...You read that right- a 24-hour snow skiing race, as in he went and down the mountain at Snowshoe 173 times without stopping....

What makes the story even better, though, is that Adams was able to do this only one year after back and neck pain hindered his ability to walk and would have made it virtually impossible for him ski for so many hours in a row.

Back then, pain from a traffic accident long ago was a recurring problem. That changed one day, when on recommendation from his chiropractor, Adams sought the services of Precision Fitness, which offers conditioning and rehabilitation services in Cornelius and Mooresville. The professionals there helped Adams strengthen his core, which he believed allowed him to finish the ski marathon.

"I really have to give the lions share of the credit to my sponsor Precision Fitness," Adams said. "I know I would not be able to do it without them. I walked (or hobbled) in there about a year ago. I couldn't even work out in the gym anymore because of my back and neck injuries. Now a year later I was able to stay ahead of the 18-year-old kid who was chasing me in the race. That was a great feeling!"

"I want to thank you for the privilege of working with you and your team, Bill, and for the wonderfully "fit and healthy" lifestyle you have all provided me! If it isn't evident, I think you and your team are THE BEST!!"

“My unhealthy habits and lack of exercise had wrecked my body and I was self-conscious of my appearance. Bill and I talked about my goals and what it would take to actually produce the results I was seeking The workouts specifically were designed to help me lose weight and improve core strength, balance and flexibility for a better game of tennis. This workout regime has taken me far beyond my expectations…. Let's get to the good stuff. I have lost 37 lbs. of fat while gaining 14 lbs. of lean muscle.

I was introduced to Precision Fitness a few months after I had spine surgery. My surgeon referred me to Precision Fitness rather than physical therapy because of the multidisciplinary approach that is used at their facilities. I knew upon meeting Bill Scibetta that he had a profound understanding of the human body and its mechanics. Bill specifically recommended Gary Holland for my training and rehabilitation because of his physical training background and his certification in massage. I have worked with Gary for 2 months and have seen measured improvement in my muscle activity, muscle sensation, strength and a decrease in pain and discomfort.

Precision has become the place for me to rehabilitate my back, hip and leg. Acute attention is paid during exercise to my body positioning and potential muscle fatigue in an effort to prevent injury. Gary has taught me a great deal about my physiology and the effects of my movements on my back. To say he is a wealth of knowledge is very accurate.

In addition, my daily nutrition has been assessed and I have received advice about foods that would best support my healing and recovery.

I am extremely satisfied with the trainers at Precision and the progress that I've made.

"Thanks Bill for hiring such a professional staff at Precision Fitness. Entering the Mooresville location and meeting Gary, I could tell he knew exactly what he was talking about. Working out with Craig and Gary produced wonderful results. Lara makes aches, pains and stress go away with massage therapy. If you are planning on doing an Ironman or just want to lose weight and clothing sizes, Precision Fitness would the be the place I highly recommend. They offer the total package in fitness."

"60 year old avid golfer diagnosed with arthritis, underwent major back surgery (fused vertebrae), and felt my golfing days were over. Precision Fitness designed a flexibility, exercise, and strength program that has allowed me to return to the game I love and play even better than I did prior to the physical ailments. I am back to a single digit handicap and in the best shape I have been in years. They have sincerely helped me to a better life style."

"I’ve never been an athletic person and have not enjoyed exercising in the past. But Dave has helped me to see the benefit of strengthening my body so I can perform better in everyday life tasks and play better too. After four months of training with him, I can see vast improvement in my body strength and I am beginning to enjoy exercising because I can do things I never thought I could do."

“I came to Precision Fitness with the intent to correct a back problem that had been nagging me for 30+ years. The professionals at Precision Fitness did just that. My back problem has been 80% corrected, the nagging pain is significantly reduced and I have more “good back days” than “bad back days”. To me that says a lot about Precision Fitness because at 56 I am very active, still playing basketball 2-3 times per week with guys in their 20's, 30's and 40's.

The staff at Precision Fitness fully understand the anatomy and physiology of the back and how one movement relates to another in making things work in concert, and how an imbalance in one area can cause pain and stiffness in an other. The program of developing strong core strength and balance tied into aggressive deep muscle massage is the building block of their efforts. Couple that with their attention to detail, making sure the correct form and function are used when doing exercises, makes the Precision Fitness program a step above other fitness programs.

Precision Fitness is a place to go if one needs rehab. It's a place to go if one wants to enhance athletic ability. It's a place to go if one wants to make a difference in their life, and it's a place to go to keep you at your peak, even if your as old as me.”

“I have been playing golf for 20 years to a 4 handicap. Last year at age 40, I suffered a severe back strain while practicing on the range. I have played the last six months with moderate pain, which forced me to swing at around 70% of my usual swing speed. Fed up with my handicap going up and playing in pain, a good friend and regular golf partner of mine referred me to Bill at Precision Fitness.

After a one-hour detailed evaluation Bill and I went to work at getting me back in shape. After working out 3 days a week for 2 months, I am very impressed with Precision Fitness' attitude towards overall conditioning. We are not only hitting the weights but my program includes core conditioning, balance and flexibility training, nutritional guidance and soft tissue therapy. Precision Fitness' attention to detail, controlled movements and proper technique, has enabled me to not only see great results, but see great results quicker. I now have an acute awareness of my overall health and well-being.

I look forward to working out since I know it is not only drastically helping my golf game, but also helping me to enjoy the game again. After only two months I can honestly say that I am hitting the ball as far as I ever have, and I am having more and more “pain free” rounds of golf. I'm confident I will be playing totally pain free in the very near future, not to mention reducing my handicap.”

