The Turner Method

The Turner Method has been created to allow the individual to establish a clearer connection between the body and mind. The more aware we are of our physical form, the more functional we become. It is not necessarily the program, but the way in which the program is done that creates maximum results. We at The Core Facility will focus on the fundamentals of movement then progressively grow the program to match the individuals desired goals. It is not a gimmick. It is truly the initial step to regaining the designed framework of an extraordinary machine/organism called the human body.

This revolutionary concept is an integrative training method that is considered to be a foundational method. It consists of four major components, BREATH, BALANCE, FLEXION AND FOCUS. Through deliberate and concentrated movements we can develop a more stable and balanced human being. The Initial phase of the method begins with using your own body as resistance. This is done to reacquaint you with how you were meant to move; the development of better spatial awareness, body control and an attractive physique is a byproduct of the method. In the process you will also develop more clarity with neural connections to individual muscle groups, therefore strengthening reactive times and developing a more instinctive body. All of this is stimulated through focus and flexion.

Unlike other training facilities and methods, the removal of all footwear except socks is paramount. It is said "the legs feed the wolves." Well the feet are what feed everything. It is most commonly the weakest and most unstable appendage on the body, yet it is the very thing that keeps us in motion, it is our foundation. Shoes were made to protect from the rigors of the outside world but they have evolved to unwittingly become a crutch that supports a body that was designed to be strengthened through constant challenges. At the core facility we remove the crutches and allow your body to begin stabilizing and strengthening from the bottom up. Ankle flexibility and strength will initially stabilize the knees, the hips and the back. Not only do we strengthen the physical structures of the body, we develop the mental fitness of our clients as well. Our programs challenge the psychological fitness of our clients and increase their ability to make health conscious decisions and extend their physical capabilities, previously limited by their mental state. A healthy lifestyle is not simply the time and energy spent in an exercise facility; it is about the continuation of the practical application of the disciplines that we teach.

Here stands a system based on the understanding that change must be constant for growth to occur. The system is a combined program of dynamic and functional movement's, centered stabilization, nutritional protocols, and overall flexibility. We believe that concentrated movement becomes instinctive when less focus is needed to command a desired effect or response.

Many forms of training are implemented in a structured yet random pattern. This is done to confuse the body so it is forced to adjust and adapt daily. No matter what the Sport, you are GUARANTEED to develop and surpass any previous athletic thresholds. At The Facility we dont make you, we make you better.

An artist views the world as forms...
Perfect details that are combined to create a perfect end result. Shadow and light dance to suggest visualized shapes, and in the human body these forms become shapes that serve a specific purpose. The creative mind believes that the means to an end result must be justifiable and simple with hidden and thoughtful complexity that is lost in the beauty of the end result. There is beauty and purpose in every thought, to create something special... one must have patience, vision and an eye for detail and balance.

Mike Robinson - NFL San Fransisco 49er #24

Our Founder

In a very humble section of Kingston, Jamaica, Kevin Turner was born. It was realized very early in his life that he possessed exceptional artistic abilities.
Although his community was poor, he found happiness in his surroundings and his creativity. Soon after moving to America at the age of 8, Kevin was recognized by his teachers as a gifted young artist. At school, he was taught separate from other children to better challenge him and feed his need for growth. He spent most of his time studying and drawing the human body, it fascinated him how complex yet simple it was. He also found, as with most Jamaicans, he was a natural born athlete. Kevin discovered a passion for running track as well as played American football. In his senior year, he was one of the pivotal reasons for his teams success in track, and a starter on offense and defense in football. After high school Kevin participated on the football team at East Tennessee State University but found the school environment less than adequate for his growth. He transferred and began running track for George Mason University. It was during this time that he sustained continuous yearly sports related injuries, which sidelined his dream of becoming a professional athlete. Things were further compounded when he was involved in a traumatic car collision and sustained a serious back and neck injury which lasted for 3 years.
Kevin soon came to terms with the fact that at this point his professional dreams were at an end. He began questioning himself to figuring out why so many injuries could happen to him and more importantly, why no one could fix them.

