My son Ashwin signed up for PEAC Performance fitness training because of his tennis coach Glendon Nicholas’ recommendation. Ashwin’s PEAC Performance fitness training program is individualized to optimize his Tennis performance by working on varied aspects of his athletic performance. He has developed improved foot speed, reaction time, balance, strength and endurance through his training regimen. He is challenged at every single session to extend the ceiling of his capability. Thanks to his off season training, Ashwin is going to start the new season with a definite advantage.

PEAC Performance:
...where plates are pushed, not washed
...where weights are lifted, not watched
...where bears and inchworms rule
...where suicides are the norm
...where 17 is THE unlucky number
...where there is only one king
...and where Chris Cahill hasn't been spotted in years!
PEAC Performance...it's not a gym, it's pure friggin' hell!

I am incredibly impressed with Evan and the team of trainers that he has around him. We’ve sent two of our high school age kids to Evan and their experience could not have been better. Evan is professional, positive and knows his stuff! He works with them so well—he knows just how much to push them to keep them always reaching beyond their comfort zone, all the while encouraging every step of the way.

Four years ago I had snuck up on 196 pounds. I was able to increase my exercise regimen and get to 185 pounds after about a year on my own. Looking to improve on my golf game, fitness, and weight loss, I enrolled in Par Breakers (a program ran by peac performance). Within weeks my core strengthened and my attitude towards fitness changed. I then ramped things up by enrolling in the Functional Training Class and admit, I am addicted and have been for more than three years. This program is the spearhead of my fitness regimen and sets the tone each week. Now a total four years later I am at my goal body weight of 160 pounds (+/- a few from weekend escapades) and in the best shape I’ve been since my college days. Yes, discipline and life style modifications are key, but the Functional Fitness Program is challenging, provides camaraderie, and makes getting and then staying fit fun.

I have been working out the same way for countless years; essentially able to maintain my strength, but not really improving my physique. I joined PEAC performance's Functional Fitness training classes last year and was surprised to see such positive results. I found the overall training and personal attention both challenging and impactful. Also, Evan and his team of trainers have taught me how to supplement my home regimen as well. I'm in my second year with PEAC Performance and know that without the classes and attention, I'd still be plugging along with little benefit.

My classes at PEAC Performance are a perfect companion to my running and tennis. At 41 years old, I feel stronger and healthier than ever before! Jenny Long, 41 yr old participant in the Functional Fitness Training Program for 3+ years. Group Functional training at Peac Performance has made me stronger in my forties then I was in my twenties and thirties. Evan makes the workouts challenging, never boring, and at the same time always fun!

I have been training with PEAC Performance for at least 5 years. The program has improved my fitness from head to toe and I love that it is friendly and never boring. The class has helped me grow stronger and more confident to take on other physical challenges outside of class. Also, as a runner in her 40's, I so appreciate conditioning that helps me not get injured.

I am a huge fan of Evan and the trainers at PEAC Performance. They do a fantastic job of creating workouts that have improved my strength (especially core) and endurance. At 47 I am as fit as I have ever been in my life. At PEAC Performance the trainers you never do the same workout twice so going to the gym does not become routine. And PEAC Performance trainers motivate me to train much harder than I would on my own. In addition, I have never met anyone in a class that was not a great person. I have been a client for 4+ years training twice a week at 6 am. Just that fact alone really says everything you need to know about the quality of the experience.

Every action is precede by a decision. People who get what they want make good decisions. Fitlife is a good decision. After 2 months of working out at Fitlife I have dropped 25lbs. and feel athletic abilities returning. I recommend Fitlife to anyone wanting to get in shape and start feeling good about themselves. Make A Good Decision! You have to take action or you will never get what you want!

Since doing BOC (Belly Off Class) I look forward to our workouts. I feel more energized (I am able to climb steps, tie shoes without losing my breath). I enjoy the constant changes to the classes which keep it fresh and challenging. One of my most noticeable changes is my quicker recovery time after each exercise. I hope to keep going for a long time!

Working with the team of Fitlife has changed my life. Heart disease is a serious concern within my family. I made a conscious decision to change my habits at the age of 39.

