"It
really gets you pumped up when you can see progress like that.
I remember when I first arrived at HP I felt like an old 48. My
muscles had seized up. I could feel it. And I knew I was pretty
out of shape. But today I felt much, much different. I realize
I have a long, long way to go if I want to get in really good
shape but I'll tell you today's re-evaluation gets you motivated
to strive for that."

"The
camp positively impacted not only my physical self but my mental,
emotional, and social side as well..I
had a blast. As I said previously, it was more challenging than
I thought it would be and more fun than I ever imagined. I was
quite nervous before I came because my fitness level is lower
than my husband's but the activities were so varied, the challenges
rewarding, and the group/instructors so tight and complementary
that I was truly sad to leave and have been thinking about it
all week!"
- Extreme Fitness Challenge Participant, Tracy Hull, speaking
of her experience at the Performance Institute's Extreme Fitness
Challenge Camp
"I
have been working with you at the Performance Institute in Burnaby
for a year and a half now, and I would like you to know what it
has done for me.
I
have suffered for years with cronic back problems and in the fall
of 2003 it was causing me such pain I had to visit a chiropractor.
I decided then that I would invest more time and energy into my
health and body. I began working on my program with you in Nov.
2003.
I
have been for most of my life an avid and competitive golfer.
I
could no longer play golf without first taking 2 Advil, and could
not play more than 2 days in a row.
After
6 months of my training program I began the 2004 golf season.
During the entire year, only once did I take an Advil and
on a number of occasions I played as many as five days in a row.
This
program has certainly enhanced my lifestyle. It is great
to be able to plan ahead for golf events, knowing that I
can play without pain. Many thanks Steve"

''I
have always wanted to be a professional tour golfer and came
to Vancouver four years ago to work with teaching professional,
Sean Richardson. We had reached the point where, for my game
to improve, my physical conditioning had to improve. Sean recommended
trainer Steve Ramsbottom of the Performance Institute and working
with him has been a life changing experience. The improvement
in my core strength, cardio, flexibility and overall fitness
has been phenomenal. Achieving the goals set by Steve and his
staff at the Performance Institute has also reinforced my confidence
in my ability to succeed and is helping me develop the mental
toughness required to compete at as a professional athlete.
More importantly, these changes have allowed Sean to bring my
golf game to a new level. Thanks Steve"