For years Kevin underwent rehabilitation to heal his injuries. He ultimately grew impatient when he was not fully healed. As a perfectionist this was not acceptable. Kevin had an idea, he began looking at the human body from an artistic standpoint. He gradually realized that the methods used in his rehabilitation and strength training, though sound in concept, were flawed in implementation. There were a few components missing. With this initial revelation, the first step to "The Turner Method" was born.

After many years of refining his method by training collegiate and then professional athletes, Kevin moved to Arizona and realized a place where he could teach his foundation to exceptional fitness. The Core Facility was opened in September 2006 where he utilizes "The Turner Method" methodology on both professional athletes and those desiring to redefine and sculpt their bodies. One of the reasons his method is successful, is because he views each person truly as a unique individual, in only the way an artist of his ability can see. He recognizes as he does in his drawings, that the differences that make us uniquely us is what at times causes our problems. He corrects them or works around them so as to take natures design and improve upon its weak points. With the realization that nothing is perfect, he continues to redefine his method daily.“The body is so beautifully complex that to truly understand it will take more lifetimes than I have... but I'm working on it”.

He considers himself a teacher and a student of the body, not a "personal trainer". “We possess the most advanced biomechanical machinery in the world…Our body is magnificent in its beauty, yet we treat it with as much reverence as a used rag.”

If you are able to train with him, you will also come to realize one of the things that all his clients will agree to... Kevin is intensely passionate about what he does; after all, what artist isn't passionate about their work?

"From the perspective of an artist, the unique thing about transforming the body is that it is more challenging than any other creation an artist will produce. The client's mental state is a component separate from your own, yet it must be developed as an extension of you, one mind to another must connect flawlessly with the body in a seem-less manner. Movement must become instinctually reactive at the cellular level with the mere utteranceof a thought. As the sculptor (artist/teacher/trainer), you must work the instrument of anothers mind bringing like understanding and purpose before the desired effects can be reached and manifested in the body. You must first mold the mind with language to allow that instrument to follow your guidance and create a masterpiece for both you and your client/student." Not an easy task...

“I thought for sure I knew it all when it came to working out”

Nicole Harris



Hi everyone, my name is Nicole. May I start by saying that I am 20 years old and have been a gymnast (2004 Olympic contender) for most of my life, you can check out some of the stuff I do by just typing my name: Nicole Harris into YouTube.com

I retired from gymnastics and am looking to put my abilities to work in the entertainment industries. In doing so, I knew I would have to pick up a new workout regimen that didn't include all the painful body pounding and such.

I met Kevin Turner of The Core Facility and was immediately impressed by his enthusiasm, dedication, and knowledge. I have found that personal trainers are very quick to be anything but personal when it comes to your root well-being. Not Kevin! He is so great at showing he cares for his clients. His interest in me and all the others I trained with was remarkable.

The neatest part of Kevin's profession is the method he came up with himself! Here is an excerpt from thecorefacility.com, "We have designed a program that is not meant to compete, but to educate and establish a foundation for all fitness regimens. The TURNER Method has been created to allow the individual to establish a clearer connection between the body and mind."

The introduction page goes on to state, "The goal is to be able to control single fibers of muscle or groups of muscle independently of one another, so as to create a combined strength greater as a whole. The training is focused and unlike any other, it is comprehensive and complete. You will learn the essentials of weight training and how to truly benefit from your workouts and develop a leaner and stronger you."

I may be a first class witness to this. As you can imagine, I have been on a search for a challenge, something that would spark my love for exercise again. I thought for sure I knew it all when it came to working out, since I had been doing it all my life. However, just beginning my workouts with Kevin and the staff at The Core Facility has opened my mind up to all the possible functions exercise really can do besides make you strong.

If you are near this area or ever coming to town for a trip, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving the greatest program I have yet to see and try. It will give you incredible knowledge you can take away and train with on your own for the rest of your life!

“Thank you for the training and thanks from the bottom of my heart”

Love Rosales and Rose



Words cannot express how much you have done for me. Your persistence and dedication in training me, surpass any other trainer I have ever had. I owe you my life and that is the truth. You know that I came to you a few days after my operation ... correction, the operation I almost had but did not because the poor doctor couldn't operate for fear I would not survive.