In 2007, my doctor gave me the news I didn’t want to hear. “We received the results of your blood work and you are heading down the wrong path.” My cholesterol was 221 (target under 200) and my triglycerides were 349 (target is less then 150). “You are a candidate for heart disease and you are predisposed for diabetes with the current results.” Working with the dedicated staff, we arranged a program working out two days per week in the group sessions. I run one other day on my own as training for some local 5k races.

Today, I am 30 pounds lighter, my cholesterol is 174 and triglycerides are 115. All within the recommended ranges per my physician. I now continue each week with a maintenance program and have kept the weight off for over two years now. The team at Fitlife took the time to understand my goals and create a personal program that works for me. I made the decision to change, however, they helped me make it a reality.

Over 3 years ago I started going to Fitlife. Before that, I hadn’t exercised in 20 years. I began attending exercise classes 2x/week and then 3x/week. Now I am a member at Fitlife and I go 4-5x/week. As a result, I lost about 20lbs. and I am enjoying overall improved health. My arthritis symptoms have almost disappeared entirely. I experience fewer headaches and have more energy. Fitlife provided me with a much needed ticket to wellness. My sincerest thanks to the personal trainers, group exercise instructors and the rest of the wonderful staff.

Who would think at 45+ yrs old I would look forward to getting up at 5:15am to go and get pushed to the limit by our owner personal “drill sergeant”, and pay for it!! But I think that I speak for all of the “Team” at 6am that when I say that we have a great experience through Fitlife and Peac Performance, are in better shape than in high school (all right…..maybe college) and feel better all day long after starting off our day with their amazing staff!

Working with the team of Fitlife has changed my life.  Heart disease is a serious concern within my family.  I made a conscious decision to change my habits at the age of 39. 

With the combination of eating better and a workout plan, I have exceeded every physical goal I have set.

In 2007, my doctor gave me the news I didn’t want to hear.  “We received the results of your blood work and you are heading down the wrong path.”

My cholesterol was 221 (the target is to be less than 200) and my triglycerides were 349 (the target is to be less than 150).  “You are a candidate for heart disease and your are predisposed for diabetes with the current results.”

Working with John and the dedicated staff, we arranged a program working out two days per week in the group sessions.  I run one other day on my own as training for some local 5k races.

Today, I am 30 pounds lighter, my cholesterol is 174 and triglycerides are 115.  All within the recommended ranges per my physician. 

I now continue each week with a maintenance program and have kept the weight off for over two years now.

I sent my daughter to FitLife to receive training for softball and volleyball, and was delighted to hear that the trainers would also customize a program for MY needs. They have done a phenomenal job at getting me in shape. The workouts leave me feeling energized and motivated for the balance of my day.

If I can do it, anyone can! Josh and Evan have turned me into a fitness nut. They customized a program that was specific to my personal needs, then made the workouts un-intimidating and fun. These guys make you get results!

We brought our daughter in for an evaluation and from the door Evan took an immediate interest in her and her training needs. Evan customized parts of the sessions to meet her specific track needs. While the workouts are tough, Evan is personable and approachable and answers questions we may have. The best part is that our daughter is excited about training and looks forward to every season.

Fitlife has been excellent for my son Patrick, we have seen really tremendous strides in strength, speed, and agility. He enjoys the environment and loves all the trainers that work there. If you can stick with the program you will really see great development-whatever your goals are, It Works!

I have participated in the sports performance group training for two years now. Over the time I have seen excellent improvement in my stamina and strength (especially core). They do a great job of organizing different workouts for each session. As a result I am never bored of the training and it keeps me totally motivated. They have tons of energy and are extremely motivating. They are very focused on each individual and and what aspect of training they should be focusing on with each individual so they meet the needs and weaknesses of that person. Overall they are totally committed to insuring that all their clients get the maximum benefit from their training.

I was recently drafted by the White Sox organization and realized that spring training was right around the corner and I wanted to make sure that I was in the best shape of my life heading into camp. I came to Fitlife so they could help me prepare for the minor league and hopefully on to the big leagues in the near future. Fitlife exceeded my expectations, by increasing my overall power, core strength, flexibility, and overall stamina. Thank you so much Fitlife, I now have all the confidence in the world heading out to spring training.

