Staying with one fitness instructor for over 3 years says it all. Margaret’s planning, attentiveness to what I want and motivation is what keeps me coming back.

Strata Internal Performance is one of the most welcoming places you will ever have the pleasure of being in. Their professionalism is beyond measure, and their willingness to help you in any situation is astounding. I have been a client of Brandon's for over a year now. His knowledge of the human body and its movements has helped me more than any other practitioner was able to. The solutions he provides are not band aids, they truly help your body to see its way back to optimal health. Before Brandon I was in everyday pain, now as long as I do my do diligence, I am pain free! I am forever grateful! More...

When I first came to Strata I was experiencing significant unwanted sensation (pain) in a couple of areas of my body, predominately my lower back pain. It was presenting like sciatica and was inhibiting not only my workouts but my day to day movement in general to my full capability and desire. I have had the pleasure of working with Taylor with whom I have experienced significant improvements in addressing my functionality and pain. Taylor personally exemplifies the overall Strata experience. His approach and work are professional, knowledgeable, and experienced, with a “Taylor”ed client-centric focus. He is a pleasure to work with. I am extremely pleased with my experience with Strata overall and would recommend them. Thank you Taylor ! More...

Where do I even begin. This gym is amazing is absolutely amazing. The staff and overall environment is positive, encouraging and welcoming. I always felt comfortable walking in and seeing all the trainers and other members. and ultimately, never once did I feel judged on my capabilities or progress by either staff or other members. I loved this place and really do hope I can return in the future. During my three months at Strata, I was pleasured to have been trained by Margaret. I started there with a closed mind and riddled with nerves about working out. I started on this journey to prepare myself for the physical training of the OACP, the police testing. My main concern was my cardio endurance (or lack there of), and how I would be able to increase this so I could actually last more than 30 seconds of running without getting insanely winded. Margaret whipped me into shape faster than I ever thought possible, all without spending countless workout sessions on the treadmill (which I HATE). Focusing on the muscles in my back, legs and abs paired with some intense cardio workouts, not only lead to greater muscular strength, but actually helped increase my endurance in running....without actually running! She took the time to show me how each technique should be done and never hesitated to correct me. This included working on machines as well as free weights. Not once did I feel that we were just repeating the same workouts over and over again, instead she would continuously changing things up each session to ensure that I knew as many different variations as I could. On top of all that, I had injured myself at one point (not gym related) and she did everything she could to make sure we were still getting in a decent workout without me further injuring myself. Not only did she help me improve in the areas I needed, I also learned so much from her, making it easier to work out on my own safely and more effectively than I ever used to. Aside from her extensive knowledge in training, Margaret is genuinely an amazing woman. She is super fun to be with, funny, caring, extremely encouraging, emotionally supportive, I even know first hand that she has a shoulder to cry on when its needed. I could honestly go on on and about her, but it'll do no justice. You're better off going in and experiencing her for yourself! More...

Back pain and bulging discs are not fun.. Knowing that the discs cant be repaired and the pain will stay with you was my challenge. . My personal trainer, Taylor has worked along side me to develop and strengthen the areas around and adjoining my spine to allow me to retrain my back. Pain is still there but to a lesser degree and i have more mobility. I highly recommend Strata Internal Performance. More...

I originally came to Strata with building nagging muscle pain and discomfort in my shoulder and neck, as well as obvious muscle size and strength imbalances as a result of years of repetitive motion (fastball pitching). My initial stop was to a Physiotherapist where I was given the typical band exercises to help alleviate some of the pain associated with my shoulder but, these were clearly not going to help with the muscle imbalances everywhere else. Taylor has been great at listening to my aches and pains, and working with me through various diagnostic movements to narrow in on what I like to call the culprits (sleepy muscles who have been conditioned to let the overworked muscles continue to do all of the work). We started out meeting once a week to assess and apply exercises and eliminate others so as to not aggravate things further. I now see Taylor once a month to check in on my progress and to advance and evolve my workouts as we keep raising the bar on my fitness goals. Taylor is very professional and a great listener, and through very thorough assessments has worked to virtually eliminate my shoulder issues (we'll get there) while strengthening and balancing my body as a whole. I highly recommend Strata Internal Performance to anyone who wants to alleviate their current state of discomfort or to assess the current state of their muscle system as a whole- as you will likely learn something about your body or perhaps the exercises you are currently doing (and maybe shouldn’t be doing!). Although we may only see each other once a month, Taylor makes himself available by phone or email for any questions or concerns in between sessions. The staff at Strata are extremely knowledgeable and professional, and are continually furthering their education at conferences and seminars. Investing in sessions at Strata is investing in your health and well-being for the long-term. Call Strata today! More...

I began working with Brandon at Strata Internal Performance one year go and it has completely transformed my life!! I had suffered for many years with low back pain, knee arthritis, and poor overall strength and balance, and after having tried many chiropractic, osteopathic, acupuncture and massage treatments with no reduction in my symptoms, felt like I would have to give up and learn to live with it. At 60 I was feeling like an 80 year old and was unable to get through more than a few minutes of activity without feeling pain and fatigue. I was missing out on so much that I needed and wanted to do. When I began working with Brandon I knew right away his approach was entirely different from the typical gym and personal training methods I had unsuccessfully experienced in the past. After an in-depth analysis of my symptoms, history, and general lifestyle, he worked out out a personalized and very holistic plan of treatment for me and started off with very gentle, encouraging and realistic exercises that I could do without feeling overwhelmed or causing me discomfort. As my progress continued I was able to do more and more not only in the gym but in the rest of my life as well. Now I am lifting weights, running the treadmill, using all the machines in the gym and increasing the weight and reps on them every month. I can now walk for long periods with no knee pain, my back pain is nearly gone, and I'm able to perform better at my job and daily household tasks with no pain or discomfort. I have also lost 50 pounds, reduced my high blood pressure back to normal levels, and feel 20 years younger with the improved energy I now have. Age is no barrier at Strata and certainly no barrier to Brandon! You will never feel pressured or uncomfortable there, or that your concerns are not paid attention to, as Brandon is a great listener and will always work with you on a solution for any issues you have. He will encourage and inspire you to do well and show you exactly how to do that in the way that works best for you personally. The genuine caring, dedication, knowledge and experience you will find with Brandon and his staff are exceptional. Please don't let age deter you from trying to improve your life because with Brandon you will find an entirely new way to live and feel better than you ever thought you could. It will truly be a life-changing result. More...
