This place is a one-stop shop for all personal training needs. Brian worked with me as I graduated from UNC and got ready for the NFL. I still come back and work with him before I...

Best in NC! 7/24/2006

I read an article that Brian wrote for the Durham-Herald about golf performanec and called him the next day. That was the greatest decision I have made in a long time!! I am 70 years old and love to play at least 3 rounds of golf a week (when the weather is permitting). My swing has been getting shorter and shorter the older I get. Brian helped open my hips up and strengthen my core. I am now playing better then my sons and feel great! He has made me aware of faults in my posture and has helped improve my stance. Best trainer in NC!! Every state needs one of him!! I wish I could carry him around when I play all over the States!! Pros: Knowledge, Staff, Location more

Best training team in the Triangle! 7/24/2006

This place is awesome!!! Brian, if you hadn't been so easy-going and encouraging, I wouldn't even have considered training at all! Meredith, your support, kindness, encouragement and knowledge have helped me to stay consistent and make progress. Both of you lend to the safe, friendly, fun environment at the gym and I honestly looked forward to every workout. Because of what you've done for me I do breathe easier. I also feel great!! And I see new possibilities for my life all the time! I can only hope that Chicago has something as great as ActivEdge! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this to all!! Pros: Excellent staff!!! Safe, friendly, and fun! more

Golf conditioning at its best!! 7/24/2006

I have been working with Brian for the past 2 years and have noticed a tremendous improvement in my golf game! He has helped to develop a consistent swing by keeping me flexibile while making me more powerful and strong throughout. I have been training for years without these kind of results. Prior to seeing him, I was training with someone else that was supposedly helping my game. After only the 3rd visit with Brian, I was already leaps and bounds better than years with my other trainer! I look forward to great years ahead and a possible team title for UNC golf! Pros: Location, Ambience, Clean more

Duke Women's Soccer #1!!!! 5/31/2006

Brian has been helping me ever since I was a scrawny little 8th grader. He has helped me develop my soccer skills and build my speed and agility up to what it is today (which we continue to work at on a daily basis!). After playing locally for CASL Elite and Riverside HS, I chose to go to Duke and have continued to use Brian to help with my development. My ultimate goal is to win a National Championship at Duke and be a team leader my junior and senior years. Brian helps me accomplish that! Pros: Soccer Skills, Location, Atmosphere more

Helping Duke beat UNC and win a National Title! 5/31/2006

Brian has been helping our girls for the past 3 years with excellent results. As the quality of players at Duke has gotten better and better over the last few seasons, Brian has worked hard at getting them ready for the demands of ACC soccer over the summer. His program that blends strength, conditioning, injury prevention, and skills/field work is right on par if not better than our own programs at Duke. I will continue to send our players there and encourage all local talent to give him a try! Pros: Location, Soccer Experience, Soccer Knowledge more

Professional help with knee 5/14/2006

I first sought Brian's advice on my aging knee. Not only did he work with his hands on the soft tissue, but he also provided some great insight and guidance in developing a strengthening program. My knee feels much stronger and I have started to run again! He also put me on a general conditioning program for upper, lower, and core strength. Whenever I am in town, I make a point of getting in there! Pros: Atmosphere, Expertise, Location more

Footwork 5/9/2006

When I sought Brian's services at ActivEdge, I was a senior at Jordan HS and just finished varsity tennis. I needed help getting off the baseline and quicker footwork when reacting to an opponent's shot... we were able to improve all of these and more in less than 6 months. I have since transitioned to tennis at NC State and am continuing to do alot of the same exercises here, as well. I wish more coaches at the high school and private level could see what Brian could do to help with fitness. A MUST!! Pros: Backgound, Location, Clean Gym more

Excellence in Soccer Performance 5/9/2006

We have been using Brian's professional expertise and specialized skill set in developing our soccer athletes at UNC. He work with several of the local NC players year round as well as the players that stay here for the summer sessions. The players that use his services are much more prepared physically for the demands of Division I ACC soccer. I strongly recommend his services for those at the highest level. Pros: Location, Expertise, Dedication more

New and exciting training! 5/4/2006

I have been working out with Brian for over 6 months now and love every minute of it! With 2 kids and a part-time job, this was one of the few things I have done for myself and will NEVER regret it! The challenging, but fun, exercises and nutritional guidance have helped my lose over 20 pounds in 6 months! A MUST for ANY triangle mom! Pros: Fun, Challenging, Easy to schedule with Cons: None! more

Expert personal training with a touch of class! 4/30/2006

I have been searching for years for some direction in my fitness goals. I started running a few months ago and ran into Brian at the Angels Among Us 5K race benefit. I stopped by the gym the next day and was thouroughly impressed! His knowledge and expertise in physical therapy gave me comfort and his facility was immaculate - better than most spas that I have gone to in California and much better than my current gym in Southern Village. I have made the switch and encourage the rest of you to follow!!! Pros: Expertise, Atmosphere, Staff Cons: None!!! more
