CFL Veteran (15 years) - Grey Cup Champion

"Fifteen years slugging it out in the trenches on the gridiron is not for the faint of heart. Playing on 5 different teams in 270 games, including 3 Grey Cups did not come easy. I however: was extremely fortunate to have had the guidance and knowledge of Brad Norris, founder of Power Tek Fitness, to help me compete in the toughest sport there is, professional football. Cutting edge strength and conditioning programs allowed me to compete at the highest level against the best in the country until the age of 39. The combination of speed, strength, agility, endurance, explosiveness, power and quickness I was able to attain through years of training and 1000s of hours in the gym, at the track and on the field was the key to my success. There is no doubt that without the expertise, support and genuine care that Brad provides to his athletes, that I would never have realized my dream of playing pro football. Now retired from football, I still rely on the people at Power Tek Fitness to help keep me healthy and strong well into my 40s."

Chad Brandimore
Fort Worth Brahmas / European Hockey League

"I played professional hockey in Europe and the United States for 13 years. I am certain that without the expertise of Brad and his team at Power Tek, I would not have been able to achieve my goal of playing professional hockey. Not only did the training and nutritional advice benefit my performance as a hockey player, but more importantly, it helped me excel and stay injury free throughout my entire career. My playing career has finished and I continue to use Power Tek and Myo Armour to help me live a strong, healthy, and balanced lifestyle. Thanks to the knowledge and dedication of Brad and his staff, I feel as good today as I did when I was 25. Brad and his team at Power Tek made my goals become reality and continue to help me enjoy every day with strength and confidence!"

Carol Heard
Bodybuilder

"I have been training with Power Tek Fitness under Brad's tutelage for three years now. Although I have always made fitness a part of my life, I have found the functional training offered by Power Tek has increased both my strength and my endurance. The personal assessments Brad conducts reveal my weak areas which he then addresses by incorporating appropriate exercises into my training program. I recently had corrective surgery on my right shoulder and with Brad's training / treatment expertise, along with regular chiropractic care, my recovery time was greatly reduced and I was fully functional in record time. I would recommend Power Tek Fitness to every level of athlete, young or old, beginner to elite - Brad's vast knowledge and encouragement will not only ensure your success, but will help you exceed your training goals!"

"The weight lifting and dryland training programs at Power Tek Fitness have helped me elevate my game to a new level. I have been training with Brad for ten summers, and working with him has helped me prepare for the upcoming hockey seasons. Through his guidance I have been able to achieve my goals of becoming a stronger and more conditioned athlete. His wealth of knowledge has also helped me to prevent injuries, learn the advantages of taking supplements and discover the benefits of proper nutrition. Each year I have improved thanks to Brad, and this has allowed me to compete at the OHL and CIS level for the Queen's Gaels."

Prior to my start of functional training with Power Tek Fitness, Brad conducted a personal assessment to fully evaluate my status and completely reveal my target areas. This allowed Brad to address these key locations and incorporate the appropriate exercises into my training program. Brad has a unique ability to provide an all-encompassing program to increase strength, stamina and promote a healthy lifestyle. His knowledge and dedication to fitness allows for a progression that keeps you engaged while moving to the next stage of training. Brad's understanding of nutrition coupled with the use of MYO Armour products provides a complete fitness package. I am now stronger and certainly healthier than I have ever been. Whether you are sport specific or training to increase overall fitness, I highly recommend Brad Norris and the Power Tek Team to any athlete. Brad's expertise and encouragement will give you the confidence to see tangible results and achieve true success.

The 3 most dreaded letters in sport: ACL
In 2011 an MRI confirmed what no athlete wants to hear. I had torn my Anterior Cruciate Ligament. I reached out to Power Tek Fitness and its founder Brad Norris to develop both my pre- and post-operative training strategies. He used functional assessments to identify biomechanical impairments which assisted in designing my individual program. Brad’s continuous evaluations during each of my training sessions allowed the program strategy and exercises to be modified up to the minute as my progression advanced. Kinesio taping improved knee tracking. Fascial Stretch and abrasion increased mobility. Acupuncture helped with pain control and swelling. These were all on site treatments used by Brad to accelerate the rehabilitation of my knee. After one year, not only did my injured knee regain its functional strength but I have been able to return to sport at my pre-injury level. I am certain that without Brad’s personal commitment to my rehab, this would not have been realized.