Finding you out of the entire Internet was the hand of God! Kevin, with your training, yelling, screaming and that Indian wave dance you do (p.s. we never got rain) and teaching me a new way of eating (I know it’s not a diet) I have lost over 50 lbs. My doctor said I no longer have sugar diabetes and will now take tests to get off high blood pressure pills and cholesterol pills as well. I forgot, I lost that weight in only 3and one-half months. Boy you're good.

There are so many people out there who need a Kevin! You know I stayed longer just for you to train me. I begged my husband and of course he won, I must go home. Most of all I will miss your smile and the yelling at me, which made me, push myself further and also I made a good friend. Thank you for the training and thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Love Rosales and Rose

“I am proud to call Kevin my trainer, but I am lucky to call him my friend”

Sincerely,
Krystie



In my opinion the most significant word in the English dictionary is the word loyal. According to the Merriam-Webster’s dictionary the word is defined as, faithful to a cause, ideal, custom, institution, or product. The importance of this word in our daily lives lies in our ability to recognize loyalty and loyal individuals in all areas of our life. I can say with extreme conviction that Kevin Turner of The Core Facility truly exemplifies the meaning of loyalty in both his personal and professional life. I have been both a friend and a client of Kevin for almost five years. I first met him when I was 17 years old with hopes of becoming Miss Arizona Teen USA. I lost the pageant but through the support and encouragement of Kevin Turner I gained far more than I ever expected to. The unique quality about Kevin’s training is that he recognizes the importance of an “inner” transformation as well as a “physical” one. He tests your mental and physical abilities and pushes you to limits beyond comprehension. His training is designed to give his clients a new perspective on how to live their lives healthy and happily.
Through his workout and food regimen Kevin provides his clients with all of the necessary tools to make drastic changes in their lives. The quality of training that a client would receive from a corporate gym trainer is incomparable to what Kevin Turner presents his clients, and is what I mentioned earlier, loyalty. First and foremost Kevin is loyal to himself and his belief in his training abilities. He has complete confidence in the programs he provides for his clients and undoubtedly promises permanent results in a clients’ “inner” and “outer” selves, so long as the client is fully dedicated to the program. With that said, I can also say that Kevin is completely loyal to his clients. If a person is lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Kevin he will give them nothing less than 100% of himself, but he does expect 100% in return.
Commitment and hard work from clients is not an expectation it is a requirement. Workouts will always be mentally and physically challenging. At The Core Facility easy days are wasted days. Expect to work. Although workout sessions will be difficult Kevin will never present you with a task that is beyond your physical capabilities. If something appears to be too difficult to be done think again, because it a mental challenge not a physical one.
Kevin Turner will give you the results you want. He will be there pushing, encouraging, and helping you through all of the challenges you will face but the reward is well worth the sacrifice. The attention you will receive and the results you will earn can all be attributed to the one quality Kevin exemplifies most, loyalty. I am proud to call Kevin my trainer, but I am lucky to call him my friend. You wont be disappointed!

Sincerely,
Krystie

“Kevin we owe you the world, He did it all with your help!”

Marilee Terrell



I brought Kevin a very blessed, athletic young man in the Fall of 2006, we left Kevin in Spring 2009 with a full ride athletic/academic scholarship to Stanford University.

I am writing this to THANK YOU for all that you have given Drew to help him accomplish his goals. He has always been very athletic, extremely competitive and honestly...too smart for his own good. But since meeting you and becoming a die hard Core Facility believer he has broadened mentally and physically in all areas of his life. Drew is a responsible, respectful young man and I believe that your influence and guidance has helped him in ways we will never be able to repay. You are phenomenal guiding force for any athlete who strives for perfection. The workouts were not only a physical accomplishment but quickly became a mental challenge that only the best athletes can endure and thrive from. No training he will ever encounter at the next level or above could do for him what his time at the Core Facility has done.

