Testimonials

I was about 100 pounds over optimal weight and had hypertension. I spent a week in the hospital in mid-2010 with stroke symptoms and felt I was on a slow downward spiral in terms of my health and quality of life.I felt I had no control over my health or that I could change my eating and exercise habits.

LPE gave me my life back!

I currently weigh 215 pounds and have lost a total of 64 pounds. I work out three times a week using a variety of techniques. Im confident I will never be overweight or out of shape again thanks to Dereks coaching and encouragement. I highly recommend LPE to anyone who is serious about taking control of their life and ready to make the necessary changes. You will achieve your goals.

Before I began training with LPE I had a moderately active lifestyle. A friend that was training with Derek introduced me to the advantages of having a personal trainer which was something I had never considered before. After beginning to work out with Derek I found that consistency was the key to getting the results I wanted. What I enjoy most are the results. I lost 9 pounds in a short time and look forward to future workouts. My energy has increased I have less stress in my life and the overall improvement in my health has been amazing. He keeps it fresh with innovative and varied routines each session. He keeps you motivated and always takes a personal approach whether Im training 1 on 1 or in a small group. After witnessing my progress several of my friends also began training with Derek and they have experienced the same benefits as well. I encourage everyone who wants to make a positive change in their lives to become a dedicated to themselves and begin training with Derek.

Before working out with Life Performance Enhancement, I didnt feel motivated to do physical activity, and was often times overwhelmed. I always felt uncomfortable to utilize the gym on my own, feeling unsure about how to use the equipment, and feeling out of my element.

While training with LPE, I began to see a vast improvement in my overall mood. Working out really helped to make me feel better about myself, and generally put me in positive mood. I also felt very comfortable working out with Derek because he made it enjoyable and gave me several goals to work towards. I could see results right away.

I have gained so much knowledge about living a healthy lifestyle. Physically, I feel much more confident about any task that I take on, and I am mentally stronger as well. Working out with LPE helped me to develop a healthy routine to keep me in shape on a daily basis.

I started training with Derek in December in preparation for Spring Training. Through these sessions, I hoped to become more explosive and powerful. Within the first 6 weeks I gained 10 lbs of lean muscle and I feel stronger than ever. My overall performance has increased and thanks to the nutrition plan and strength training Derek provided, I have achieved my goal. The individualized attention I got from Derek met my specific needs. He has helped me maximize my potential as a professional athlete while minimizing my risk of injury.

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 thatnext level.

Derek and Life Performance Enhancement has been a great help in getting me motivated and disciplined in my search to become more physically fit and lose 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 16lbs and feel better about myself. And that is worth a lot to me.

Training with Life Performance The strength and conditioning program I participated in was great. Through hard work I gained 21 pounds of muscle. The nutritional program showed me the value in eating to achieve my training goals. My arm strength increased as well as all of my offensive statistics. The consistent training gave me a new perspective on managing my time and my grades improved in the spring semester. I would recommend any baseball player who wants to improve his game to train at LPE.

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.

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.

Derek,
Ever since I started training with you I have noticed a positive change in my body. I remember, vividly, my first day of training how I couldn’t lift myself off the mat very well. Being very overweight and sitting at a desk all day had taken its toll on my body. Now I feel energized and I CAN MOVE! I can climb a flight of stairs without loosing my breath. I feel healthy and I am committed to the time it’s going to take to be fit and with you guiding me I know I can do it.

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 didnt 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 havent fallen since. Also my strength, balance and mood has improved greatly. I look forward to his visits.

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.
