Sports Specific Testimonials

 Kimberly

I have been racing in marathons, triathlons and century bike races for many years. I decided that I wanted to increase my endurance and muscle tone and I wanted to improve my results. I started working with Bernie and saw a 23 minute improvement on my year over year time at the Oceanside 70.3 Ironman. I felt great and felt that Bernie really motivated me. I would recommend Bernie to any athlete or person who wanted to improve their physical fitness.
