I was someone who hated everything about myself. Someone that many times wished life would just come to an end. I learned that you can't run. You must fight, stay strong and never give up on yourself. Right now, I am someone who has learned to love myself. Someone who is willing to stand tall even when all the rocks have fallen. Someone who is passionate on making other people's goals become reality.
I am the Peak Physique Team Leader. I am also a Boot Camp Instructor. Some might call me crazy, the one that will not let you get lazy, and will make sure you live up to your fullest potential. I will hold you accountable 24 hours per day, and not let you quit or give up on yourself, relentlessly like the pit-bull on our logo. It is all because I want you to succeed, just as much, or even more than you do, and I will die making sure you get there.

Maude Lynch - Administrative Assistant (Nanuet and Suffern)
I have been working in the fitness field since 1989, when I started working with my father and my family, who owned Diplomat Health & Swim club for 43 years recently closing in July 2018. I have an extensive background in Club management and group fitness instruction, teaching many different types of classes including aquatic, teaching people from teens into their 90’s, all fitness levels, special considerations and needs, since I was 21 years old and I’m 49 now. I have been living in Rockland County mostly my whole life, I’m married with a 13 year daughter and 15 yr old son (8th and 9th grade)that keep me busy with sports and school.
I like working at Peak because it’s family owned by Steve and Eva. They are great role models. It’s so awesome to see their kids running around and the family fitness bond that they share. I admire their passion for a healthy lifestyle and how they teach and guide every person they encounter. They always share their knowledge of fitness and nutrition with others to live a better life by holding yourself accountable and knowing we all have the power to achieve our goals. I’m surrounded by coaches and staff - many being former members and “home grown”. They promote positivity, leadership, teamwork, love, friendship and pure awesomeness to their members and all of the peak staff. Each and every coach has their own personal style, different backgrounds, personalities and great confidence levels, and it’s so great to have such a well-rounded team here! It is also great seeing the amazing results on the members and their weight loss from the workouts and healthy eating. It’s a fun atmosphere with music, energy & enthusiasm!
Daisy Morocho - Administrative Assistant (Nanuet)
I am a mother of an amazing 7 month old baby boy named Xavier. I am engaged to my best friend of 6 years, planning to wed in 2020. I am a part of this enormous family who I love dearly and I am currently attending RCC to finish up my associates degree in psychology, as well as training to become a CASAC (certified alcohol substance abuse counselor). I am positive, and believe life is a blessing just due to some medical experiences I’ve been through so young. I suffer from seizures and have benign tumors removed from my breasts. In and out from hospital to hospital, people wonder why I am doing what I am doing now. I never limit myself and I don’t like when people try to limit me due to my past, which is why I love fitness because of what you can do with your body is limitless. I’ve been back and forth with weight loss, but I’ve always had a passion for fitness. I used be that girl in high school that worked out with the boys track team because I was the only one that wanted to push further. I did shot put and discus in high school and the work outs were hard. A whole lot of lifting and I loved it! I pushed myself to do extra reps and add on more weight. Thanks to my teammates and my coach, who I will never forget. I’ve found that desire to keep going, not just in fitness but my structure in life, to have that routine, getting that 1 hour work out in, its only 4% of your day. I am a busy person, yes but I am loving what I am doing and just getting that one workout in everyday, my day is set or completed. Have I lost the way? Yes. Now thanks to Peak, I’ve found that way again and I’m going to be that girl in high school again that could squat a 220lbs and leg press 280lbs. Maybe even more.
I am a huge family person and what I love about Peak is we do not look at members as just members, we look at them as family, encouraging them to come in and complete their goals. Would you like your brother to fall? No! You would pick him right back up and push him toward a positive atmosphere. That’s why I love Peak and that’s why I love my job. I will call those individuals that I know have goals and help them reach them. Everyone who works at Peak Physique feels the exact same way too. It’s such a positive atmosphere here at Peak. I don’t know any other gym that does what we do... Have a Facebook VIP page, free nutritional counseling, a place that promises you with our help you will get to where you want to be. That’s a promise I plan to keep for my family at Peak.
Michelle Blake - Administrative Assistant (Suffern)
I am 32 , originally from upstate ( Sullivan county). My dogs are like my kids, and I have a new puppy at home who is terrorizing everything, but a momma's boy! I have an extensive customer service and office, administrative background. I have worked in sales, and all different offices in different fields, however this is my first time in the fitness world and I am loving it. I got to my biggest unhealthy weight and not happy with myself. I have been through a lot, unhealthy relationships, moves, and overall now I am the happiest, healthiest that I have ever been. Working in fitness is like a dream come true that I never imagined. I am learning more and more everyday and working on my goals, personal development and more. In my position, I am able to talk to new potential clients daily, help people, and save them. I tell them how amazing Peak is.
