Apex Performance — Local services in Town of Haverstraw

I rang the bell on Jan 11, 2023 ending my cancer treatment which included a lumpectomy, 16 rounds of chemotherapy, and 33 rounds of radiation… my body went through it… I was exhausted, physically and mentally. My body was the weakest it’s ever been from fighting so hard for me; I couldn’t get up off the floor without assistance and had gained 25 lbs from the steroids. There is also the depression that comes from ending treatment… I know that sounds weird, wouldn’t you be excited to be done with cancer treatment… but the odd reality is that you have just spent a significant amount of time in your life with a group of people, doctors, nurses, other cancer patients and suddenly that’s over and you feel like well…What now?

I knew that I needed to build my strength back and that I would need assistance to do that. I went to Andrew, told him my whole story and what I was looking for and Andrew told me “I’m gonna set you up with Dion. I think he’ll be a great fit for what you need.” A week later, I met Dion and we agreed to start my training on February 13, 2023. We are close to 1 year at Apex and not only have I lost 30lbs pounds, regained my physical strength, and found a different community for myself, but I have also gained an inner strength and self-confidence I did not know I had. That’s because Apex isn’t just a gym, it’s a wonderfully supportive community. There are always people there cheering me on, offering advice, and never judging my abilities. I am very hard on myself, and have felt that I am not as far along as I wish I was but then I looked at my side-by-side from January to now, and I realize exactly how far I’ve come. I would not have done that without Andrew, Dion, and the entire Apex community. Don't walk... RUN to Apex. It is the best decision you'll ever make. It's not just a gym, its a life...

After a few weeks of taking my kids to the Next Gen Performance class, I started working out with one of the trainers, Oscar. Hands down one of the most welcoming, knowledgeable, and encouraging trainers I’ve worked with.

I’ve spent a majority of my life working out in various gyms in the county, but always in a regular gym. Joining a performance gym can be intimidating, but Oscar and the rest of the coaches have shattered any and all fears. The entire gym is incredibly welcoming, all of the coaches, the people there working out, families, etc.

Oscar listened to my goals and has been pushing me to try new things and use new to me equiptment in the gym that I haven’t attempted in other gyms. Having the one on one focus with Oscar has been great to ensure my form is correct with everything we do and helps me get out of my head and lift heavier than I would when I’m on my own. Always encouraging! It’s been great being able to almost turn my brain off and just put the work in because I completely trust what Oscar tells me to do during the sessions knowing he has my goals in mind each time. It feels purposeful every time I’m there.

Oscar has also been incredibly easy to work with for scheduling sessions. As a Mom with a busy work and kid schedule, it’s not always easy to find the hours during the week for myself. Oscar has been so easy to work with around the kids schedule and my work schedule. Amazing communication!

Oscar has also been very helpful making sure my gym sessions without him are productive and rigorous so that I’m not just putting the work in when I’m at apex with him, but also the days I’m flying solo.

Would highly recommend Apex and OSCAR! What a great...

I am what you call a gym girlie that never saw results. After many failed attempts to every social media exercise trend. I decided it was time to get a personal trainer. I reached out to Apex on Instagram and with in mins I was signed up and part of the Apex family. Smoothest gym agreement/transaction ever, I must add. I’ve never used a personal trainer so I was slightly intimidated but the moment I walked into the gym I immediately felt welcomed. Coach Cam was assigned to be my trainer and I am happy he was. We immediately clicked. First few mins of our session we sat down, we went over my goals and a little about my past exercise experience and it was like something clicked, he immediately said “I know how we going to achieve those goals follow me” 🫡. The first couple of sessions we worked on learning all the machines, fixing my form, learning how to breathe correctly and let’s not forget to mention the importance of staying hydrated. It’s been 4 weeks since I started training with Cam and even taking his group classes, I am seeing my gains peeking through. Everyone in Apex from the staff to the members are absolutely amazing and supportive. It’s impossible to be in that gym and not get pumped and feel like you can out bench everyone 🤫 The energy is that comforting. Apex is by far the gym community I was looking for. They will push you to your max, support you and celebrate your wins. They don’t know yet but I ain’t going anywhere, lifetime...
