About Cory Bergman
Cory Bergman is the founder of Bergman Performance and a strength and conditioning coach with experience across professional sports, collegiate athletics, and tactical environments.
Originally from Fort Pierce, Florida, Cory moved to Orlando to earn his Master of Science in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of Central Florida. He holds multiple professional certifications, including Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator (TSAC-F) through the NSCA, Westside Barbell Special Strengths certification, and Precision Nutrition Level 1.
Cory began his career in strength and conditioning in 2016, driven by a strong interest in human performance and athletics. In 2021, he founded Bergman Performance LLC to bring high-level coaching principles to individuals across disciplines who want to train intelligently and perform at their best when it matters.
His coaching experience spans professional football, Division I collegiate programs, junior college, high school athletics, and tactical populations. Along the way, Cory has worked with experienced coaches, elite athletes, and professionals in biomechanics and human performance who have helped shape his approach.
Cory believes in remaining a student of the profession and continually refining his understanding of biomechanics, sport performance, nutrition, and recovery to better serve those he coaches.
"After undergoing major back surgery last year, I was unsure if I would ever regain my strength, let alone get into strength training. Cory not only tailored workouts to accommodate my needs but also pushed me to challenge my limits. His unwavering support and encouragement motivated me to stay committed to my fitness goals. With his guidance, I have regained not only my physical strength but also my mental resilience. I am immensely grateful for the work and dedication that Cory has put into my success. He has helped me rediscover my passion for fitness and has empowered me to achieve goals I once thought were unattainable. I cannot recommend Bergman Performance enough for anyone looking to transform their life through fitness."

"Cory is one the of the most enthusiastic trainers I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. He is always supportive and makes sure that I am pushing myself to improve. He creates a positive atmosphere that I really enjoy. I have been training under his guidance for well over a year and he structures my program specifically for my needs. Without him I wouldn’t have been able to get into such great shape for my tennis."

"To put into a few words, Cory is the man. A situation happened early this year where I had to go from retired college football player to active football player. In a matter of a few weeks, I accomplished that and mostly attribute that to Cory and his programming. He combines workouts I already knew and things that he has been experimenting with himself to help me get in the most ready shape I could possibly be in to come back to the world of college sports. Without him I do not believe I would be in the shape I am in now."

"Cory is the best! He really listens to what you need to include in your workouts and creates them to not only fit your goals but also your schedule and body’s needs. He is my go-to for any fitness need I have and I highly recommend working with him to anybody needing to get results!”

Registered Dietician
"I had a career ending military injury, along with all of the stereotypical terrible treatment that is not uncommon for veterans and current service members. I had to start over and re-learn basic movements. I was crushed both physically and mentally, then I met Cory Bergman. Bergman Performance took a holistic approach and within 8 months I was able to bench press more than my bodyweight, move with full range of motion where I couldn't before, and even run a half-marathon Spartan Race. Cory's programming adapts to what equipment I have available to me no matter where I am. This is how training should be. Bergman Performance is the way."

"I have had the pleasure to work with Cory both as a coworker and being one of his personal coaching clients and could not recommend him more. I have been using his online programming system for the past 2 years and could not be happier. He is hands-down one of the most passionate and knowledgeable professionals in the field! He has always been very accommodating to lifestyle changes and the occasional aches and pain that I deal with, but still always manages to find ways for me to stay active and consistent on a strength training program. I would trust him with any one of my patients and look forward to continue to work with him personally for many years to come.”
Melissa Franco
Physical Therapist
"In 7th grade I started training with Cory. He's changed my life and the way I see the weight room. He taught me how to lift the right way and attack every workout that's in front of me. He's given me great advice and taught me life lessons outside of the gym and lifting weights. It seemed like whenever I asked for a lift on the side or advice on how I should do something he was always there to coach me up. I'm truly blessed to have a coach like Cory in my life that pushed me to my limits because he saw the potential in me and knew that I could be something great. He taught me how to eat, recover, and most importantly helped me build muscle in the offseason."

"I didn’t start taking training seriously until I turned 21. I had a weak lower back and didn’t know a whole lot when I got started. I wanted proper guidance and That’s when I decided to get on with Cory at Bergman Performance. I completed two 9 week programs and one 12 week program. Without a doubt I was in the best shape of my life after these 3 programs. If there was a movement/lift I didn’t know how to perform Cory provided game changing advice as well as videos that were at my convenience through The TrainHeroic app Cory uses to write all his programming. With the right advice, I felt confident and prepared going into my big lifts with this program. I highly recommend anyone looking to get stronger and in great shape work with Cory."

"I found Cory Bergman / Bergman Performance by accident. I wasn’t looking for a coach at the time, but when I moved in 2024 and life just kept happening, I noticed that my health and fitness was put on the back burner and I needed help. A guide. Someone to reintroduce me to accountability and quality exercise. Cory shares the common goals of wanting to stay strong, stay in motion, and continue to take on challenges with a growth mindset. I am so pleased with myself, more than I’ve been in two years of exercise, and I owe thanks to Cory and his tailored approach. If you are looking for direction in the gym, coming off an injury, and are wanting to grow your health and fitness baseline, I would highly recommend Bergman Performance."