I love working for Peak Physique because we have an amazing team, who is all so supportive, and encouraging. The energy is always great and every coach has their unique way, but all live by the peak core values. Steve has built a great business and has saved lives, and wants nothing but to help people and push them to the goals we know they could get to. I know from my own personal experience how much this plan works and how much weight that I have lost from it, but also gained so much more confidence, support, family, strength and more. Our leaders are awesome at helping us grow and wanting us to work on our personal development. I love working for Peak and couldn’t be happier with my position and team work. Work isn’t work when you enjoy it and have amazing people and leaders like here at Peak.
Alex Rivera - Coach
I was raised in Rockland county my entire life. I went to high school at St. Joseph Regional High School and SUNY Cortland. Been raised by a single-mother who taught me how to prepare for life, I try to be a role-model to my younger brother to teach him from my knowledge and experiences through my life so far up to this point. I love to watch sports especially basketball, baseball, and football.
Peak Physique is the culture that is created in the gym. I was once a member and when I hit my fitness goal, I wanted to give back, pay it forward, to help others reach their goals. You can get a good sense of camaraderie at Peak once you take a session, which makes the experience at the gym worth going. I love to see members happy and getting to where they want to be, which always puts a smile on my face.
Isaac Pinckney - Coach
Having always been a person that loves to help people, and having been a Sports Coach from youth to Collegiate Student Athletes and mentoring to the youth of today, I found the notion to give back and paying it forward a constant, as someone took the time with me at one point in my life. Giving back is the ultimate reward.
Working at Peak Physique allows me to embrace the opportunity to be the light in a dark place, the key to an unlocked door, the journeyman on a road less traveled, the ray of hope with a touch of motivation and inspiration to those in need. You add all these elements into a core and foundation and the end result proves itself to be an entity within itself, where excellence is achieved. It's achieved because PEAK is the mountain top where, through any pain, and suffering, although temporary, the end reward is fulfilling and lasts a lifetime. A thank you, a smile on a member's face are what I cherish. The smallest impact leads to the greatest transformation. This is why I love what I do and what PEAK means to me.
Dolandre Williams - Coach
I came to Rockland County in 1988 to pursue a degree in Music Education. I attended Nyack College and graduated in 1993 with a Bachelors degree in Music Education. I worked in season at Ramapo School district as a substitute for a short while and then decided to make a career change. I began working with mentally challenged and physically disabled clients and also worked as a Recreation Director in various facilities in the County as well. I always loved to dance and create choreography to music. So a few years ago I instated my own Dance Exercise Company, where I bring exercise music to our senior population in Nursing Homes, Adult Senior Centers, Adult Day Cares and Mental Health Facilities here in Rockland and Abroad.
Working at Peak Physique has been wonderful. It fits in so well with my “day job”. When Steve asked me to be a trainer, I was so honored but at the same time I was reluctant. He encouraged me by reminding me that as a member who lost 75lbs. My influence and inspiration to others have been life changing for many. He said to me the same way that I got great results, I can help others get those same results that I did. And in my heart, I said you know what I need to do this for others and for myself. So, I said yes. My favorite thing about working at peak is that I get to help so many people reach their weight loss goals and become that person they’ve always dreamed to be. I love to help others reach their dream body goal. I love to help them set goals higher than they expect and crush Them. It is so satisfying and brings so much joy, when I see the success they have achieved.
Joe Dunnigan - Coach
I am 22 years old and currently a coach at Peak Physique Training Center as well as a Respite Worker at Rockland Community Services. I am going to school part time to obtain an Associates to be an Occupational Therapy Assistant and hope to obtain the Bachelor's Degree soon after that. During my free time, I love to stay in shape and be active, read novels, play video games, study and prepare for exams, and I love to be around people who help me grow as a person. I love to meet and converse with new people and enjoy sit down conversations.
There are a lot of things I love about working at Peak Physique Training Center. Having the opportunity to start off people's days on a positive and active note is something a lot of people never get the chance to do. Seeing people come into the gym, happy to be there, and then getting a great workout out in, is an extreme joy in my life. Another thing is all of the other coaches constantly make sure that everyone is on their A game. We constantly communicate in positive ways with each other, as well as share ideas and new workouts off of each other. It is a unique work environment like no other.
