Cory, originally from Fort Pierce, FL, moved to Orlando, FL to obtain his Master of Science degree in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of Central Florida. He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator through the NSCA, Westside Barbell Special Strengths certified, and has his Level 1 certification through Precision Nutrition. Both his interests in human performance and athletics led him to begin his career in strength in conditioning in 2016. In 2021, Cory founded Bergman Performance LLC to bring his expertise to people from all disciplines to train optimally and perform at their peak when it matters.

In his past stops, Cory has been very fortunate to work in multiple strength and conditioning settings including pro football, division 1 collegiate, junior college, high school, and tactical. Throughout each stop, he has the pleasure of working with and learning from many renowned strength and conditioning coaches, elite athletes, and experts in biomechanics who contributed to Cory’s coaching philosophy today.

Cory believes in always being a student, constantly wanting to refine his craft and understanding of what holistic human performance looks like. This includes biomechanics, sport performance, nutrition and recovery. Through this belief, he strives to better serve those he coaches so they may conquer whatever life throws at them.
