In their words
Our daughter (Alli) loves training with Aaron and his team. She is highly motivated by the performance improvements she is realizing and by the outstanding training staff. We are very appreciative of the personal attention she has received and the individualized approach to her training program. We just wish we had started this program earlier!

Aaron’s helped give many Iowa Rockets volleyball players the physical advantage necessary to compete at the top level. He understands athletics and performance training. He takes the time to learn about the athlete and adjust a training program for a specific sport, age, and skill level. Iowa Rockets players from seventh grade through high school seniors (and beyond) have increased their quickness and vertical — which is so critical to the sport of volleyball.

If you are in the market to increase your athletic performance in a healthy and balanced way, Aaron and his team are exactly what you are looking for. In my two years working with them as an assistant volleyball coach at The University of Iowa I have seen increased vertical jump, increased speed, and increased first-step quickness in all the athletes they have worked with. The training environment is fun. They are going to push you, coach you, and care for you.
Ben BoldtAssistant volleyball coach, University of Iowa
Through working with Aaron, I now have skilled soccer players who have bodies that are physically ready to withstand a busy and extremely competitive high school season. All athletes who participated in your program got faster over the distances you tested. Moreover, the athletes’ confidence in the weight room from the first day to the last is nothing short of miraculous.
Andrew McKnightHead Coach, Kennedy Women’s Soccer · two 4A state championships
I worked with Aaron all 4 years of high school. In that time, I increased my vertical jump by 12.5 inches (35") and increased my speed on the track.

Aaron has been a major influence for me in developing powerful hips and overall explosiveness. His instruction has been huge for increases in my flexibility and core strength.
Jon GilmoreFirst-round Major League Baseball draft pick
I’ve been playing professional soccer for 5 years, but after 1 month training with Aaron, I am bigger, faster, and stronger than I have ever been. It’s not just lifting weights for the sake of it, it’s practical and sport-specific.
Tom ParrattProfessional soccer player, Scottish Premier League
Through my work with Aaron, I have at least doubled my strength in every muscle group. He took my strength from average to an elite athlete level.
Emily KlinfelterTeam USA boxer · world champion
His very strong season in soccer and a State Championship are a direct result of his effort and the training and discipline, and of course confidence he has gained through working with Aaron. Ally entered her sophomore year at college stronger, quicker and ready for the demanding season of basketball.
Mark WeaverParent · daughter became Carleton College’s career 3-point record holder
I walked into spring and summer 2021 in the best physical shape possible to compete for a roster spot on the Italian National Softball Team. He trained me over thousands of miles, many different weight rooms, quarantines, limited equipment and no equipment. Even though I didn’t make the final Olympic roster, I was healthy, I was very strong, and I knew I had the constant support of one of the most trusted trainers in my career.

Countermovement jump is a two-footed jump from standing. Single-leg jump is the same
test on one leg at a time, which is where side-to-side differences show up.
These are individual athletes, measured on the same protocol before and after.
Results vary with age, stage, starting point and how much training actually happens.
