ATHLETE TESTIMONIALS

"Working with JT for my off-season Training has elevated my performance. It's propelled me forward both on the ice and made me more resilient as an athlete. His attention to detail, knowledge, and the care put into my individualized program and training has helped improve my strength and stability. I have noticed quite a transformation in my lower body strength, and speed on the ice. The training progressions and focus on injury prevention leaves me feeling confident, healthy, and as prepared as possible me for the season ahead."