Fitlife and Peac Performance are a terrific partner to Hopewell Valley Lacrosse, helping to prepare our young athletes to compete to the best of their abilities. We could not ask for more competent and friendly fitness professionals to refer our players and families.

Fitlife and PEAC Performance have been valuable partner s with Stuart Lacrosse and have truly gone the distance in supporting, preparing, training, and motivating Stuart’s student athletes. Their Training, amazing staff in particular, has had a vital ongoing positive impact on the girls’ ability, confidence, and healthy work ethic. Their quality, courtesy, and friendliness of the staff have made them a pleasure to work with.

As a manager of a girls’ U12 all-star softball team, we wanted to get the girls physically ready for the upcoming season. The team signed up for the speed and agility clinic at PEAC Performance. John and his staff were great with the girls. The classes were non-stop action in a team environment, which is just what we were looking for. The instructors challenged the girls with many different exercises that pushed them to find endurance, strength, and speed that they didn’t know existed in them, especially when they are exhausted. The facility is the best in the area for this type of training. Personally, my daughter loves this clinic. The exercises have really helped her speed and footwork. After each class, she can’t wait for the next one and has asked to continue going throughout the year. That’s the part that I as a father and coach like the most. The girls are having fun doing this workout. This fall, I’ll be bringing my AAU basketball to PEAC! It’s been a great experience for everyone.

The team at Fitlife took the time to understand my goals and create a personal program that works for me.  I made the decision to change, however, they helped me make it a reality.

My teenage daughter has been using  PEAC Performance Training to condition herself for lacrosse for three years now.   She uses it pre-season to improve her quickness and agility;  to strengthen and tone --  especially her legs, to prevent ACL injury! – and to sharpen her attitude and competitiveness.  She also uses it after LAX season ends just to stay sharp and in shape.   She’s not someone who likes to work out on her own, but she loves PEAC and the great trainers there, as well as hanging with her LAX buddies; she eagerly looks forward to each and every session.   This year, she made the high school varsity team as a freshman, and I know that one factor has been the fantastic training she’s received the last three years at PEAC Performance.   We’ll see you again this summer, as soon as her travel LAX team season ends

I just wanted to let you know that I have heard good stuff from the boys on your present Fit Life instructor. They say he works the hell out of them, which they say is good, but he communicates with them, he doesn’t talk down to them.

I can see Paddy´s Hockey game getting stronger and stronger.  He made the headlines with the game winning goal.  He is so excited! 

As a coach I have watched how my players have become stronger, quicker and more confident. Fitlife teaches not just basic weight training but why it is important for the body to work as a whole to achieve maximum results.

The training our team received allowed us to play a grueling 100 game schedule and perform at out bestall the way until the last out of the last game.

Professional baseball is played everyday for 7 months. The physical and mental conditioning I obtained from Fitlife was the most advanced I have ever received. The rewards of the training were endless.

Fitlife has fully prepared me mentally and physically for the rigors of Division 1 Football. I can now compete to the best of my ability on the football field.

What makes FitLife so unique and exceptional compared to the competition is that whether you are a professional, high school, or college athlete trying to get into shape, they will customize a program to specifically match all your individual training needs.

After being in the FitLife program, my speed, agility, strength, and work ethic have all improved considerably. The trainers were always by my side pushing me to new limits and always encouraging me to reach my goals. I would recommend them to any athlete that wants to take their game to levels they never thought possible.

FitLife Trained Athletes stand apart from the rest. My son (Jonathon) is in the best shape of his life. He is going to have an awesome senior year in football thanks to FitLife.

Solid, solid to the core in my sking and physical well being is how I feel training with FitLife. My experience has given me confidence in my physical ability to perform at my athletic peak in my future endeavors.

Eight months after training with FitLife, my pride, determination, and self confidence have hit an all time high. I left for college stronger, bigger and faster than ever before. I am now a life-long member.

We started our personal training programs with Josh and Evan over 6 months ago, after seeing results with our 16yr. old son Ross, who was in a training program for baseball. Their programs have helped us improve our endurance both physically and mentally along with building muscle and losing weight and just making us both feel good about ourselves. These guys are not only good people but great motivators.
