"I don't think there are enough thank yous in the world when it comes to both of my trainers, these guys have both amplified me as a competitor and as a ball player in general. I have learned to train like a pro along with getting treated like one. They have always supported me and have helped transform me into something only my younger self could hope to be. The thing that makes it even better is the fact that both Chet and Will are going to make me even better as time goes on and as I continue in my academic and baseball career. Thank you guys for getting me to where I am along with treating me so well to help me get better."

"Having been with these two for a year now, there is no doubt or question in my mind that I have developed more in one year than anywhere else. Coming in, I needed somewhere to train in the off-season. What I got? - I got stronger in every lift substantially. Not only did my strength go up unbelievably, but my speed and overall athleticism improved. I chose these two because I knew they would know what needed to be done to get me to the next level. They have done that, and I cant thank these 2 enough for helping me with this lifelong goal. They are amazing trainers and amazing people. Excited to keep working with them & see where the future takes me. "
