COGO Performance Development: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Craig is one of the best trainers I've worked with. He has helped me with posture, strength, mobility and injuries. He is very knowledgeable about a variety of workouts and adapts excercises to your fitness goals.
Fantastic experience: Craig is an amazing trainer. He adapts workouts to suit my goals and work around my injuries.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic trainer. Consistently pushed me to my limits. Always looked for new and innovative ways of training. Even when I had little niggles and minor injuries, the trainer would actively find ways to work around those or incorporate training to actively heal the injuries. Would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: 5 star service at COGO Performance, there is nowhere else i would go for my training needs. Thanks Franco for your patience, professionalism and guidance.
Thank you my friend, I appreciate the kind words from down under! I'm happy to have made the same impression you and your family made on me. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a smaller intimate place to train, this is the place for you. Franco and Craig know their stuff and will help you achieve your goals, no matter what your fitness level is. I know they have challenged me both at the gym and online at home. I appreciate the small group training, where they help you with your technique then keep an eye on you as you train independently. Thank you for helping me on my wellness journey!
Abigail, we love training you and watching you improve through your health and wellness journey. Thank you for letting us be a part of it, keep working hard and thank you for your kind words. We will continue to help you improve and be the best version of you; although, it's pretty good already!
Fantastic experience: Franco is an excellent trainer. I've been with him for just about a year now and my understanding of fitness and health has completely shifted. Franco is genuinely passionate when it comes to helping you reach your goals and be the best version of yourself. He makes very personalized plans, factoring in your schedule, your other activities, areas you wanna train etc. I've made lots of progress on his programs and with his guidance. I am a tennis player who also wants to be strong and toned so my programing has catered to practicing explosive movements as well as building muscle. I highly recommend Franco to anyone looking for a trainer who will push them to work hard but also encourage them on their fitness journey.
Thank you Lexi! having a client like yourself makes my job very easy and enjoyable. your programs offer the right amount of challenges but you have very succinct goals to work with which makes it very easy. Keep training hard, you'll be playing tennis well into your twilight years!
Fantastic experience: For the past 7 years, I've relied on Franco's expertise to achieve all of my personal fitness goals. As a girl in her twenties, I've experimented with other online fitness programs marketed to my age group but the results never compare to what I get with Franco. He's an incredible man with amazing energy that loves to connect with people on a personal level, rather than just for fitness. If there's any coach I can count on it's him!
Vasia, it has been a continued pleasure to coach no matter where in the world we connect from. You’re definitely one of the hardest workers I’ve ever had the pleasure to train, constantly challenging me. Whether it was your success in basketball, then working on your splits for a musical to doing incredible at provincials for cross country. Watching constantly pushing yourself, and now in your career path, the sky’s the limit. Thank you for letting me be a part of it.
Fantastic experience: I started working with Franco about 10 years ago at the age of 15. We created that mentor mentee relationship. For us it was more than just the strength training, but also learning how to be respectable young man. Mental resilience was something he incorporated into all of our training sessions, and I can't say enough about how much it has helped me over the past 10 years. Franco tailored my workouts to suit my needs, it wasn't a blanket workout plan but was specific to my position in hockey. Focusing on explosive power and endurance Franco helped me build a foundation which propelled me to playing my final years of hockey for the Royal Military College of Canada as part of USports Canada. Playing other astound Universities such as Queens and McGill, who had players which had been drafted to the NHL. If you want to be challenged physically and mentally I suggest you train with Franco!
Thank you Austin, our time together with my boys and at the end just yourself was an experience I will always cherish as a coach. Young man you made me a better coach, and a better person. Congrats on your graduation and new career in our military, thank you for your service!
Fantastic experience: Franco is an excellent athletic trainer. When I first started seeing him, I had recently injured my back, and was a surgical candidate. Along with my physio therapist, he's rebuilt my strength and mobility to the point where I'm deadlifting over 300 lbs again. His focus on not just strength, but quality of movement and mobility has improved not just my athletic performance (golf), but my general quality of life as well. 5 stars!
Thank you sir! Rick it has been a pleasure watching you improve your movement and your game, but more so having you in the gym training! I look forward to continuing your performance journey together!
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable and professional. Franco surpasses expectations.
Thanks George, always a pleasure and I love that you keep me on my toes with ever changing goals! Keep at it mister.
Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Franco at Cogo Fitness for over 7 years. It started with bootcamps and has now grown to online programming and one on one training. Franco is extremley knowledgable and has experience in many different fitness backgrounds. You are not just a member at this gym, you are part of the fitness family. I highly recommend any form of training with Cogo Fitness, you will not be disappointed!
Thank you Cynthia, you've been an awesome client, always challenging me with new goals! Let's kick butt at Femsport this year, fingers crossed!
Fantastic experience: In my time working with Franco I was not only able to grow to become a bigger, stronger athlete, but a more disciplined one. Through hard work, he helped my brother and I become better athletes, but as well as better people. Franco was a vital part of my preparation for collegiate level rugby in the U.S., and I couldn't have done it without him.
Thank you young man, it has been a pleasure watching you grow up since you were that skinny little 13 year old training in my basement. You have become quite the young man and I see such leadership traits in you. I'm happy to know I was a small part of that; and I'm glad to see you back at the end of school. Take care out there!
Fantastic experience: I started with Franco at Cogo just over 4 years ago, I came to him as part of a rehabilitation and return to fitness program. It is a pleasure to work with a trainer who has a deep and insightful understanding of fitness and performance coaching, he sees it as so much more than a workout. I am continually inspired by the results his masterful programs have helped me to achieve. By far and away the best training I have encounterd over the years.
