"Derek's class has a unique style that is hard but fun at the same time and blends flexibility, strength, cardio and balance. He also guides us through breath holding techniques at the end of class which is something I haven't done much of but is important. It is a worthwhile addition to my training program and is helping me get prepared for the surf season."

"Coming off an injury, I was looking for someone to help me address persistent imbalances and weaknesses in my mobility. My athleticism, body awareness and mobility have improved more in the last 5 months of working with Derek than the 3 prior years of consistent yoga practice. His program is targeted, efficient, and effective at building strength and resilience through the body's entire range of motion. Thanks D!"

"Derek's enthusiasm and sense of humor make training fun. The exercises are dynamic and never boring. His movement based workouts have allowed me to identify problem areas and strengths as well as overcome old injuries. Thanks to the training, I have more mobility and smoother, more controlled movement. I feel stronger and ready for the upcoming surf season!"

"Derek’s attention to the little nuances in my training sessions made all the difference in my performance on the mountain. He’s helped me elevate and improve my overall athleticism so I can continue to charge hard, with confidence and endurance. His approach to movement and strength training has provided me with a solid foundation for many decades of high-level skiing to come."
