derek’s customized approach keeps everything fresh, interesting and fun! The core exercises have improved my golf game. I can drive the ball 40 yards further than before. I highly recommend Life Performance Enhancement to anyone that wants to feel great and get the most out of their workouts.

After coming home from the rehab center I was told I didn’t need anymore physical theray. But I began to loose strength almost immediately and almost falling 3 or 4 times, my daughters found Derek Who comes into my home to help me exercise. He comes 1 hour a day twice a week and after just a few weeks I began to improve. I haven’t fallen since. Also my strength, balance and mood has improved greatly. I look forward to his visits.

Derek has been a great help in getting me motivated and disciplined in my search to become more physically fit and loose weight. No matter what age you are, he knows what it takes to get you to where you need to be. I, myself, have lost 10 lbs of fat and feel better about myself. And that is worth a lot to me.

After training with Derek I noticed a big difference in the strength of my core. The workouts increased my ability to explode off the rubber and aloud me to throw harder deeper into games. I also noticed that the functional strength I gained helped me better use my body during my pitching motion. There is no doubt that these workouts will improve your performance on the mound.

I started training with Derek When I was 16 years old 4 days per week. Within the first 8 weeks I had increased the velocity on my fastball 3 MPH. I felt stronger not just in my larger muscles but in every muscle I used when throwing the ball. By the end of my senior year in high school I put on 25lbs of lean muscle increased the velocity in my fastball 5 MPH and received a scholarship to Long Beach State University. I would not be the player I am today if I didn’t have the chance to train with Derek. Thanks Coach!

I was reccomended by a professional baseball scout to begin training with Derek.  So that I could improve not only my strength and explosiveness, but my coordination and stamina.  After a few workouts with Derek I noticed I felt a lot stronger in my core section and I improved in my footwork and my range of motions.  My ability at third improved dramatically and I was now able to get to balls that I never had a chance at before.  I think this training would improve anyone who needs to improve their game.

I found Derek through Azusa Pacific University he was reccomended through their athletics department.  I was training for Miss California, USA and he was helping me get in shape for the big competition.  He was energetic, encouraging, professional, and actually fun to train with!  He made sure he new my goals and catered the workouts towards those goals.  He helped me use different muscles-ones I'd never used before-and broke me out of my same old routine.  My body was the strongest and tightest it's ever been.  Even now, I use many of the techniques he tought me and will continue to use them in future workouts as well.

I trained with Derek for three months this summer in preparation for for soccer season in August.  As an extreme athlete it is necessary for me to get my body into shape for extreme athletic performance.  The three to four sessions per week improved my speed, muscle strength, and overall health and fitness more than I could have done on my own.  His encouragement and his toughness had me looking forward to workout rather than dreading it.  Now two months into season, I remain injury free and am performing at my best.  I would reccomend this type of training to any athlete looking to reach that next level.
