Michael Gebhardt, U.S. Olympic Bronze and Silver Medalist in Windsurfing
Cat was part of my support team as a coach and trainer during my 6th Olympic Campaign. As a 4 time Olympic Medalist, it is awesome to find someone with Cat’s level experience, commitment to excellence, and world class attitude to support me in my training modalities. He is a master martial artist, a very talented RFST expert, a very positive and uplifting guy, and his wife is pretty cool, too. Cat’s continued drive to bringing out the best in athletes will ensure winning results and success in anyone’s physical preparation… and you will be sure to laugh a lot along the way. Thank you Cat!

Catherine Garceaux, 2000 Olympic Bronze Medalist, Canadian Synchronized Swimming
As an Olympic Medalist in the sport of Synchronized Swimming, I can honestly say that I’ve gotten to know most modalities when it comes to flexibility, body work and strengthening. Introduced to RFST, I was blessed to work with Cat and absolutely loved my experience! Cat is dynamic, intuitive and most certainly holistic in his approach to helping his clients achieve a new level of body awareness, strength and flexibility. I would recommend his work to anyone, including high profile athletes of all sports!With RFST, Cat helped me regain vitality from depleted adrenals, heal past overuse injuries while gaining new insights in the psychological domain and having a ton of fun. Yes! His work is that powerful! Thanks Cat! Stay Golden!

Justin Newman, M.S., O.M.D., Medical Director, The Banyan Institutes, LLC
I have been managing chronic injuries from a history of multiple automobile accidents since 1992. Throughout the years, I have employed various modalities such as acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage therapy. When Mr. Fitzgerald introduced me to RST, I felt and observed remarkable improvements in my range of motion during our first session! There was also incredible release in my system. I began moving in a much more balanced and fluid manner. As a physician with 15 years of experience in holistic healthcare, for whom pain management has been a specialty, I will certainly recommend his RST to my own patients and friends.

What people are saying about Meridian Stretching (Resistance Flexibility and Strength Training)

Dara Torres, Nine-time Olympic Medalist (4 Gold)
Without the flexibility training that Bob developed for me, I could have never accomplished the 5 Olympic medals I had won in Sydney. In fact, every athlete that I asked Bob to help with their flexibility also won Olympic Gold Medals. I know that Bob [Cooley]’s program single handedly developed me psychologically in very specific ways. What he has figured out about stretching no one knows yet. The world will give Bob the Gold.

Eric Flaim, Four-time Olympic Speed Skater
After three months of working in the Meridian Flexibility System I was feeling unbelievably strong, fit, and balanced. I do not think that I could have made my fourth Olympic Team without Bob’s help. Thank you Bob [Cooley] for allowing me to feel and perform better than I ever thought possible.

Joni Evans, Senior Vice-President, William Morris Agency
I don’t know what the science or medicine behind Bob Cooley’s amazing method is; nor do I care. What I do know is that in just a few sessions with his Resistance Stretching Technique, I was finally able to do and feel what no amount of exercise, massage or weight training has done in thirty years. For example, I have always had poor posture and have never been able to straighten up comfortably or naturally. Bob taught me that the problem was centered in my too tight hamstrings, not in my shoulders or upper body. And so, with just a few moments of stretching out my hamstrings, I walk completely differently…head high, shoulders back, without any strain. I was one of the editors at Simon and Schuster when Jane Fonda’s first exercise book was published. It started a revolution. But nothing has happened until now. What Bob has created is not a trend, but will change the way the world will exercise forever! This program is a godsend.