Jamie Ehrenberg - Coach
I am 21 years old and currently in school full time at Mercy College. I am highly energetic and active. I HATE sitting still! I love talking to people and hearing their stories. Listening to what they’ve overcome inspires me to try harder and be better.
Going to Peak is not going to work for me. I look forward to going. It’s always exciting. The energy in the room and the hard work from the members gives me a major adrenaline rush. The community at Peak cannot be taught, it cannot be copied. We are one of a kind. It’s my second home, where I have made my best of friends and have gotten into the best shape of my life. I am stronger not only physically, but mentally as well. I am a different person; a happier person. I thank Peak for that! If you’re looking for a place where you will develop as a person, and just be happier overall, this is place for you. It’s unlike any place. We know every member. We care for every member. The team is a family. It’s truly a wonderful place to work.
Jazmin-Iris De La Cruz - Coach
I am a fitness fanatic. I am a mother of two, but most importantly- a bodybuilder first. I am finally living my childhood dream of becoming a Coach, getting people moving. My long life dream is to die with joy and great experiences. Despite growing up facing many trials and tribulations, I like to always picture myself a warrior, and a warrior I will be. My favorite quote is “You have strength but where’s your endurance? You have endurance where’s your strength?” I live by this, because I grew up knowing I was strong but didn’t know how much I could take. I knew then that I could take a lot, but still doubted my strength. Now that I’ve been so blessed to live through what I’ve lived through, I always refer it back to my everyday life, and my job as a trainer.
My favorite thing about Peak is the leadership. It is full of such transparency in a family setting. People who lead by example and stay disciplined are constant encouragement. It is an infectious thing. Working in this fast paced environment keeps me sharp witty and open to learning.
Amanda Eckerle - Front Desk
I am a 22-year-old college graduate from Stony Point NY. I enjoy being outdoors doing things like hiking, camping, and just enjoying nature. Animals, meditation/yoga, and rock climbing bring me joy in times of stress; and I think that everyone needs to focus on being happy a little bit more in this busy world. I have had an interesting path personally with health and fitness throughout my life, from having stomach problems that have restricted my diet to having multiple surgeries that left me unable to walk for months. I currently hold a degree in Psychology from the University at Buffalo, but I am now pursuing a second bachelors in Nursing to have a hands-on career in the medical field. I have been through and overcome many things throughout my life so far and I just hope to use my experiences and knowledge to help others.
I love having a job that allows me to help people improve their lives in so many ways. In my time at Peak Physique, I have already seen so many transformations, not only physically but also mentally. The energy and mindset are contagious within our gym, everyone is constantly pushing others around them to keep motivated and succeed in their goals. Many people become more driven and just generally happier and more optimistic in their day to day thinking due to Peak Physique’s atmosphere. Peak Physique has a great team of employees that really push one another and the members to be the best version of themselves every second of every day, which is a very unique quality in a work environment making it one of the most rewarding places I have worked.
Bernadette Chamak - Front Desk
I have three beautiful boys and a great husband. My two youngest boys are sixteen year old twins names Alex and Ben. Alex is a super fast runner. He runs track for his high school and runs marathons out of school. Ben coaches boys basketball for younger kids. My oldest son Josh is a freshman swimmer at SUNY Cortland. My husband and I have been happily married for 25 years. I like to cook and scrapbook. In my past life, I have worked as a manager at countless retail stores but decided to be a stay at home mom when my children were born. After they were old enough to look after themselves, I got a job at a chiropractic and weight loss center. Now, I start a new part of my life working at Peak Physique.
What I love most about working at Peak Physique is the positive energy I receive everyday. The gym is full of people who are excited to loose weight and be a better version of themselves. The entire team at Peak Physique is a family. We listen to each other and help each other out. When I am up front, I am welcoming you not only to the gym but also my Peak home.
Robin Hoey - Front Desk
In addition to being a Front Desk Girl at Peak, I work as a dog walker and I love it!! I’m a single mom to an amazing teenager. I spend my free time working out (usually at Peak), reading, or feeding my Netflix addiction. I love being outside and try to run as much as I can when the weather is nice.
I love working at Peak Physique. It’s such a positive, supportive environment. My coworkers are all rock stars. I love helping the members and seeing everyone transform before my eyes is an amazing experience. Best. Job. Ever.
