“As one of the more “mature” trainees at CP, I regularly find myself doing deadlifts or squats next to someone less than half my age. Yet, thanks to Eric, Tony and Brian (and the great interns), I am finding myself able to hold my own. Since starting at CP nine months ago, I have seen my deadlift go up by 115 pounds and I have set new personal records on both bench and squat. More importantly, though, I have done all of this while remaining injury and pain free, something I have never been able to do in other training situations.

While CP is a power-lifting gym, it also one of the warmest and most welcoming training environments I have had the privilege of using. The diverse group of trainees (where else can you see Kevin Youkilis working out next to a high school player next to some 48 year old guy?) and the deep expertise of the staff, make it the ideal setting for achieving your own personal bests.”

“When I began training at Cressey Performance my ultimate goal was to “fit into my jeans”. A year and a half later I have not only surpassed that goal, but have also discovered a new found appreciation for weight training. The staff at CP is always positive, energetic, and patient with every one of their clients.”

“CP has been one of the best investments I have made in decades. I had always been an avid exerciser and athlete my whole life, but as I approached 50 years old, I was feeling my age.  Like many women, my body was changing- I was getting fatter and weaker- and I was beginning to experience some chronic pain.  Despite working out 5 days a week, I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. But since starting training at CP, all of this has changed. I am stronger, leaner, have less chronic pain, and most importantly, feel better about myself and the inevitable process of aging. It’s awesome to work out along side young men and women half my age, knowing I can keep up without any problem. It doesn’t matter what your age- you can stay young and healthy as long as you are willing to work hard at it. I’m so glad I have CP to help me keep that commitment to myself.”

“Cressey Performance has changed my life.  I am 34 and have spent years from high school football onward in and out of the gym. Unfortunately much of it was wasted on substandard training programs, inefficient exercises, and poor form. The only thing consistent in my results were muscular imbalances and frequent nagging injuries.

Within three months of seeking out Eric’s coaching, I was stronger than I had been in 10 years. My body fat dropped without a specific focus on cardio and diet. Nagging injuries disappeared. 6 months later, I am that much closer to eliminating muscular imbalances that I have spent a lifetime accumulating. Blood work results from a recent physical had my doctor asking what I was doing to achieve such stellar results. This June it will be a year since I have started working with Cressey Performance – and I fully expect to be in the best shape of my life.

Eric has a knack for delving into an athlete’s physical background, goals, and weaknesses. He assesses, prescribes, and then coaches to success. You are required to bring motivation and a desire to work hard. His positive attitude and enthusiasm are contagious, and the results speak for themselves. Eric, Tony, Brian, and Pete are all true professionals, and together they have created an unparalleled environment for training athletes. I feel lucky to have found Cressey Performance and I consider it the best money I have ever spent on the gym.”

“I have trained with the CP team for almost two years now, and I can honestly say that they are my favorite people to be around and train with. They are well educated in their fields of training, diet and nutrition. I travel over 45 minutes to Hudson every Saturday to get my dose of informed training, humor, and camaraderie. It’s a bit of a drive for me, but I do it because these guys are special. I have never regretted the day I walked into CP and started training. I would encourage any woman out there, at any age, to do the same.”

“Since I began sending my clients to Cressey Performance, I have noticed that my pitchers are having fewer arm problems and are throwing consistently harder.  My hitters have shown better balance and bat speed as well.  They are driving the baseball better than ever before.”

“My hour-long commute is testament to the incredible results I have seen thanks to the staff at Cressey Performance. Over the past two years they have played an integral part in making me into a stronger, more balanced, and confident athlete. I am closer than ever to achieving my goal of being a strong, healthy powerlifter.  My lifts improved by 90 lbs on my bench, 145 lbs on my squat, and 220 lbs on my deadlift.”