“I have been working at Precision Fitness with Dave since January of 2007 and the experience has been terrific for me. Like many women, I have had some issues with my weight and my body image. I have tried many programs and activities but always worried that I was not doing the exercises correctly or worse, that the pain I experienced would get worse and prevent me from exercising. Dave has been terrific. Not only have I gotten tremendously stronger, but I feel like I have learned the correct way to work and condition my muscles. From time to time I have had pain in my knee or another area and Dave will always stop the program and work the muscle until I am able to continue comfortably and build the muscle.

When I first started, I felt like I could barely get through the core strength and balance exercises, today I can squat over 150 pounds. That feels great! While I haven’t yet reached my goal weight, I have learned a tremendous amount and I am confident that if I continue this program along with my cardio program, I will soon achieve my objectives. I feel a lot better and I have more energy to do the things that I want to during the day. Thank you Dave and the entire staff of Precision Fitness for helping me to find the focus I need to get stronger and to work towards my personal goals.”

“I am an older person with a history of knee problems. After a thorough evaluation Bill has given me appropriate exercises that have safely improved my strength, flexibility, endurance, and balance. I have lost weight and feel very fit….Bill is an excellent trainer who gives genuine professional attention to his clients needs.”

“I have been associated with Precision Fitness, for over three years. I was so pleased with the information and results I saw through their programming that I encouraged my entire family, Wife Ann, Bo (11 years old) and Sarah (10 years old) to work with them as well. My children are athletic, but not on a "scholarship track". The training they receive from Precision Fitness day per week has made them more athletic, more active, and more confident. They now ask about the "right food choices" ... not always making them, but at least asking about them! The kids look forward to the personal attention and interaction. It is helping their self-esteem significantly while they are learning about their bodies and how to make them work best for the long haul. It is great time and resources spent in an area that is all too often overlooked.”

My twin daughters are almost 11. They started occasionally training at Precision Fitness when they were 8 so that they would be occupied while I worked out. Three years later, they continue to train regularly at Precision. They beg to work out now. The benefits of their training at Precision Fitness have been immeasurable. Their improved core strength and stability has helped them tremendously, particularly as they compete in NCYSA Classic Soccer. The cross training has benefited them as swimmers and it has enabled them to have the confidence and the coordination to try new sports such as triathlons, cross country, basketball, and flag football. Although we have a family history of weak joints and joint-related injuries, my children are both active in multiple sports and they have been injury free since they began training at Precision Fitness. We owe this to the education and training provided by the qualified staff at Precision Fitness. They have not only motivated and developed my daughters, but they have taught them the basics of injury prevention, the importance of fitness, and the benefits of hard work. I would recommend their services to anyone.

"These guys are the real deal! I've worked with personal trainers in the past but have never achieved the results I've gotten since coming to Precision Fitness. I have not only toned up, but I have gained strength, balance and flexibility and feel great."

“I am older than I've ever been, but I feel better than I ever have! And I owe it all to Precision Fitness!”

"Golf has been an important part of my life since I was a child. After competing at the junior level, I was fortunate to play collegiate golf at Wake Forest University in the early 1980's. After graduating from college and subsequently medical school, I continued to play competitive golf for several years. Although I no longer compete in national tournaments, I still enjoy playing in local club events. Over the past several years, I have lost a considerable amount of flexibility which has resulted in both losses of distance as well as accuracy. Contrary to what many people think, golf is a very physical sport which requires strength, flexibility, and balance. As we age, most of us lose some of our flexibility and strength. With the extreme movements in the golf swing, these physical changes in our bodies can result in both higher scores and chronic pain or discomfort. This summer I began working with Bill Scibetta using the “Play Better Longer” program. Within only a few weeks, I noticed significant improvement in my flexibility as well as strength. I was amazed at how much better I felt physically and how much my game improved. I began hitting the ball as far as I did in college and my handicap dropped from 7 to 3. In addition to my game improving, I have also been able to play without pain in my low back and shoulder. I plan to continue this program which I feel will help me play better golf, longer. By following this program, you too will be able to improve your flexibility, strength and balance which will improve your enjoyment of the game."

"Like many golfers, after years of playing I began to feel the detrimental effects of the golf swing in my lower back. Upon the recommendation from my doctor, I sought the help of Bill Scibetta and the Play Better Longer Program. After seeing and feeling first hand the benefits of the Play Better Longer Program, I whole heartedly recommend this program. It is my job as a PGA teaching professional to correct swing flaws and put my students in position to make better ball contact. Many golfers have physical limitations such as lack of flexibility, poor posture, poor balance or coordination, inadequate physical strength or endurance that make it difficult to fully or permanently correct swing flaws. The Play Better Longer Program removes those physical limitations. By following this program you will find your instruction and practice time much more productive and playing time much more enjoyable. You will not only gain distance, control and consistency, you will just plain feel better."

"I was so impressed with the results that I achieved with the Play Better Longer program that I have encouraged all my golfers follow the program. There is no doubt that fitness and conditioning has become a big part of the competitive golf world. The Play Better Longer is an easy to follow program that has made a big difference in the way I feel and play and it has made a difference in the way my team feels and plays. Give the Play Better Longer Program a try and I'm sure it will make a difference in the way you feel and play."

"I am very impressed with the Play Better Longer Program. Being a Doctor of Chiropractic as well as a member of the 1988 U.S. Olympic Weight Lifting Team I know a bit about strength training and as well as spinal health. Not all workouts are created equal, the workout needs to address the specific goal. Golf is very tough on the back. The Play Better Longer Program takes a very comprehensive and systematic approach to preparing the body for the physical demands of the golf swing. Anyone who wants to play better golf and feel better doing it should follow this program."
