Derak's training and bodywork provide miraculous results. I've worked with several trainers, physical therapists, and massage therapists to heal old dance-related injuries in my back, hips, hamstring, and foot. However, these issues remained chronic — until I started working with Derak. Though admittedly, I was skeptical of the training (the exercises he teaches are unlike anything you have ever seen), the results have positively shocked me. After diligently performing the sets every day, I've witnessed major changes in my body. My chronic pain has disappeared. I'm as limber as I was a decade ago. I feel a freedom in movement, whether in dance, yoga, Pilates, or simply walking, that I have not felt since I was in college. I'm a huge believer in his program and have no doubt he can help anyone feel spritely!

Derak Glover is an amazing trainer who combines scientific knowledge with unending instantaneous creativity. Just the other day my GP (General Practitioner) told me what was causing my back problems. When I told Derak, he immediately came up with exercises — and that was the end of the problem. Personally, I hate to exercise — if I didn’t have to, I wouldn’t. But I love working with Derak and look forward to each session. I had a serious leg injury several years ago and since working with Derak, I have no difficulties walking. He’s not only gifted at what he does, but he is also serious about researching and designing individual programs for his clients. There is no one-size-fits-all philosophy. I feel so lucky to have him in my life!

Just a few years ago, I was in pain when simply walking on most days, despite being a relatively healthy and athletic 36-year old. After years of seeing multiple doctors, therapists, and practitioners of all stripes, I hired Derak as my trainer. I was mostly hoping to build up strength and figured his background in FMR would be a bonus, but I had no idea his treatment and strength training program would be the key to my being able to not only get fit but play soccer regularly without pain. Derak is patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about helping his clients be as functional, strong, and healthy as they can be.

If there were anything someone could do too slow down the aging process, it would be training with Derak. In the eight years, I have been training with Derak, I have lost my creaking limbs and regained energy. Derak is incredibly alert and adapts training to each person strengths and desires. I emerge from sessions energized and rarely sore. I only wish I would have begun working with him years earlier.
