"These training programs helped improve my game in a multitude of ways from explosion and speed increasing to help beat defenders off the dribble, stability in my hips and knees helping me feel stronger finishing off one or two in the paint, my shot has improved through simply just learning how to use my lower body and balance on my mid range as he put me through workouts that are specifically for off balance landings, my rebounding has gone up as I built more confidence in my vert and trusting my landing on rebounds as he put me through vert trainings, my all around game has improved and has helped me become confident in trusting my body on the court without fearing an injury."

"While training with Joe I achieved many goals I never thought I would achieve and became a better human. Training with Joe unlocked the athleticism I didn't know I had through the fluidity of movements, joe helped me become a smoother mover while acquiring power at the same time. Through time, Joe's program helped me by not only having a consistent trainer stay on me to reach my goals, but a sense of mentorship and family. The program made me more flexible and made it easier to get in and out of positions while gaining a major leap in life. I was able to achieve a more vertical leap which was a major need of mine due to me not being as athletic in my earlier childhood. "

"As an ambitious athlete my goals have always been high, high but still achievable. When I started training with Joe, I noticed I was able to make significant improvements to my overall athleticism. This was a big step in taking my game to the next level. The workouts have always been creative and Joe is continuously finding new ways to build me up as an athlete. He is always pushing me to get the most out of me in the gym and I definitely recommend his training to anyone. It’s important to find a trainer to help you on and off the court and as he’s pushing me in the weight room he is always pushing me to be a better person everyday and I really feel he cares about me and my success."
