ATHLETE TESTIMONIALS

"JT's the man! I've been working with him for the last 2 years, and he's helped me get the absolute most out of every off-season. JT is constantly collecting data, tracking performance metrics, and tailoring movements to exactly what I need, always making sure I'm getting closer to my goals. The culture and energy he brings to the gym/sessions make it easy to show up motivated and push to get better every singe day."
