After searching for a gym and personal trainer that wasn't like the normal, generic gym where you…read moreoften felt like a number or having to deal with people staring and competing; Shana Ross's website popped up in my Google search and it was near my area. Even though her website was a bit old school, I read every word and was moved by her story. I decided to check it out and I signed up for personal training. To be frank, I wasn't a big fan at first, working from home over these past 2 years and being less active wasn't doing my body any favors and it was really hard in the beginning. But I stuck with it (and sticking with it) and I'm so grateful I did! I couldn't hold a plank for 5 seconds, now I'm holding it at 30 seconds. I couldn't do 10 pounds on the machine, and now I'm doing 80 pounds. Mary Beth is my trainer and I'm so very grateful that I get the honor of working out with her. She gets me, and can read my mind. She can tell when I'm talking negatively to myself and addresses it. If I bring up an issue like the time I told her that I had a charlie horse that woke me up in the middle of the night in my calf. She gave me (a natural, non-medicated) solution that instantly helped. She has taught me the power of breathing and corrects my positioning (and I don't care how many YouTube workout videos you do-- no one can give you feedback or make sure you're doing it properly). She also knows when I'm cheating myself like when I don't squat all the way, she addresses it with firmness and love. Also, the gym environment is warm and friendly and you can tell the other trainers love their job, and the other clients love them too. It's really the best and it's an investment that I'm so glad I made in myself. Highly recommend if you need support in your fitness & wellness journey!

David and his Staff at Genesis Athletic Performance are phenomenal. His strength and speed training…read morehave made significant improvements in my son's strength/speed/stamina and overall athletic performance. David has individualized the sessions for my son who plays football and wrestles at Cy Falls HS. As a high performing athlete you strive to be in better physical condition than your competition. Whether that competition is your own teammate (fighting for the starting position) or an on field/court/mat competitor. Genesis gives him that edge. The truth is the schools can't and don't offer a program that gets you to that level. GENESIS does and has done so for my son. David and his staff have developed individualized programs that not only prepare him for Football and Wrestling seasons, but keep him in peak shape DURING the season. Austin's speed, strength, stamina, explosiveness and athletic performance have improved substantially since he started at Genesis. Without question, there are few athletes at Cy Falls in his physical condition, which is due to his hard work, his desire to get better and the training/guidance of the Genesis staff. In addition to the training, Austin has been able to network with other top performing athletes in his sports that also work out at Genesis. Working out and with District/State Champions, College Athletes and other high performing athletes allows him to see the dedication it takes to get to those levels. Athletes at those levels push each other harder and don't slack off in the weight room. It also gives him a change to talk technique, tactics and strategy and build friendships with athletes he would not normally have access to. As a former Southwest Conference athlete (yes I'm that old), I am seriously envious of the training my son gets at Genesis and as every old guy does, I think how much better I could have been with this type of training. It is equal or exceeds many D-1 training/performance programs. It really is that good. In fact, if you think your son is already in peak condition, I would challenge you to letting him try a week at Genesis. I believe you will be shocked at how much better he can get and that he was not in as good as shape as you/he thought he was. Several others have taken my challenge and lost. Their kids are now working out at Genesis with Austin and becoming better athletes in the process. SO what do I really think. If your child is willing to do the work (they work their butt's off - watch the videos or just stop by), to be in absolute top physical condition when he/she is competing. Desires the advantage that peak physical conditioning gives one athlete over the other, than Genesis without a doubt is the place to send him/her. The reality is if you desire to be "All District / District Champion" or more you have to work harder than your competition. If your willing to do the work, Genesis will give you a serious edge in obtaining your goal.

Genetically, I'm a larger woman with goals of fat loss and muscle tone for my specific body type and his explanation of nutrition and exercise is something I will take with me forever. Our 1:1 sessions have been helping me reach consistent results while not getting burnt out mentally. Calvin is very patient yet motivating which separates him from other businesses. I have had many personal trainers before Calvin but his expertise SHOWS as soon as you walk into his gym. I feel stronger physically AND mentally, which is not something every personal trainer can help you with. Consistency is the key and Calvin is the locksmith!

Things I appreciate are below, but summary if you're looking for a new personal trainer and coach reach out to James Lai / Uplift Wellness! Things I appreciate (not in a particular order) Accommodating to my schedule.. virtual on-line sessions make it easier for us to schedule regardless of where I am- at home or abroad. Accountability partner.. having regular sessions with James helps me stay focused on getting enough weekly exercise and on continuing to work toward my goals. Guidance on form and encouragement throughout the sessions.. this helps with motivation to push a bit and minimizes chances of injury. I also enjoy the variance in my routines (every time is different), the functional approach and use of compound movements. James is able to work with whatever equipment you have and make recommendations for additional equipment if you want. I recommend James if you're looking for a change!
