“I’ve always been overweight and I finally decided I wanted to do something about it. The Athlete Academy was my “go to” because my daughter has excelled in her sport ever since she joined. The new adult program can be tough sometimes, but when you’re motivated by great coaches and have an accountability group it pushes you to do more! They’ve become my fAmily!”

“Prior to August of 2017 I was your typical “I need to work out but I don’t have time” type of person. I made time to get my kids to their training and I would just sit there. One day while watching my kids train I realized if I was going to really be the example I wanted them to see I needed to quit making excuses and work out myself. I started out barely able to lift the bar (45 pounds) to almost being able to double that amount in a year.
I am now doing exercises and movements I never even thought I was capable of doing. I have way more energy, confidence, and overall stamina and it has given more common ground for myself and my kids to talk about each day. They’re seeing a stronger mom and seeing that I practice what I preach about staying in shape. Sometimes getting to the gym requires a lot of coordination on my part yet we get there and we work out. Training has become a priority to not only me but my entire family and we are so much better for it.”

“The Athlete academy has not only helped me become a better athlete but a better person as well. It’s not just a workout that is created for each athlete. A lesson is learned everyday and it has made me more of a responsible person. The coaches and other athletes are more like family. I have become stronger and faster but also have gained knowledge about the mechanics that are necessary for proper performance on the track.”

“The Athlete Academy and it’s coaches have had a huge impact on my life for the past few years. I was able to successfully come back from an injury at a pace that was comfortable for me and my body, all thanks to the expertise of the coaching team. Over the past couple of months, I have noticed myself becoming not only stronger physically, but stronger mentally.
The coaching at The Athlete Academy provides myself and my fellow athletes with knowledge about how to push ourselves to become stronger and how to get past mental blocks that may be stopping us from becoming physically stronger. While I have seen a huge improvement physically, my mindset about becoming a better athlete has developed me into the person that I am today. I have learned to respect the process of every small movement that we work on, because even those small movements lead to great improvement.
The coaching atmosphere allows every athlete, no matter their skill set, to feel not only welcome to become a better athlete, but welcome to be a part of a family. I am proud to be a member of this gym and this family.”

“I am a female & over 50 years old. I have been doing the 5:00-6:00 a.m. adult program for 4 years. The Athlete Academy knows what are weaknesses in my body are and modify my workouts and have actually strengthened these areas so I see my chiropractor less frequently 🙂 I love the warmups, stretching, strength and conditioning workouts.
I feel stronger and find everyday tasks are done easily. I believe the Adult Program they offer is amazing because they hear your needs and are specific in designing your program best suited for YOU. This is the best kept secret in workouts. I feel better as I’m aging that my body is stronger in all the right ways.”

“My name is Jack Mitchell, and I am a member of the Athlete Academy. What brought me here was how well the athletic training was from the group of coaches, but what made me stay was how they treated you like family. If you have an injury, they actually care about making you better so that you can get back healthy as quickly as possible, but not rushing it so that you reinjure yourself.
Their goals are to help you improve as an athlete, by getting faster, stronger, and more aware about how your body is working. They push you so that you can become the best that you can be, and I am grateful for that. I have loved my time at the Athlete Academy, and I can’t wait for more training and memories in the future.”
