Testimonials​

"Working out at Cutting Edge gave me the edge I needed to play junior hockey at 16. So it was only right to bring my 8 year old son. Dyke is a genius when it comes to developing speed and strength. It has been great watching my son grow and develop over the last few months, to see him have so much fun while doing it makes it that much better!" - Athanasios S.

"Grandson did over speed last summer and after 3 sessions we could see improvement, going to see about some fitness training when hockey schedule is free enough." - Robert M. 

"Dyke has helped me go from being weak and dependent on my husband to lift and carry things for me to being a strong and self-reliant 75 year old. I also love the friendly atmosphere and camaraderie of the gym." - Susan N.
