A testimonial from Kari Jadin

Client of the Prevea Core Performance Center

I cannot say enough about Dave Berglund, Mark McCartney and Vince Workman at the Core Performance Center (CPC). If you've never been to the CPC or met these men, you are missing out on the opportunity to meet three great professionals and the opportunity to achieve goals you never thought you'd meet again. As you enter the CPC, you feel the energy level rise. Music is playing, Vince is usually singing or dancing, and there is nothing but positive attitudes and encouragement.

Dave Berglund and Kari Jadin

I am the queen of excuses and can get very comfortable with "lazy" pretty easily. One of my many days—feeling frustrated and disgusted with myself—I finally decided enough was enough. I signed up for CPC sessions with a great friend of mine. In the beginning, it was very difficult to overcome the mental and physical obstacles I faced. If you asked Dave, he would probably agree that I did my share of complaining, but he will never let you give up. He encourages you to reach deep inside yourself for just a few more seconds or a couple more repetitions.

There is something about having someone else know how much you weigh, how much body fat you have and what your goals are, that makes you more accountable to yourself for making an effort to improve your life. They are there for you during the ups and downs, but you need to be driven to do things for yourself. They give you the knowledge to help you make healthier choices, but you make the choices. This is a valuable lesson I have learned over the past several months.

As far as what to expect when you start, you already know the answer. What do you want? Are your goals to lose weight or inches, to tone up, to get stronger, faster, to learn to eat healthier? With the guidance of the CPC staff, you can expect to reach your goals. They want to know your goals, so have them ready. They take measurements to better monitor your progress and set up programs specific to you and your goals. The workout sessions are exciting, fun, difficult, and exhausting at times, but never boring, never the same all the time. I really liked that.

Now that I am on my own, I have to admit that I was very afraid of falling back into my bad habits for the first two weeks after completing my sessions. Dave, Mark and Vince have been very supportive and encouraging as I continued to progress inch by inch, pound by pound, toward my goals. Dave continues to make himself available whenever I need him, sometimes just for a mental boost. With their friendship, guidance, and encouragement, Dave, Mark and Vince have helped me lose several inches and pounds. But what I have lost will never compare to what I have gained. I will forever be grateful to them.
