STORIES THAT INSPIRE
“I had been experiencing aches and pains for some time and they seemed to be getting worse as my profession as an Endodontist reinforced poor postural habits and long hours on my feet. I always enjoyed running and being active, but due to the back aches and other pains I had lost momentum, whcih resulted in unwanted weight gain and stress. I never had any real experience strength training but knew I needed to start. Since, I’ve lost 20 pounds and 6.2% body fat, all “without any changes to my diet. I have a lot more energy, I’ve acheived my weight loss goals, have better posture and I can actually do push-ups and bisce training movements correctly now pain free, and feel a ton better."

I cannot recommend Golden State Fitness & Performance enough to reach your personal fitness goals. I have been virtually training with Dave Bolduc since Shelter In Place started in March. Dave has held me accountable, introduced me to a new world of fitness, and has been educating me along the way. Before Shelter in Place occurred, I would go to spin and barre classes about 3-4 times/week. I signed up for GSFP’s online challenge, which then led me to virtual training with Dave 2x/week. Dave assesses your baseline, gets to know the client, understands their current and desired physical states, and incrementally gets you to your goals. I look forward to my sessions with Dave. I encourage anyone who is interested in exploring new options for fitness to get in touch with GSFP. You won’t be disappointed.

After the birth of my second daughter I went back to the standard trendy group classes I had always attended and almost immediately had a knee injury that required surgery. Leading up to and after surgery I really let my health and fitness goals slide and I was eager to get back in shape. With two small children and a growing consulting business I knew I needed to improve my mental and physical health in order to find balance. Along with rehabilitating my knee I have shed pounds, gained muscle and I fit in clothes I haven’t worn in years. Side effects that I did not anticipate are compliments from friends and strangers about my skin and posture.

I’d like to offer up a major SHOUT OUT to Dave Bolduc and his Golden State Fitness and Performance gym 🙌 I love the workouts because they are tailored for me, diverse so that I’m constantly challenged and haven’t gotten bored once! Plus his trainers are knowledgeable, personable and fun.
In a vastly different world right now, he was one of the first to jump on board creating Virtual Training programs changing his company’s tactics to meet the changing needs of his members.
So a heartfelt THANKS! Not just for your dedication to your obvious love of your business, but for your community. My sanity and exercise routine are in balance thanks to you and your staff.

I was looking for a way to decrease my stress, increase my strength and lower my body fat. I found the solution when I joined GSFP. Both my confidence and my discipline have improved. By showing up 3 times a week (for fear of getting a ‘Where the hell are you’ text from Dave B), I have improved my lean muscle mass and lowered my body fat… I have a waist!!! Since working with GSFP
I have lost almost 40lbs and decreased my
body fat by 11.7%.

“I have trained previously with GSFP and loved it, but I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive at first about the virtual sessions. Well, I’m on week 5 now and they are actually fantastic and super convenient! I have been working with Dave in both group and individual sessions, and because he is so perceptive and helpful in explaining everything, the transition to video has been seamless. The quality of training has stayed consistent as well, even with less equipment available. Now there are even fewer excuses not to train! The team at GSFP are doing everything they can to get through this rough COVID patch and still support their members. I am just consistently blown away by the above-and-beyond customer service and the commitment to forming great relationships with their members & community.”

My goal was to climb Mount Shasta (14,000ft to the top). Not ever being exposed to such a brutal climb I knew I had to get stronger physically and mentally if I was going to truly enjoy this experience. I knew I had to improve my overall strength, endurance and core but I didn’t really know how. I am so grateful for the GSFP team. I could literally hear the voices of my trainers as I climbed the mountain. I couldn’t have climbed that beast without all the consistent and diligent work they provided! Thanks for all the positivity and motivation. I crushed it and love my body!
