'Often, the only thing between dreams 
and reality is a lot of pain'

'You think you can do anything if it 
only lasts two minutes? Think again...'

Marcus exclaimed:  'Lee takes your ego down a notch
 and your performance up two'

'Silver Chains in route to higher heights!'

Slave Forman...

'What do Lee Brandon, CSCS and a slave foreman, or Xena have in common? Nothing!  She's stronger,

 bigger heart...
Oh, and she's a blonde!'

Mike Alexandrov, Lee and Marcus Rogan

Special guests Dr. Harry Sneider and wife Sarah came to view what was going on, on the West side gym.   Dr. Sneider shared, "What an inspiration Lee is to us as well as the athletes that she trains!  We saw things that she executed that were highly creative, functional, and very challenging. 

We think she has two medallists in the 2012 Olympics training under her leadership!"
