PowerCore Health and Fitness

I personally haven’t worked much with Debbie, but my wife (W) has been training with her for 3.5 years. W has tried a variety of different trainers and fitness methods, but Debbie has been the best, by far. When W started training with her, W was Type 2 Diabetic, overweight, and suffering from chronic leg pain. W's doctor was seriously concerned about whether it would be possible for W to reverse through diet and exercise alone. Through weekly sessions, W was able to reduce her blood sugar value to a Pre-Diabetic level and continues to improve today. The woman I knew years ago went from chronic pain and having difficulties climbing stair to W hiking with our 6 month daughter on her back this past summer.

When W became pregnant with our only child, Debbie provided exercise to strengthen her abdominal muscles and hip flexibility so as to better cope with the strain of giving birth. While W ended up having a C-Section, the preparation made for a vastly accelerated recovery. The doctors were astonished at how quickly she was back on her feet.

All of these benefits have been wonderful, but none of them are what motivated me to write this review. For as long as I have known W, she has struggled with severe depression. Medication and therapy help, to a degree, but if you asked me what the single greatest contributor to her mental well being is, I would have to say it's the time she spends training with Debbie. Physical health is certainly important, but I could never put a price on the quality of life improvements that W has enjoyed thanks to Debbie's unwavering support. I got my happy W back.

Over the past 3.5 years, there have been times when our finances were tight. W voiced guilt over the funds we allocated to continue training with Debbie, knowing there were other bills that might be more important. My answer has always been the same. I would gladly skip every other luxury in my life if it meant my wife could continue. Short of putting food on the table for our daughter, I can’t think of a single thing in my own life I would consider a better use of our income.

When I started with Debbie, I was severely obese with type 2 diabetes. I have very bad knees (life long problem that became worst with the extra weight), called patellar tracking disorder. Walking up and down stairs was unbearable. My main goal was to become healthy enough to have a healthy pregnancy.

With her guidance in nutrition and training consistently 3 times a week, I dropped 40lbs and became borderline pre-diabetic. I'm able to walk up and down stairs without any pain because of her commitment to helping me. This summer, I literally hiked moderate to expert mountain trails weekly with my 6-month daughter on my back.

I have since moved from the area due to covid but she also made accommodation so I could do remote work out sessions with her.

I'm beyond grateful to Debbie. I got my life back because she supported me 100%.

Debbie is a great fitness coach and nutritionist for anyone who is focused on improving their health, rehabilitation, strength, or any other fitness goals! Her credentials completely back this up. More importantly, in my opinion, the manner that she coaches and the private fitness facility that she coaches in provide a comfortable individualized setting to make progress in!

Debbie is very professional, takes the time to answer questions and provide the appropriate treatment. She provides a treatment tailored to the client. Would highly recommend this business.

Deb is a wonderful trainer regardless of your age or ability, She is a professional master teacher dedicated to helping you achieve your best self whether you are competing or recovering from an injury. I have worked with her for 2 years and I love her approach to training.
