I first met Corky when I was just 17 years old, and now, at 34, I can say with absolute certainty that he has had a profound impact on my development as an adult. Corky challenged me both physically and mentally, and for that, I am forever grateful. During countless training sessions, he pushed me beyond what I ever thought was possible of myself.

Corky’s work ethic is next to none. He managed to train for and complete an Ironman triathlon while raising three amazing children and running a thriving health and fitness business. I remember him taking midday naps to recharge from the long, challenging days that he endured.

Corky’s skills go far beyond just physical training. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to enduring hardship, pursuing success, and finding spirituality. Corky is the undisputed best choice for anyone seeking to make lasting physical, mental, and spiritual changes.

James Bourke

I reached out to Corky approximately five months ago as I wanted advice on training for an Ironman. He shared his remarkable journey as an Ironman athlete and the demands it takes to maintain a harmonious balance between family and life’s demands. This conversation served as a springboard for us to delve into the essential elements necessary for achieving extraordinary success, and Corky guided me in applying these concepts to my own life.

One notable concept that Corky introduced me to was the idea of a ‘roadmap.’ By embracing this concept, I successfully navigated through my exams, achieving straight A grades. This marked a significant improvement compared to the previous year when I had received mostly C’s and D’s. Moreover, in addition to excelling academically, I managed to complete a marathon while concurrently studying for my exams.

Furthermore, Corky provided invaluable assistance in not only striking a balance between sports, exercise, and academics but also in harnessing the inherent benefits of these activities to cultivate comprehensive mental clarity.
If you are looking to achieve excellence you should seriously consider having someone like Corky in your corner.

My first training session with corky was 7 years ago. seven years later I am still Impacted buy his words of wisdom and ability to challenge me. On a run along the Cowichan River corky says we are going in the water. It was the end of October and I struggled to say the least the water was freezing and I was loosing control as my mind and body started to take over, I glanced over at corky neck deep in the cowichan river eyes closed calm not a sound. He said nothing and in that moment that’s exactly what I needed, It took me some time but I was able to sit down neck deep and regain control of my emotion and breathe. That’s what makes corky such an amazing trainer, Corky has the ability to challenge you in ways you wouldn’t challenge yourself, and knows exactly how to lead you through those challenges. All these years later I have transitioned from a hockey player to a full time firefighter and often think back to this day, when times are tough and I know I need to perform I bring myself back to the memory of how I overcame the cold and pushed through. Thanks for everything Corky!

Tye Berger

I started training with Corky full time when I was in highschool. I always thought I had a good work ethic until I got to Corkys grid iron. That’s what I loved about our early morning grind sessions before school at 5am. Not only did he push me physically but I became familiar with what true hard work was and my mental toughness grew everyday. So many mornings I did not want to get up early and slug it out for an hour and a half but with the right training and mindset that Corky instilled in me, I learned to embrace those days. To this day that was the best shape I’ve ever been in and I’m back grinding with those memories pushing me forward. Hopefully one day soon we can get some more training sessions together. Corky really knows how to push you to your limits and help you achieve more than you think is possible for yourself. If you’re looking to change your physical and mental capabilities then Corky is the one to help you do that!

I have been fortunate enough to know Corky since my childhood days playing sport with his middle child Kahlil. I started training alongside corky prior to my first season of junior hockey. My experience working under corky was next level and his training methods surpassed any I had previously encountered. Corky was an amazing resource and mentor, propelling my performance to the next level both physically and mentally. Through years of dedicated self-education, Corky has meticulously developed his program, tailoring it to individuals and their specific goals. A phenomenal resource to have in you’re corner who always provides a boatload of energy and information that is difficult to find. Corky is an extraordinary mentor, father, and motivator, with a passion that is unparalleled. I owe my current position to him and the invaluable lessons I have learned from this spiritual gangster. If you are serious about leading a healthy lifestyle and achieving wellness, you have come to the right place.

Melanie Robertson

I had the privilege of being coached by Corky during my younger years as a budding athlete, alongside his sons Kahlil and Dredyn. As a developing athlete, Corky’s exceptional leadership, emphasis on teamwork, and pursuit of excellence left a lasting impact on me. Under his guidance, we were introduced to the fundamental aspects of the game, and his coaching played a pivotal role in shaping my athletic journey. Throughout my subsequent years as a high-performance athlete, I have carried with me the invaluable lessons instilled by Corky. His unwavering focus on perseverance, the power of teamwork, and the importance of hard work have been instrumental in my athletic success. It is undeniable that without his motivational coaching during my formative years, I would not have reached the level I have attained in my sport today. Corky’s vast knowledge and his ability to motivate athletes have positively influenced countless individuals in their respective sports. He has consistently pushed athletes to unleash their full potential and strive for greatness. His expertise extends beyond the physical realm, encompassing mental and spiritual growth as well. When seeking guidance, Corky remains the top choice, as he possesses the ability to facilitate transformative changes in all these areas.

Ben Berard

I first started training with Corky back in 2016, and I’m thankful for his lessons on both the physical and mental aspects of training. He taught me that there was a whole other level to how hard I could push myself in the gym through our workouts, and that has changed the way I’ve trained since. His calm, focused, and purposeful approach is something I admire and have tried to emulate both in training and competition. Corky’s workouts always come with some good stories and humor mixed in with the demanding exercises and helpful tips.