Drew's senior year started and ended with a shower of accolades and awards. Here are just a few.

o 2008: Preseason All Arizona Team WR by Phoenix Metro Football Magazine.
o Preseason All State WR by 24-7 Football.com.
o Preseason All Arizona by Max Preps.com.
o First Team All Fiesta 5A Region WR (unanimous).
o First Team 5A Arizona All State Team at WR by the Arizona Republic .
o First Team All Arizona 5A Team WR by Arizona Football Coaches Association/ Tucson Citizen.
o First Team WR on the All Arizona “Super Team” by the Arizona Football Coaches Association/ Arizona Republic .
o All Arizona Team All Purpose Back by Arizona Preps Magazine.
o Prep Football Report All West Region WR.
o Prepstar All American Team WR.
o Superprep All American Team WR.

Drew had obtained 9 full ride scholarships by the beginning of his senior year; ASU, Stanford, Washington State, UTEP, Air Force, Vanderbuilt, Wake Forest, Wyoming and Northwestern. He was still being scouted by USC, Cal, UCLA, UofA, Washington, Notre Dame, Boston College, Princeton, Harvard and Yale just to name a few. Drew committed early in the season to Stanford University and will move there this summer.

Kevin we owe you the world, He did it all with your help!

“What he is doing is revolutionary and in my opinion will become the future of athletic training”

Drew Arnold



As a former college athlete for five years now an up and coming professional basketball player, I have seen and done many variations of what one calls “working out”. By working out I mean all aspects of athletic ability, such as muscle strength and gain, quickness, plyometrics, cardio, speed, agility, balance or any other words you can use to describe it. After training with Coach Turner for the past three months, I feel like the last 5 years before that I was blind and not getting or reaching anywhere near my full potential as an athlete.

Coach Turner‘s training techniques are much more than just lifting weights or working out in the gym. He teaches you how to use your body in ways you never thought possible. Ways to make the simplest workouts excruciatingly painful because of your technique. Many trainers out there are all about bulking up and lifting as much weight as possible to determine your level of strength. What this does is end up hurting many athletes in the end because they may be lifting heavy weight, but they are not doing it the correct way. I was shocked at how heavy a 5 pound dumbbell could feel when I was lifting it using Coach Turner’s methods. You push yourself on how much you can lift, and how much pain you can tolerate to get the results you want. With Coach Turner, you only get out of it what you put in, and he accepts nothing but the best from all of his clients.

Another great thing about this training is that not only have I seem tremendous gains in strength, size, balance, speed and quickness, but the whole time it was been injury preventative. Many of the exercises we do force you to not only strengthen the muscles you are targeting, but also the tendons, ligaments so that you make that joint that much stronger. So you really are getting two benefits out of one exercise. When I first started at the Core Facility, I had very weak ankles and would not even play basketball without wearing some sort of ankle protection. In three months my ankle stability has increase so much that I don’t even think about them anymore and do not need to wear braces because they are that strong on their own.

I honestly feel that if I had been training using Coach Turner’s methods for the last five years, I would be at a level that I can’t even imagine. I would be better than everyone else out there. Not only because of the great athletic benefits, but because training at the Core makes you mentally strong. You can’t train there without having a great focus and ability to constantly tolerate pain and toughness. As I have said to Coach before, working out there is mentally exhausting because of the constant stress and pain you are putting your body through. In the end it is well worth it. Another great thing about his teachings are that they are something that you can never forget. Once you have learned to train the way he teaches, any other way or working out seems like a waste of time because you know there is a better way of doing it.

I would highly recommend training with Coach Turner over anybody else out there right now. What he is doing is revolutionary and in my opinion will become the future of athletic training. I have benefited from him greatly, and I cannot wait to start training with him when I return from Japan to further push myself to new limits. Thank you.

Sincerely, Drew Arnold

The Facility Foundation

THE CORE FACILITY and THE FACILITY FOUNDATION would like to invite you to participate in the launch of a dynamic new program designed specially for youth athletes. The Future Program is designed to create a different youth athlete: Stronger, faster, more agile and smarter – with an emphasis on the importance of sound scholastics. We have developed a revolutionary program that incorporates a full system of individualized training and continuous care to strengthen, nourish, repair and enhance growth mentally and physically.

