TESTIMONIALS
These are just a few of our client/athletes we've helped over the years.
PROGRESSIVE MARTIAL ARTS, VENTURA, CA
Warrior Spirit Training recently visited Progressive Martial Arts in Ventura California. Coach Demlein gave a two day seminar on Warrior Mindset and Strength and Conditioning as it related to Mixed Martial Arts. He spoke about how to use a warrior's mindset in day to day life as well as in unavoidable violent encounters. Coach Demlein also spoke about how to become strong and powerful, reviewed some basic multi-joint lifts and discussed how to find a Strength & Conditioning coach to meet your goals. Coach Demlein also went over some critical lifesaving skills should any of the PMA members find themselves or their loved ones critically injured in a violent encounter.
"Having the expert coaching of Coach Demlein during the weekend retreated allowed my students to absorb some of the benefits of his amazing career in law enforcement. I cannot say enough to express our gratitude for his experience. I personally saw just how much my students benefited from the lessons he created for them." -Coach Ben Clancy, co-founder Progressive Martial Arts and former MMA fighter
ZENECK WRIGHT - COMPETITIVE TEEN POWERLIFTER
Zeneck was interested in becoming bigger and stronger and his dad reached out to WSS&C. After working with Coach for a short period of time Zeneck spoke with his father and decided to try competitive powerlifting. After working with WSS&C for just a year now, Zeneck has now put on over 100lbs on his deadlift, 100lbs on his squat and 50lbs on his bench press. Weighing only 142 lbs, he has totaled over 1,000 lbs in competition, with a 457 lb deadlift, 253lb bench and a 358lb squat! Zeneck has competed three times now in regional powerlifting competitions and medaled, winning 1st place every time.
"Coach Demlein helped me on my journey to become a competitive powerlifter. I've gotten stronger than I ever thought possible. His knowledge, experience and guidance as a coach has allowed me to not only attain my athletic goals but exceed them. I have become stronger, leaner and stayed safe and healthy along the way. I can't wait to see what I can accomplish in the future in powerlifting with Coach Demlein as my coach". - Zeneck Wright
MASTER PATROL OFFICER - MARTIN GARRISON
Coach Demlein of Warrior Spirit Strength and Conditioning has helped me grow as an athlete and recover from a serious work related injury. Over the years Chris has helped me define my goals, adjust my programming and focus on technical development to minimize risk of re-injury. During the time we have worked together I have progressed from general strength training, powerlifting and now weightlifting, he is well equipped to work with all strength sports and functional strength training and fitness. Chris’s approach to strength and fitness is a perfect fit for me as a military veteran and current police officer, highly functional and pragmatic with a focus on goals and results. This approach not only helps me stay physically safer as a police officer, but mentally as well through having a positive activity to focus on. As I’m an older athlete, Chris keeps me focused on sustainable progress rather than short term goals that risk injury. Like any strength athlete, my impulse is to put more and more weight on the bar to achieve PRs. Chris helps me focus on long term goals of being healthy and able to enjoy training for years to come.
