Power of One Personal Training

How did I get to eat everything I ate in 2011? Matt & Jamie and their biz, Power of One (though it could probably be renamed «Power Of Matt Telling Me What To Do And Power Of Me Pretending Like I Can Do It All).
I started out with Matt and Jamie almost 4 years ago based on a recommandation from my friend Robyn. At the time I was having horrible back pain, and some mornings woke up nearly unable to move. After trying out a chiropractor and deciding it wasn’t for me, I thought, why not try personal training. What I liked right of the bat was the approach. Rather than lifting heavy weights, grunting and sweating my a$$ off, the focus was on moving correctly and training the muscles around the bone to support my body. They incorporate movement prep, or simple movements that teach the body correct leg/​foot/​arm placement, and while the focus of most movements is centered around the core, you’re not going to hear cliché terms here. It’s really about training your body to perform functionally, aaaaaand once I started to get the hang of that, Matt stated to increase the weight and we started to work on other things, like my gut, which performs no function whatsoever. Guess what? Four years later, no pain.
I’ve been through a lot with these guys, they’ve been through a lot with me, and I’ve often thought what my life would be like here without having met these guys. Probably a lot less healthy, a lot less enjoyable and a lot less tasty. Seriously, I’m going to eat an elf’s weight in food this this week, and luckily I have people who understand that and don’t mind seeing me sweat it out.

Who knew that I had to go all the way to Tucson to get my first solid workout of the new year?
Thanks to Corey D for dragging me along for a workout during my recent visit to Tucson. Corey worked out with Matt while I had one on one time with Jamie, the other half of «Power of One.» Needless to say, I had an awesome workout and was really sore (in a good way) for several days after my session.
Jamie gave me 100% of her attention during my time there and listened to my goals and limits to give me just the right workout. Sure, she had me doing some pretty crazy things… (have you ever done a Turkish Get Up?) but some simple things too (lunges, shoulder presses, stretches, etc…).
I kind of wish Jamie /​Power of One were closer to home but now I know where to go for a solid workout on all of my future trips to Tucson.
If you’re looking for results or just a kick in the butt to get going on your own, give these guys a call. Their testimonials speak for themselves… you’ll even see Corey D pictured on the wall of fame!
