  • Posterior Pelvic Tilt AKA The Flat Butt

    How many of you out there suffer from a flat butt? Well there is a solid chance it is just as much to do with your pelvis position as it does with the lack of muscle there. Most individuals with this condition have a common ailment of tight hamstrings, tight calves and underactive glutes and erectors. How can we attack this problem and fix it? Well it all starts with getting mobile. First, stop sitting with your legs clutching your chair. That just shortens the hamstrings when done repeatedly without a mobility and posture intervention. Also if you are a runner, cyclist, or have a job where you run around like a chicken with your head cut off then you also likely suffer from the same ....

  • Fitness as a Lifestyle

    Many people today take up fitness for 4 weeks to 8 weeks on average. They always stop when they hit that plateau. What many fail to do is when they hit that plateau is evaluate everything they doing to to help themselves hit that goal. The biggest culprit driving their lack of results is their nutrition. Nutrition is everything when it comes to hitting goals. You can’t workout seven days a week and expect a change if you are eating 4000 crappy calories a day or starving yourself on a 1000 calories a day. Your body needs food! But it needs quality food. Food that is going to be stored as fat or burned up and in matter of minutes and make you feel sluggish. Your body needs protein ....

    Michael has shown dedication to his goal of living a healthy lifestyle, I have seen him make conscious changes to improve the way he feels and looks.

  • June Gladiator of the Month: Caroline Hinrichs

    While I only see her once a week, she gets after it all week long on her own. She has made great strides in changing her lifestyle, increasing her self confidence, improving her conditioning, and getting stronger the weight room. She always has a positive attitude and is ready to get to work when she comes in for a training session. That is why I am proud to honor her as the Gladiator of the Month for June. Before I started training, I easily got tired before the end of a work day and wasn’t comfortable wearing very fitted clothes. I knew I wasn’t eating the healthiest food, but I kept giving into this bad habit. I also felt uncomfortable talking with clients about how ....

  • May Gladiator of the Month: Mary Beth McGraw

    A little background on Mary Beth, she has been training with me for about three months. She always comes in with a positive attitude and a willingness to get after. She is always asking “what’s next?” pushing herself the whole hour. She only comes to me one time a week so the rest of the week she does what I program for her.

Chris Collier

I have co-managed several clients with Cory over the past year and I can't speak highly enough of him. As a sports chiropractor, our fields overlap quite a bit. Cory is a very knowledgeable trainer that is constantly trying to learn and improve. I always feel comfortable that he will do the right thing and not push his clients too far. He not only helps his clients in the gym, but keeps in contact with them outside by sending them pertinent articles and videos that will better help them achieve their goals. He is passionate about what he does and it shows. If you are looking to start a fitness journey, I highly recommend Cory Tullock!

Mitzi Pasch

I have been coming for 7 months and it is the best thing i have done for myself in a long time.  My workout is specific to me and helps build my strength and stamina. I can't wait to go back.  Thank you!

Sam Moretti

You know, I have had a few trainers over the years. While they were good and effective, I have never met one like Cory Tullock. I am an analytical IT person and thus like to understand the why and how things work. Cory explains things in a way that makes sense and gives the why and how to do those things. I am in my mid thirties and was already beginning to accept the aches and pains in my body as a normal part of aging. He informed me about the muscle tightness that happens over time that debilitates people. It's not pleasant, but following his instruction, I have rolled and stretched my way to a confidence in my body I haven't felt in over a decade. Coupled with his expert exercise positioning with nearly every exercise he recommends and proper breathing techniques, I have worked the aches and pains away. It does take work, to be clear, but doing what Cory says will give you youth that you possibly have not experienced in years. Hard work is tough, but it doesn't take long to get rid of the constant regular aches and pains we come to accept as sedentary Americans. If you are done feeling aged, or just want to be better at lifting and being in shape, do yourself a favor, call Cory.
