"I started training with Dean at 16 years old with the goal of gaining better conditioning, movement, and strength on the tennis court. I spent over ten years in his gym, always wanting to come back for more. Dean is the most dedicated, committed, and driven person I know. He pushed me when I needing pushing, encouraged me when I needed encouragement, and taught me a number of life lessons along the way. Dean gave me an overall appreciation for health and fitness in my everyday life, and for that I am forever grateful!"

“I really learned the essentials of living a fit life with Dean as my coach. I was seriously out of shape and not focused on my physical well being. Dean helped with me with my training as well as recommended diet choices. I lost more than 35 pounds, began to run and have maintained that condition for the last decade. He is knowledgeable and motivational.
