"I really wasn't into training when I first heard about Joe. My friend, Ines Rivero, was working out with him and she convinced me to try him out. I'm a very lazy person and it takes me forever to get myself into the right mood to train. I always seem to find something more important or urgent to do. Now, everything is different! I go to Peak Performance and see Joe 2 or 3 times a week—and I feel great. It's not just about the shape of my body, but it’s also the way it makes me feel. I can now say that I am a stronger and more disciplined person as a result of training. What I like most about training with Joe is the way he trains me. He is calm and quiet. He explains to me exactly how and why we are performing each exercise. Also, what is important for me is that as I travel a lot and it is quite difficult for me to stay in a routine, but he manages to keep me going."

“Growing up in Berlin, Germany, I participated in track and field. I competed in the hurdles, short sprints and the 4 X 100 relay. After suffering a knee injury, I was unable to continue with my training. About a year and a half ago, I began modeling, so it became important for me to regain my fit appearance. Working with Chris Comfort at Peak Performance has allowed me to rebuild my confidence and strength, as well as to achieve my aesthetic goals. Chris uses safe and effective techniques, and he explains the exercises as we go along. Understanding the science and reasoning behind my workouts gives me a better appreciation for the hard work that I put into them. This is great for keeping me motivated and focused. Not only has my business been affected in a positive way, but also I just “feel” better. Working with Chris at Peak Performance has definitely put me on the path to a happier and healthier life."

"I began training with Joe Dowdell at Peak Performance in preparation for the Victoria Secret Runway Show in Cannes, France. Since I was going to be wearing the most revealing of outfits in front of a live audience-not to mention the millions of people watching a live broadcast over the Internet-I wanted to make sure that I was in the best shape possible. I've always enjoyed working out, but I must admit it was quite different training with Joe. His knowledge and understanding of strength training and conditioning really impressed me. Through our combined efforts, I feel that I was able to exceed my expectations. At one point, I was performing 4 to 5 Chin Ups by myself. I would recommend Joe and Peak Performance to anyone who is looking to take their training regimen to another level."

“I began training with Joe Dowdell at Peak Performance in preparation for my photo shoot for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Because of the high profile nature of the Swimsuit Issue, I wanted to make sure that I was in the best shape possible for the shoot. So, at the suggestion of my agency, I met with Joe and we began working together 3 days a week. In addition to our training sessions, he referred me to a nutritionist, which was also a tremendous help in my preparation. By utilizing a combination of strength training, interval training and proper nutrition, I was extremely pleased with my photos for the issue."

Josie Maran, Elite Model Management.

"I have been working out with Joe for about two years. I really like training at Peak Performance because it is smaller and more private than most gyms. Each client is with their own trainer, which makes it so much easier to be focused on the exercises. Also, since I travel frequently, he designed a specific workout program for me for when I'm on the road. Now, when I'm traveling, I can go to the gym and feel more confident that I am performning my program correctly. In fact, he has taught me so well that I'm even teaching my boyfriend how to perform some of his exercises better."

Annie Morton, DNA Model Management.

"My goal was to become a full-fledged Cage Fighter. I had to run, box and study Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu around the clock till I was given the go ahead by my teacher {Renzo Gracie} that I could finally enter the Octagon. It took 4 years to get that call and the one constant in my preparation was my workouts with Joe. Over the last 4 years, he has designed programs that have strengthened my weaknesses and ultimately maximized my strengths. As a result, I am 100 times the athlete that I was four years ago and I owe it all to Joe Dowdell and Peak Performance."
