High Intensity NationApr. 09, 2011 *
I have to thank
Dave Durell for taking the time to interview me for his web site
HighIntensityNation.com . I was a bit nervous at first when we started talking. Dave is a professional who has been in the fitness industry for many years and has worked in the industry at places like the
Tampa Bay Buccaneer's with head strength and conditioning coach
Mark Asanovich He was and has interviewed
Mike Mentzer , what could I possibly say in and interview with Dave to make it interesting enough to be on his web site? When we started talking it was like we were old friends, telling stories and talking about our experiences. Dave made the interview very comfortable. Before we started I asked Dave how long he expected the interview to last. He said 45 minutes to an hour, before we knew it we had been talking almost an hour and we could have talked twice a long.
It was truly a pleasure doing this interview with Dave and I look forward to working with him on some projects in the future.
Thanks again Dave.

It was July 2007 and I was on my way to
IDEA World Fitness Convention , a fitness conference held in San Diego, when I sat next to an research oncologist from Drexel. We started talking about the
IDEA Convention , the fitness business and how Vertex Fitness could relate what we do with the type of research he was doing. We talked about many thing; how to go about funding a study, what groups are out there that are doing funding, why they were funding these studies to getting the results published and how that helps everyone involved. It was a very interesting and informative conversation. I spent the whole week at the conference learning about the fitness business, all while this conversation I had on the plane kept replaying in my head. So, one of the first thing I did when I got home from the IDEA convention was talked with Vertex Fitness client
Dr Paul Gilman, Medical Director at Lankenau Cancer Center . Dr. Gilman had been a client at Vertex Fitness for some time and he had seen great results. He had come to us with some low back and hip joint pain and through weeks and months of training with us the pain has slowly subsided. He and I sat down and talked about the idea of working together and producing a study that could help his patients. We talked about many things, but soon came back to the way the workouts were helping him, his joint pain had subsided and his low back was feeling a lot better. He told me how one of the drugs that is commonly prescribed to breast cancer patients causes a lot of joint pain. He also told me that because of this side effect many patients elect to go off the drug. Unfortunately, going off the drug is not recommended because it has be shown to keep these women in reemission after a bout with breast cancer. So we decided to see if doing the type of exercise we do at Vertex Fitness could help elevate some of the joint pain associated with taking these drugs. If it could help with the join pain, we think women will stay on the drugs longer, stay in reemission longer and have better quality in their life.

Teenshop, Inc ., founded in 1985, is one of the nation's longest running week-end empowerment programs dedicated exclusively to the positive development of adolescent girls. Students 13 to 18 who are not teen parents are eligible to join. Teenshop's national recognition includes

Los Angeles Times .
In 1985 while working full-time as a television news personality at
Philadelphia's CBS affiliate , Elleanor Jean Hendley wanted to make a positive difference in the community by developing a program to empower adolescent girls. As a former New Jersey public school educator who created and directed an award-winning after school dance program for girls, Ms. Hendley knew first hand how enrichment activities help students achieve and builds self-esteem.
On Tuesday July 12th, the Vertex Fitness staff worked with 10 amazing young women. During their visit to the studio, each of the girls experienced a personal training session. The day concluded with an informal round table discussion with Vertex Fitness Owner
Dwayne Wimmer and the rest of the staff, about exercise, nutrition and the personal training profession. The girls, many of whom never worked with a trainer before, asked many questions and embraced the experience. It was a fun day, one that the staff of Vertex Fitness looks forward to each year.

I was interviewed by
Markus Goldman from Philadelphia's 93.3 WMMR which aired on Sunday 1/23/2011. The topic of discussion was A New You in 2011. We discussed exercising properly to maximize both your potential and the results by using proper form during your workouts. Each question lead to more questions and we talked so much that we had to do this in two parts. Part 2 will air next Sunday, 1/30/2011 at 6:30AM on
WMMR .

Run a business with strength, definition, and cardio health: Dwayne Wimmer shows you how
When juggling career, family, social obligations, and daily life, is exercise the first obligation dropped? Do all those obligations prevent you from getting in shape? Can you imagine running your own business, having strength, muscle definition, and cardio health? Dwayne Wimmer, owner and hands-on manager of Vertex Fitness , lives that life.
But he's a pro, you say, he has to be fit. If it were only the fitness angle, that would be an argument. Dwayne also very actively manages his business, from handwritten cards to new clients to promoting Vertex Fitness actively on Facebook and Twitter.
Plus Dwayne and Vertex sponsor many social activities, like the Mainline Film Festival (catch it next year). How does Dwayne do all of this? First, by networking and maintaining an online presence but also by knowing the most effective physiology and exercise.
How does this help his clients? A typical work-out is 30 minutes and includes a cardio warm-up. Most of the session is strength training but if you move enough weight with proper form and speed, there is an additional cardiovascular component. The work-out targets muscle groups and addresses functional strength and range of motion. Clients work with a personal trainer beside them at every moment. This ensures proper form and effective movement, which maximizes results. In other words, in 30 minutes, you've done your cardio and your strength and you're free to attend the Film Festival, buy groceries, or have quality time with your family and friends.
Sound too good to be true? It's not. I recently joined Dwayne for an introductory session (which you can get for free). I went home sore, having worked muscles that I seem to be skipping with my many other activities. I recovered in a day or two but it was a potent reminder that we can choose to spend all of our time in the gym, we can live without fitness, or we can work effectively, safely, and quickly and lead a life.
If you want to be fit but not to be a "typical gym meathead," get over to Vertex Fitness, at 24 North Merion Avenue, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010. Live is short so live it beautifully and fully, like Dwayne Wimmer.

New Year’s Resolve It’s not too late to get it together BY TARA BEHAN PUBLISHED JANUARY 11, 2007 AT 12:00 AM
New Year’s Resolve It’s not too late to get it together for 2007. 1. This is the year I’m going to stop wishing there were more hours in the day. 2. This is the year I’m finally going to get organized. 3. This is the year I’m going to lose those 10 pounds. Dwayne Wimmer , owner of Vertex Fitness Personal Training Studio in Bryn Mawr . “Be aware of what you’re eating. Don’t try and change your entire diet all at once. You’re more likely to stay with it if you make small changes.” 4. This is the year I’m going to take a ballroom dancing class. The Numbers Game More than 50 percent of the mail that comes to your home is trash. Take five minutes a day to run those unwanted credit card offers and circulars through the shredder and eliminate the prospect of being inundated with a week’s worth of paper clutter.According to experts, it takes 21 days for a new habit to develop. So whatever you’re trying to accomplish this year—from quitting smoking to exercising on a regular basis—commit yourself to three weeks of good behavior so you won’t get frustrated with, or intimated by, the process.Take Back Your Space Kids’ Stuff Garage Closets Kitchen Source: National Association of Professional Organizers (napo.net ).
