CHAIRMAN, KICKING FOR KIDS WHO CAN'T
"Derek helped to transform not just my body, but my life.  He was a dedicated partner in goal setting, healthy eating, mental focus and physical training.  I have been working with Derek for over three years and he has seen me through a huge metamorphosis.  Not only do I have "guns" and abs...but I have mental clarity, healthy habits and the ability to stay focused on the prize -- and that comes from his attention, concern and passion for helping others succeed with their fitness goals.  He's a phenomenal trainer and enthusiast -- but also an amazing person.  He cares about what you want and partners with you for success."

TAMARA SMITH
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, YWCA
“Derek makes the workout easy and fun. He works you hard and you see results. He's always ready to give you the information and encouragement you need to achieve your goals.”

ZOE BUSH
SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE
"Derek is the consummate tennis instructor and has the unique ability to engage and encourage teenagers.  My daughter, new to tennis, started with Derek as a fourteen-year-old. After one year with Derek, she successfully became a member of the St. John's College High School varsity tennis team. She now shares Derek's love of the game."        

DR. JOAN SEALY

“Derek's the ultimate motivator. I have been working with Derek for over two years; and I know that I'm far better off with him, than without him. I highly recommend him.”

MICHELLE SYNEGAL
PRESIDENT, MANAGEMENT DYNAMICS
“Performance Fitness & Tennis covered it all. His sessions are always challenging. Everything I needed to know about fitness training and tennis were right there.”