Thank you sir, it has been a pleasure watching your transformation over the years, and seeing what consistency and adherence to online coaching is really capable of. I look forward to continuing to keep you fit and healthy well into your retirement young man!
Fantastic experience: I always get a great workout and pushed to my limits by COGO! Super happy to have found a trainer to accommodate my personal & physical needs and creates a workout plan that keeps everything working cohesively!
It has been one of my careers pleasure and honoured you chose me as your trainer. I look forward to many more years of helping you however I can. Thank you for the kind words Carissa.
Fantastic experience: I worked with Franco over a span of around four months. In a short amount of time I noticed amazing results in the gym and on the ice. The reason I noticed such great results is because of the personal program that is built for you. After a few simple but important physical tests, he is able to put a program together to help you in the areas you need. Franco’s knowledge and attention to detail is my favourite feature of the program. Little things such as how you use your breath to push through... controlling your breath is something I’ve never been taught before, but it has been very beneficial in my training. Also, his ability to pick up on little things in order to maximize your results and teach you how to be more powerful is extremely helpful. Franco is always there to correct technique to get the most out of your training and is always willing to help you with an exercise. The gym environment is great whether you are booked with other clients or just by yourself. Cogo Performance is always a good place to be.
Thank you for the kind words Jordan, I look forward to seeing you work hard and see where hockey takes you my friend!
Fantastic experience: Great training, programming, and instruction. Coach Gomez offers an awesome online virtual training experience as well! Get in touch with the coach and he can keep you fit and ready train hard for real results when things are back to normal!!
Why thank you Paul! You've been a treat to program for, and seeing your progress has been amazing, thanks again!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Franco for three months now and believe he is one of the most experienced trainers. I’ve seen improvements already lifting progressively heavier weights and pushing myself harder throughout each session and the most important is he ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries. I really recommend Franco to anyone looking to improve their fitness
Thank you Carolina, and I appreciate your hard work!
Fantastic experience: Franco has trained me for two rugby seasons . The thing I appreciated most about Franco is that I he did a functional movement assessment to hone in the areas that suffered from lack of mobility/flexibility. With that knowledge he created a plan just for me. Understanding that I am an amateur athlete (with a Monday to Friday job) he crafted a plan that would work around my personal and professional schedule yet still allow me to achieve my fitness goals. Because of all this I have experienced significant gains in all areas, greater mobility and power. Thanks to Franco I have enjoyed two seasons playing(and competing!) in Alberta's top division of rugby. Thanks Franco!
Thank you for the kind words I hope you're still playing healthy!
Fantastic experience: Great place and Franco was awesome trainer
Thanks Roque, always glad to have you.
Fantastic experience: Franco is a true professional and is always knowledgeable about the way the body works and how each individual can get the most out of his/her training. The classes are great and the advice is always personalized making each and every workout produce results, and at the end of the day, that's what we all want to see, isn't it? I've worked out doing various things my entire life but I have never had the results I've wanted anywhere other than with Franco.
It's been a hot minute, I hope you're still running strong!
Fantastic experience: I was always a hit or miss in regards to getting fit, but once I joined the COGO group I was consistent with my workouts. What made the difference was Franco and the group. Franco is very motivating and inspires you to achieve more because you simply can. The group is also motivating because it's social and people are here to support one another. I want all types of people from beginners to experts to rejuvenate the athlete that lies within all of us, join me and our group. Thank you COGO!
Thank you sir, and I'm happy to keep you healthy for those marathons!
Fantastic experience: I have always been a health conscious person, from high school team sports, to a degree in Kinesiology, to a career in Health Promotion. However, over the years I have struggled with finding a place where I feel comfortable working on my fitness. I don't enjoy going to the gym, running on a treadmill or doing weights on my own. I have grown up as a team player, and enjoy working out as a team. After many years in Calgary bouncing from one gym/bootcamp to another, I discovered COGO Fitness + Performance. I started out on a month Groupon and quickly realized that I was there to stay! I love the variety of classes and workouts that are planned for us each week and eagerly look forward to attending the sessions (and feel let down when I have to miss the odd class). I feel like I have progressed a lot over the years and have become stronger with each passing week. Franco makes the classes so you can work at your own pace/ability, but he is constantly challenging us to work hard and to challenge ourselves. I highly recommend COGO Fitness + Performance to anyone who loves to workout as a group, who struggles to get started and stay motivated..because once you start COGO, you won't want to stop! I am a COGO member for life!
Thanks buddy, I hope you found a great trainer in Chicago! We miss you...
Fantastic experience: During the past 3+ years I've been a member with COGO Fitness, I've completely changed my lifestyle. Because of Franco's commitment to fitness and his clients, I've learned to not only enjoy my workouts, I now find them a necessary part of my lifestyle and routine. This is also reflective in Mr. Gomez' strong following of fellow bootcampers. We have most definitely become a Bootcamp family!
Thank you for the kind words young lady, I hope you're staying fit still!
Fantastic experience: Great classes. Great motivator. Not for the week. You will become a better and healthier you. I did and I am still getting better every week. If you are ready to turn your life and health around then come see Franco. He'll make you work harder than ever before but it will be so worth it when you look at yourself in 3 months.
Sorry I missed the opportunity to comment but i definitely was not as tech savvy back in these days! Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad I was able to make an impact in your life's health.
Fantastic experience: Changed my life! There's definitely a method to Franco's madness and it's very obvious he's a very educated trainer so I trust him and his techniques. My Karate practice has improved so much plus I'm down 2 pant sizes!!! The biggest thing that has changed for me is that my office work related RSI hasn't come back since I started training at COGO. Thanks Franco!!!
Thank you Nat! You are such an excellent pupil and learn so fast, I appreciate you very much!
