Dwayne’s Interview on Take Charge of Your Productivity with Penny Zenker
Listen to Penny Zenker interview Dwayne Wimmer on her show “Take Charge of Your Productivity”
This week we’ll be further exploring the connection between your physical health and ability to be productive. This is your physiology, and it is an integral part of your psychology. Often we take our health for granted until something isn’t functioning correctly, and then we have a heightened sense of awareness and concern. The body is our most precious and complex machinery, yet many of us take better care of our car then we do of our bodies. You wouldn’t put diesel in an unleaded car. Why? Because it wouldn’t work anymore! So why do we continue to neglect our body, feed it foods that we know are not optimal for us, and simply not give it the attention and care that it needs? Our bodies need 3 things: activity, healthy fuel, and rest. Like your car, if we wait until something is malfunctioning there may be irreparable damage. Would you wait to change the oil on your car until it was hissing and overheating? It might be too late! Likewise you’re body needs preventative maintenance and that is what we will be talking about today. Join me as I chat with Dwayne Wimmer, owner and operator of Vertex Fitness. He will share his expertise on how to get in your best shape ever without becoming a slave to the gym!

Driven by knowledge and results both, while a strength coach at Villanova University, he worked closely with world class athletes such as Brian Westbrook, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles, on strength training and conditioning for optimal performance. Dwayne’s client base extends much further than world class athletes. Along with athletes, he works with adolescents to seniors, and he’s a highly acclaimed and sought out personal trainer who has received numerous awards, such as Best of the Main Line Personal Training Studio and Best Main Line Personal Trainer. A graduate of Missouri Western State University, Dwayne has a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education, with an emphasis in Coaching.

As a strong believer in continuing to learn, Dwayne has also taken classes at East Stroudsburg University toward a Masters Degree in Sports Management. He can add author to his list of accomplishments, having created a chapter in the upcoming book The Soul of Success with Jack Canfield, renowned for the Chicken Soup series. To get to the point where he is now, Dwayne has always been thankful for the support of his father, a man who always believed in his mission and saw the need for what it was that Dwayne envisioned. During his free time, Dwayne is an avid motorcyclist who enjoys viewing the amazing landscapes and finding good restaurants to enjoy that are off the beaten path. He also takes advantage of opportunities to travel and experience many other cities while attending fitness seminars and giving presentations about the industry he is so passionate about.

Great educational interview. A lot of good points made and taken. I have been a fitness fan for over 10 years but started learning about HIT from Dwayne Wimmer only over 2 wks ago through his book recommendations and online videos and pushed myself above my comfort zone and even in such short time of 2 weeks I have already been able to cut my training time around 45 minutes per week and still feeling strong and fit since I am getting more of my time at the gym.
