I had an interesting conversation with Hank on the way back from Velocity. He has had about six different friends come with him for free trials and they think he is crazy. He said they ask him all of the time, "why do you do it?"
 
His explanation was this: "Some people are in good shape and that's fine but I want to be over the top, better than good, better than great, I want to be in the best shape I can possibly be in. That's why I do it."
 
I really appreciate the fact that your facility has not only helped him with his goal, but also cultivated this behavior. I am sure that your staff, is a huge part of his success with his athletics and his demeanor concerning the total athlete that he has become.
 
I have told him many times that it doesn't matter to me whether he plays sports or not. What matters is that I encourage and support him to be the best in what he chooses to do.

The first time I brought him in for a trial I knew he would either like it or hate it. he's just that kind of kid. When he was finished and we got into the car I asked him what he thought.....
 
"Yeah, definitely." was the answer.
 
I surely do appreciate the personal touch that each member of the staff gives to parents and athletes.
 
We finish our year on July 8th and will return to be tested. After his first year in high school we will evaluate the need to return. If it was closer it would not even be a question.
 
We will keep you posted on his career.
 
Again, I appreciate all of the knowledge, encouragement, and improvement Hank has gained by coming to Velocity.

I wanted to thank you both for the opportunity to train at Velocity this past summer. Experiencing first hand the intensity with which my players have trained, has provided me with a greater understanding of Velocity's commitment to excellence.
 
I would like to point out, although you are surely aware, how fortunate you are to have Trae on your staff. He is extremely knowledgeable and has the ability to motivate by continually introducing new exercises. A session did not go by where I not only learned how and why to train, but his energy level and enthusiastic approach made me want to work harder. I looked forward to every session and now understand why it is my girls love and respect Trae as much as they do! "A program is only as good as the coaches who energize it."  In Trae, you have found the best!
 
I sincerely hope we will be able to work something out with Velocity and Moorestown High School. I now know what a great program you facility has to offer and I can only hope Moorestown will grab a hold of the opportunity so that all Moorestown athletes can benefit from it. If nothing else, I can promise you that I will encourage as many athletes, students and adults that I know to experience for themselves the incredible training that I experienced these past two months. Thank you again!

A special thank you to the training staff at Velocity Sports Performance.
 
Our team began training at Velocity in 2003.  Your training was a vital piece of our team’s overall training program.  Your team training program helped our players improve their speed, agility, strength, quickness, and level of fitness.  The fact that your trainers geared the program to highlight the physical skills required to play soccer was truly an added bonus.
 
Your training program coupled with our team’s technical and tactical soccer training enabled us to compete at the highest levels of the state, regional, and national competitions.  There is no doubt that Velocity played an integral role in our back to back State Championships, Regional Championship and ultimately our run to the National Championship’s Final Four.
 
As you know when athletes compete, even the most fit and prepared athletes sustain injuries.  Mandy, John, Meghan and The Training Room staff do a fantastic job of rehabilitating injuries and getting the players healthy and back on the field.  The personal attention coupled with the knowledge and expertise in sports injury rehabilitation is the best around.
 
Perhaps the best endorsement of your organization is to list some of the schools that our players past and present, will attend in the fall of 2008.  The list is as follows:
 
            LaSalle University                                                       St. Bonaventure
            George Washington University                                   Princeton University
            University of Massachusetts                                       Farleigh Dickinson University
            St. Joseph’s University (5 players)                              IONA College
            University of Maryland (2 players)                             Drexel University
            University of Alabama (2 players)
 
Our coaching staff strongly recommends Velocity Sports Performance and The Training Room for any athlete, team, or individual looking to improve their performance and increase their level of fitness.  Read Testimonial

 I began training at Velocity seven months ago.  I am convinced that the personal training programs at Velocity offer the perfect mix of exercises for anyone serious about his or her health and fitness.  
As a fifty year old I have experienced nearly every fitness program ever devised, from long distance running to heavy weight training and everything in between.  I have also begun to experience the nagging aches, pains and injuries that plague all of us in middle age who want to continue to enjoy the activities that are so much a part of our lives.  For a number of years I have been convinced that a new and more innovative workout program was necessary in order to achieve my long term fitness goals which include weight control, flexibility, core strength, low heart rate and blood pressure and protection from injury.  I have found all this at Velocity. 
 
The facilities and the personal trainers at Velocity enable you to complete a full and uninterrupted workout consisting of stretching, aerobics, weight training and especially core strengthening exercises.  The workouts are challenging but enjoyable.  Your trainer will set up the entire program and move you through it assuring that you complete every exercise properly and for maximum benefit.  Each individual’s strengths and weaknesses are considered in tailoring his or her individual workout.  You could never achieve the same program or results at a local gym.  The Velocity experience is totally different. 
 
The improvements to my health and fitness are easy to see.  I have gained endurance, flexibility and overall strength.  I have achieved the most significant gains in the core of my body, and in middle age and beyond there is nothing more important than protecting that core.  The results are obvious from the way I feel the moment I get out of bed.  And as further proof, I am able to hit a golf ball 15 to 20 yards longer than I could a year ago.
 
To achieve marked improvements in your health and fitness you don’t need to be an expert or have a lifetime of experience.  All you have to be is serious about improving and the training program at Velocity will do the rest for you.  I am a true believer.

I have been working out since high school to prepare for that year’s upcoming baseball season, but I have never been more ready than I will be this year. Since hiring Matt as my trainer, I have discovered what it means to “train” as opposed to “work out.” To me, training suggests that there is something to be achieved as a result of the hard work. Matt knows my goals as well as I do, and with the knowledge of physiology and how it pertains to baseball, he created a plan that will have me in the best shape of my life heading into spring training and the season. Each day, the workout is extremely challenging and also functional in its relationship to baseball. Speed, explosive power, agility, balance, and core strength have been the focus of our training. We cover all of these aspects daily with a diversity of exercises that never becomes dull or repetitive. Because of Matt’s guidance and motivation, the split seconds and fractions of inches will be in my favor.

Matthew has had a wonderful experience at Velocity since day one.  The coaches are fantastic.  Every coach that Matt had explained to the kids exactly what needed to be done for each exercise and was always there to give each kid encouragement when they were having a problem with an exercise.  It was great to see Matt develop at each station as each session went by.  Velocity has given Matt the confidence to succeed and work hard to accomplish his goals.  Matt will be back and we will highly recommend Velocity to our friends.

I want to let you know how pleased my son, Charlie, and I have been with the training Charlie has received at Velocity.  Your staff has been courteous and professional throughout the several months that we have been coming to Velocity.  Although there are many facilities located much closer to our home, the long drive to Velocity has been well worth our time.
 
In particular, I would like to bring to your attention the outstanding job Kevin Stewart did in working with Charlie to improve his sprint performance.  Kevin’s expertise, his ability to clearly communicate and teach new skills, and his consistent encouragement throughout the training process are to be commended.  In addition, Kevin did an excellent job of preparing Charlie for all of his scheduled track events and we truly appreciate his efforts.