We are committed to the success of our youth. The next generation of athletes will be a throwback to the times when integrity, respect and appreciation for the game and the community was paramount. These are some of the essential components to the program

Four main components of our program will be:

STRENGTHEN

An athlete’s strength is of paramount concern especially at such early ages. To create a more balanced and therefore structurally sound athletic frame, we have developed a method of strength training that is considered a foundational method. The training consists of many modalities that strengthen muscle while simultaneously strengthening connective tissues, which are the main contributors to career ending injuries. The system is called “The TURNER Method”, it consists of four major components BREATH, BALANCE, FLEXION, and FOCUS.

We will incorporate continuous testing to ensure individual performance goals and objectives.

TESTING PROGRESS FOR PHYSICAL GROWTH AND DYNAMIC MOVEMENT

· Set up of testing program that precisely measures the progress of all athletes.
· Acu-track timing for precise times.
· Vertical measurements
· Broad jump
· Bench press
· Flexibility in joints, range of motion
· Body dimensions
· Weight
· BMI
· Shuttle
· Agility

NOURISH

A naturopathic Doctor will evaluate all students and assess their health so as to best provide the proper nutritional advice. We all have different nutritional needs and must fulfill them in order to manage our health. A Chef will provide 2 meals plus a replacement shake daily. Education and guidance on what to eat while on the road or at home or school will be given regularly.

Supplements are physician grade and will be provided to maximize nutritional absorption.[meals, supplements]

REPAIR

The benefits to stretching are innumerable. One of the many things Stretching will do is maximize flexibility, which leads to fewer injuries, and a dynamic framework that is stronger and durable. Stretching is considered a necessity in all sports and there are many ways in which to accomplish it. We provide a variety of modalities from dynamic stretches, to static, to assisted stretching.

Massage [stretch, massage, etc.]

ENHANCE GROWTH

Education is paramount in the development of our program. In recent years, athletes have been looked at in the medias eyes as uneducated and spoiled. We intend on changing that stigma and creating a system that not only educates them on scholastic excellence, but social etiquette and media palpability. No one is perfect, but these are things that are overlooked, and being a public figure requires guidance from an early age.

Tutoring will be available for all students in order to achieve their full potential scholastically. Guidance with testing and choices in school selection will also be available. We strive to have athletic and academic excellence, to be expected as synonymous, when describing our athletes. This is an expectation of our program because we realize that if a child’s dream of being a professional athlete is cut short, they must be flexible and have available skill-sets to become a franchise player in the boardroom.

Support in navigating college and professional recruiting will be available to all who require assistance. We have developed a network to get the best information for the kids, with professional advice from experienced individuals, advising the families whenever it is needed. An on-staff Therapist will be provided for [tutoring, support, advising]

We believe children must have the opportunity for a successful start in education and sports regardless of age, race, gender, family composition, income or community. The Facility Foundation was created to provide the training necessary for children to have the opportunity to excel. With no funding we have had tremendous success with a number of kids who are now in the professional ranks or in college with full scholarships. We would like to expand our success, and believe that with some assistance we can help many more children achieve their goals and change the face of what it means to be an educated athlete. A program that will demand the best in education, life skills, and athletic performance is what we provide. The future is with us, how we shape them is up to us.

Through the years there have been many young athletes who have developed a sense of entitlement and lack the education to deal with success or lack the needed skills to continue successfully in our community after injury. We plan on developing the individual as a whole. With a training regimen that is revolutionary in its own right and a focus on the life skills needed to succeed and deal with daily issues, we plan on preparing them for success in sports and in life. The Facility Foundation provides the selected few, the opportunity to reach their full potential.

The Facility Foundation and several corporate partners plan to utilize a complete program using academic, psychological evaluations, mentoring, nutritional guidance and physical training, to promote an overall healthy development in our youth. Volunteering and community events will be required to develop a sense of responsibility and community.

The Facility believes in the concept that local funding sources have a better appreciation for the youths that are a part of their community. The success of a young athlete that makes it to the professional ranks, gives a sense of pride as a home town success.
