“We were very pleased with the outcomes of the training program Pinnacle provided last year”, says Rob Johnson, Athletic Director at UBC O. “With the progression of our program into the Canada West conference of the CIS we need to continue to train our student athletes with the research-based, leading edge training techniques that Pinnacle can provide.”
“The training at Pinnacle was amazing; having an individual workout program to fit your needs and goals was awesome. When volleyball started again last September, it was the first season in four years that my body wasn’t sore from head to toe after the first week. I feel that just doing regular workouts on my own isn’t enough anymore and Pinnacle provides us with basically the ultimate plan to prepare us for the upcoming season.” added Caitlin Nyhus the captain of the two time national champion Heat women’s volleyball program.
Steve Morrison a third year player on the men’s basketball team agrees with Caitlin adding “Pinnacle doesn't just make sure I continuously work out but that I work on what I need for my specific sport. I don't only feel stronger when I work out with Pinnacle I feel more athletic. Their programs are great because they are always keeping it up-to-date and by making the exercises harder will continually challenge my muscles to adapt to the new workouts.”
