"One of Derek's greatest strengths is his gift to motivate and encourage people into action. He has a humerous, congenial
approach but firm in motivating them to reach their goals. His group fitness and skipping classes, I attended were always
tough, energizing and fun. My children attended his soccer clinic and immediately applied their new skills taught, onto the
soccer field. Derek makes a connection and lasting impression with individuals both young and old looking to improve their
fitness skills and well-being."

“In
my mid 40’s, I embarked on something that may have seemed like mission impossible: pass the RCMP P.A.R.E. Test (Physical
Abilities Requirements Evaluation). Those who know this test will know that it is a tough physical fitness circuit type test,
targeting cardio, strength and endurance. I went to Derek with this challenge and what he helped me achieve was amazing! I
not only passed, but I passed it twice with increasingly better times. Derek set up a training program that simulated the
attributes of the test and we both worked hard on this for months. This program definitely gave me the edge on test day!!
For anyone
preparing for fitness testing for Police Service application, Derek’s the guy you need coaching you!”
--Greg Callaghan
"Derek, you are an awesome trainer, full of energy. Coming to you after I broke my leg and was done with
physiotherapy was probably the best thing I could have done. I was able to build up the muscle in my leg and start to train
over the summer leading into my first year in university. I also made the team, top 7, to run OUA's and CIS. Your
personality made the place a great place to workout in, fun and positive. You are very outgoing, enthusiastic, knowledgeable,
and a people person."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Derek three times a week for the past nine months and could not be more
satisfied with the results. My progress over this time is due in large part to the productive environment created by the
combination of his friendly attitude, his technical skills, and the personal level of detail and attention he seems able to
bring to each client. After my visits to doctors, chiropractors, physiotherapy, specialists etc, my work with Derek was
the most productive and I am now free from chronic back pain. I would highly recommend him as a personal trainer or fitness
consultant, it worked for me!!!"
-Joe Cotter
"I have known Derek close to 2 years both personally and professionally
and consider myself fortunate to come across an individual as him. Professionally, Derek has been my personal trainer
at Nortel for the period mentioned above and did an excellent job with it. He takes all the effort to sit down with each individual
and listen to their needs and come up with a program that tailor suits them and follows it till the goal is accomplished,
giving suggestions and useful tips all along the way. He goes that extra mile with each of his client by giving them the confidence
and motivation that they all require in achieving their goals. He is very well versed in his job and always updates his professional
training keeping in tune with the changing dynamics of the fitness industry. Personally, Derek is a wonderful, kind and
honest person who always developed a cordial friendship with his clients. His easy going attitude and relaxed personality
is surely a bonus to keep his clients coming back to him for more!"
