Initially, I was a little bit intimidated about the detox protocol because I have been a vegetarian…read morefor 40 years. The biggest challenge was that I needed to do a major mental turn-around to incorporate meat consumption back into my diet to increase the protein I was giving my body. I have adapted and am feeling great! Speaking of a mental turn-around ... those around me think I am on a diet. Yes, there is an extensive list of foods that I am not eating. Yes, sometimes it is hard to follow my protocol. But, about six weeks into the protocol, I had an epiphany. I am not feeling deprived because I made the decision that what I put in my body is my CHOICE. I am CHOOSING not to eat the foods that feed my inflammation. So, when someone says, "Oh, you CAN'T eat this," my response is, "I could, but I CHOOSE not to." It's been quite an interesting shift in thinking. In my case, the road to better health is not a quick fix. After all, I have many, many years (I'm 70) of eating (and drinking) foods that have not served my body. I am thankful that I found Dr. Cole and his team to help me along in my journey. I couldn't ask for more helpful, kind, and knowledgeable individuals to be on MY team!

Working with Heather was truly a game-changer for my teen athlete daughter. She took the time to listen to my daughter's goals, assess her eating habits, and explain exactly why certain nutrition strategies matter for both performance and recovery. She offered practical recommendations (and recipes) we could use. I learned a lot, too! Heather has a wealth of experience working with athletes- and it shows. If you are looking for guidance that's evidence-based, practical, and personalized --athlete or not -- Heather Mangieri is the absolute best.

I think a lot guys think the way I did before I attended classes at PFP. I still have my regular gym membership, but I thoroughly enjoy attending classes at PFP to switch up my routine. Tom and the rest of the staff are engaging, friendly, welcoming and really care about pushing you to maximize results. I've really enjoyed the strength and circuit trainings that we've done. Kettlebell swings, sled pushing, pull-ups, bear crawls, deadlifts, abs, and more in a circuit training style will really get you shredded in a hurry! I recommend going with a friend to your first class to give it a trial run. You most likely will be back after your first class! If you're worried bout pricing, there are some very affordable groupons available.

The trainers know what they are doing and always offer advice and correction during workouts. They also have the massage therapists and a few infrared sauna pods (requires a session booking). Tiffany is one of the best massage therapists I've ever had, and she's usually booked a month out. The facility is always clean and there are plenty of restrooms (with showers too).

Not to mention, their equipment is top-notch. FF has outstanding machines that isolate certain muscles from different angles. (perfect for bodybuilding!) I am proud to be a member of this gym because its uplifting atmosphere motivates me to show up every single day.

It is an old school gym with a cool vibe, but unfortunately, the equipment was lacking. I am fortunate to be able to go to an amazing gym in Las Vegas, and in comparison, there was no speciality equipment here that I am used to using.

The pool area also has a communal hot tub, and sauna. The ladies locker room has a steam room, with showers. As someone who enjoys group exercise classes it is great to have an option to sign up for free classes as well (cycling, yoga, etc.) Spa Harmony is fantastic, and my 80 minute facial was the best that I had ever had. To top it off, CWC is taking so many extra steps during COVID. The fitness center is spotless, and the employees are constantly cleaning and have their masks on. I have been a member on and off at this fitness center for around 6 years or so and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The prices are higher than surrounding fitness centers, but you get so much more for your money by joining here.

If UPMC can get away with gaslighting women at a wellness center, imagine how their healthcare providers gaslight and treat women. UPMC's handling of this situation is completely unacceptable!
