MEMBERS OF THE MONTH
Bernie Marvin, Plainfield
Never touched a weight before joining PowerStrength. 16 months later he's benching 200 pounds for reps, training around four kids, two grandkids, and a full concert calendar. His wife joined first. Now their two best-friend couples train alongside them too.
Damon Wilcox, Kentwood
Came in 11 months ago needing a coach, someone to tell him what to do. Now he's stronger, moving better, and has more energy to ref college football.
Ben Meyering, Holland
Followed his wife Tarrah through the door and just kept showing up. This month he accomplished a 425 pound deadlift for 6 reps on the trap bar. Four kids, a full-time job managing, still consistent every single week.
Steve Schimm, Alpine
Unfortunately, Steve watched his dad pass away while living a sedentary life, and he decided that wasn't going to be his story. He hasn't missed a single training session that he's booked this summer. Part of the 5am crew that's already up before most people's alarms go off.
Meegan VanWoerkom, Jenison
Meegan had both ACLs repaired before she started at PowerStrength. Now she's squatting, doing split squats - with zero restrictions, all while running her kids to every practice and game they have. She's brought her whole family in behind her.
Sue Helder, Byron Center
Left hip surgery in November and then months of physical therapy - just to get back to walking normally. Sue could only manage about 30 minutes before pain or fatigue set in. Five months of training at PowerStrength, and she's able to squat, get down and up off the floor without a second thought, and she's already back on the golf course twice a week!
