“Always willing and eager to help out!”

My name is Bruce Bender; my wife and I began working out at Coach Berry's studio just two months ago.  I was in sad shape having spent about 15 years slowly becoming more sedentary. A New Year's resolution and the will to improve led us to the Coach.  He knew exactly what I needed and started me on a personal program tailored for improvement. The first thing that I discovered was the things I … [Read more...]

“Our expectations were surpassed beyond belief!”

Recently, my husband, Jason, and I read a post from NPE by a fellow NPE member who had just visited Coach Berry in San Diego because she was interested in more information about what he does. What she shared of her experience was enough for Jason and I to decide that when we would be traveling to Los Angeles from Buffalo, NY just two weeks later, we would have to set up an appointment to meet with … [Read more...]

“Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you!!!”

Dear Coach Berry, Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you!!!!!!!!! Words are not adequate to express my appreciation for what you have done and are doing with me through the training program. I often recall the many weeks of pre-training coaching. Your visits at work encouraging me to come and try it out helped me take the first step. At that time I felt it would be great, but that I could … [Read more...]

“I am a 70 year old inline speed skater!”

I am a 70 year old inline speed skater, who due to advanced age, could not perform the way I used to not so long ago. A friend of mine, who trains with me (I still compete in some races), convinced me to visit Coach Berry with the promise of “turning back the clock” on me. After the first visit to Coach Berry’s Studio, I was very impressed about the variety and quality of fitness equipment and … [Read more...]

“I enjoyed the time we spent with him and hope that others will too!”

This has been one of the major arguments that I’ve encountered every time I’ve talked to a non-believer about the positive effects that Coach Berry’s program can and will have on you. It’s simple, when was the last time you used the free gym stuff? We are Americans and we put out money where our passion is. Believe me if you put down the cheeseburgers, you can find the cash to invest into your … [Read more...]

We saw Coach Berry's ad and came in one day and somehow were immediately impressed and at ease in his gym. His gym is … [Read more...]

My name is Miriam Wright and I have lived near R.B. Berry for as long as my husband and I have lived on this base.

"You are morbidly obese." Those words from Coach Berry got my attention and started me on a healthier way of living. I am 63, and two years ago the time of that horrible announcement, my daughter gave me a one month membership to Coach Berry as a Christmas gift. What a wonderful gift it was!
