We've got another amazing client to highlight this month who started training with us in 5th grade. Congrats to Brandon DeBerardinis who has been training with Dr. Cook for SIX years now!
Why did you choose to train at Adapt?
"I worked with Coach Cook since his time at the Q a few years ago and have seen him build Adapt from the ground up! He has been absolutely invaluable to my development as an athlete and I wouldn’t be where I am today without him. The facilities here are awesome and offer a variety of different things. There is a turf, perfect for athletes looking to work on their speed, conditioning, and agility. There is the conventional strength training equipment bathroom, shower, pt offices and everything that a franchised gym would have. But, those franchised gyms don’t have that comfortable and “family -like” feel that Adapt does. Everybody is friendly, respectful and just wants to see you succeed. Everything I need and more is at Adapt!"
What goals have you achieved working with Dr. Cook?
"I have always dreamed of playing college lacrosse and that has been the focus of my training with Coach Cook. We have worked to make me faster, stronger, more agile, etc all while working towards that goal. I am now committed to play Division One Lacrosse at Harvard University largely due to the time I have put in with Coach. I have never been the tallest or thickest guy on the field, but I’d be willing to bet I’m one of the strongest pound - for - pound guys out there. So many other athletes train like a bodybuilder but with Coach Cook I train like an athlete which has significantly elevated my level of play and ability to succeed on the field. I have grown in size/muscle mass as well and have become more cut, making me look strong, but more importantly feeling strong!"
Do you have any advice for other members?
"Work hard and everything will work out. Coach Cook and the other trainers/pts know 1000% what they are doing so trust them. Be consistent and trust that every workout is making you better."
