Peak Fitness & Rehab

I knew the minute that I walked into Peak Fitness that it was the perfect environment for me to achieve the healthy lifestyle I was seeking. Because I have some physical limitations, Desiree's physical therapy background assured me that I would be trained at the appropriate level for my size and condition. I chose to start with the individual pilates sessions and could not be happier with the progress that I've made so far. Desiree knows exactly what I need. The atmosphere in Peak Fitness is so positive and motivating. I always leave feeling great! Thanks Desiree

I joined Peak Fitness in December of 2017 and have been thrilled with the improvement in my strength and flexibility. I had been injured in an auto accident a few years ago and was hesitant about reinjuring myself. Dave, Desiree and Robin guided me through the next six months with strength training and Pilates. I am now much stronger and can hit the golf ball further than ever before (just a little extra bonus!). They are extremely knowledgeable and I felt completely comfortable with all of the training sessions. I am not living in the area this summer, but I look forward to returning to Peak Fitness in the fall. I can't recommend them enough for someone who wants to become stronger and healthier!

Despite having multiple rounds of physical therapy for my muscular disease and knee replacement, my muscles, especially my legs and hips, remained weak. After spending the day at Disney World and ending up in a wheelchair after only a few hours, I was determined to find a way to change things.I looked for physical fitness trainers online and spoke to a few. None gave me the answers I was looking for. I reluctantly looked up physical therapy, although I didn’t have a lot of confidence this was the answer. I spotted Peak Fitness. I was impressed that they had physical therapy and fitness training in the same house. After speaking to Desiree and hearing what I hoped would be the answer I was looking for, I went in to meet them and sign up.I spoke with Dave, explained what I was looking for and he was positively confident he could make a difference for me. I decided to take a chance and signed up for 3 months. Any reservations I hard were dispelled with my first training class. Dave knew exactly how get my muscles retrained to work properly, then proceeded to make them stronger.Each class improved my ability to go further and longer. The Pilates helped stretch out my muscles and increased my core strength. At the 2 month mark, I went to Kennedy Space Center and lasted 10 hours on my feet, no cane, no wheelchair, just deliciously tired. My endurance has improved so much I still can’t believe it. My muscles hurt less and are so much stronger I no longer need help lifting or doing any of the many chores around the house.Having the combined knowledge of fitness and physical therapy gave me the answers my body needed to get better. I now work out at home 6 days a week and feel better than ever. There is no question that Peak Fitness will work for you. The Peak Fitness team will tailor the program for your needs and you will enjoy success!

I highly recommend Peak Performance & Rehab for anyone who would like to experience the best quality of life possible for their age and physical abilities!! Over a year ago, I had friends who recommended Desiree to me. I had back issues that prohibited me from taking normal exercise classes, and my work in the fitness center on the equipment was limited. I could do very little work on my core without pain, which was what my body really needed. Although I was not over weight, I struggled with knowing how to plan meals so that my diet was balanced and healthy. In January 2016, I sign up for the four week course "Take Down Challenge" that Dave and Desiree offered, and worked under their guidance on meal planning and implementing a regular exercise routine. At the end of the month, I had more energy and felt better than I had in years. The next month I began private Palates lessons with Desiree and that added a whole new dimension to my physical health. I have a strong core, and no longer have back pain. If for any reason I experience any kind of pain, Desiree will work with me to address it , and like magic it disappears. The greatest benefit for me is that almost 18 months later I continue to live in that healthy manner. The changes that I have made were informed, guided and have been long lasting. Thank you Dave and Desiree for the healthy life that I enjoy today! What a gift!

We have worked with several fitness instructors and both Dave and Desiree are among the best. I personally like the wide variety of services offered.

Dave Chalice helped me before knee surgery through strength training and pre-habilitation. I am convinced that is why I am as mobile as I am only two months after a partial knee replacement. Thank you Peak Fitness!

The weight loss challenge was the best decision I have made for my health in a long time; thanks Dave and Desiree.Additionally, Desiree has helped me strengthen my core through Pilates and stretching in a way that has helped me manage sciatic pain and given me more mobility than I have had in the past 5 years.Dave and Desiree Chalice are the fitness and rehab gems of Palm Coast.

Last fall I wanted to try Pilates and Peak Fitness was the only facility with Pilates equipment. As soon as I met and spoke with Desiree I knew this was the place for me. Started with private Pilate workouts and now I'm with a partner. I feel better both physically and mentally. She makes me want to come and workout which for me is huge! Thank you Desiree and Dave for helping me get on track.

I started private Pilates lessons with Desiree as a complete beginner a year ago. What a difference working with a trainer makes! As a physical therapist she knows how to properly train me to avoid my neck, shoulder and knee issues. And she can rehabilitate them when they're sore. In May I developed lower back pain for the first time, after 3 weeks of travel and bad mattresses. Thanks to Desiree and Pilates, I was pain free in a week. Highly recommend that if you are at all interested, call Peak Fitness for a free consultation!

Pilates with Desiree is an ongoing benefit. Her knowledge as a physical therapist enhances the Pilates workout. Also, it is the only equipment based Pilates available in Palm Coast. I have trained with Desiree for years and consider it the cornerstone of my life fitness. In the last six months, I have started training with Dave and have added fifty yards to my drives! What else is there to say: he understands fitness and golf!! He listens to the end goal and stays focused on helping you meet your personal objectives. Both Desiree and Dave care about the long-term fitness and health of their clients. It is true concierge fitness.
