Testimonial – Jennifer, Avid Runner and Magazine Editor
After working out consistently for years, my fitness level had stagnated, and I was frustrated. I had strength trained for about 16 years – spending hours that I didn’t have to spare at the gym, never knowing where my limits were, never seeing results, and always dreading the experience.
Training at Vertex is completely different. The sessions are extremely intense, focused, productive and efficient. It is training with integrity. I feel like I can reclaim hours of my life because I’m not wasting them attempting to strength train unproductively on my own.
Each of the trainers is highly attentive, knowledgeable, and thoroughly understands the way the body works and how to push you to your edge- without injury. They can help you interpret your effort and pain, and give you the courage to go further. They suggest microscopic tweaks to your movements that ultimately make the difference between form and flab.
I’m a runner -I have run in 16 marathons and ultras and run 35-40 miles per week, and have a 3:18 PR (personal record). I have benefited from the strength training program at Vertex. Feeling stronger has improved my quality of life – the way I feel when I’m running, the way my clothes fit, the way I feel when I wake up in the morning, how well I sleep, and how motivated I am to keep pushing, and carving out a better version of myself.
