Velocity Testimonials

-"I just wanted to thank all of you for helping my son to perform at the highest level in club soccer. He is the full-time goalkeeper for Exiles, based in Palos Verdes. Exiles play at the highest level in Southern California's Development League against some of the best teams in the country. After doing speed and agility for several months, Shawn switched to strength and power 2x/week for the last 3 months. In Shawn's recent testing, he added 3 inches to his vertical leap and shaved 1 second off his time in the 40-yard dash.  Yesterday, at the area "goalkeeper combat competition," which is a one-on-one test of goalkeeper skills, endurance, and strategy, Shawn won all five matches en route to the championship for ages 12-13. His average margin of victory was the largest among ages 9-13.  Most importantly, Shawn has developed a love for fitness training. That's one of the best gifts a parent could give his child.  Shawn is having so much fun that I have decided to get off my butt for the last 2 years and start adult fitness next week." - Parent of D1 Soccer Athlete
 
-"I've been training at Velocity for about two years.  When I started here, I weighed 205 lbs. and couldn't do a single chin-up.  Plus, I'd get winded just doing jumping jacks.  Basically, I was in terrible shape for a 28-year-old guy.  So I decided to try something new -- something that wouldn't bore me after just a few weeks.  And two years later, I'm still waking up every morning excited for another VSP workout.
 The coaches are the best -- period.  Every one of them not only has a tremendous amount of knowledge, but they're fantastic motivators and they really know how to design fun, effective workouts.  The facilities are top-notch, too.  That's why college athletes come here every year to prepare for the NFL Combine, MLB tryouts, and other sporting events.  They know they'll get the training they need to be the best.
 As an adult athlete, it's awesome to know that you're getting the exact same training as those elite athletes.  No two workouts are ever the same.  The class sizes are small and manageable.  And the results are unbelievable.  I now weigh about 175 lbs., can power through almost 20 chin-ups, and I don't get winded nearly as quickly as I used to.  This place is the absolute best, and I wouldn't trade it for any other gym!" -Adult Athlete/Fitness Client
 
-"I am a former Division One football player at the Air Force Academy and Colgate University, also a former competitive powerlifter, with 7 years of experience as a strength and conditioning coach at Yale and Georgetown.  Im a retired police officer who worked patrol, SWAT, and full time police academy instructor for fitness and officer survival. As a very educated consumer in fitness related matters, I can see only one clear option of where I would spend my money to train in Los Angeles, and thats Velocity Sports in Redondo. If you want top notch coaching for yourself and your children, you would be hard pressed to find a better place than Velocity. As an adult working through injuries I am at peace and confident I get the quality instruction I need to improve my fitness and quality of life, and I have the pleasure of observing numerous young athletes of all ages, getting the same quality of coaching I did as a varsity Division One athlete." - Adult Strength Client
 
-"When my daughter started full time with Velocity she had never had any physical training outside of high school softball and participating in the Junior Life Guard Program.  For a number of years she could barely lift 15lbs over her head.  She was tall and very thin - 5'8" and 100lbs.  After just 3 months with Velocity she has gained 17 lbs of muscle!  She is lean and strong, lifting and squatting over 50 lbs and has never been this self-confident.  Her bat speed has increased and is driving balls into the gap that used to just clear the infield.  I am so pleased with the results.  She will continue to train at Velocity if she continues softball or not.  The confidence and strength she gained will help with everything in life." - Parent of D2 Athlete 
 
-"I just wanted to let you know that our daughter has shown improvement in her tennis play since she started at Velocity this past summer.  Both her professional coach and her hitting partner, also a coach, have made comments about how fast she is now and that 'no ball gets past her.'  Evidence of improvement also comes in the form of a higher ranking with the USTA Southern California Open division for 12's.  She was able to play 2 long matches on the hottest day in L.A. history...and win!  I am not sure she could have accomplished that before she started working out at Velocity."   - Parent of D1 Athlete
 
-"My son's been going for almost a year now and he absolutely loves it.  He's always motivated to go and it's not only helped him on the ice, but it's helping at home because he gets his homework done more quickly and effectively after he's worked out.  My daughter who was at first skeptical is now hooked and has been going for a few months.  She feels she's much stronger on the ice now and also believes her skating has improved due to improvements in her overall athleticism." - Velocity Parent 
 
-"I started at Velocity in August, and I absolutely love the program.  The workouts are great and keep me wondering what the next night's workout is going to be!  I enjoy how challenging the workouts are because it always feels so good that I made it through!  The coaches are very knowledgeable and are great motivators throughout the workout.  I really enjoy the adult fitness program and I find that it has given me more energy during the day and has helped me to shed some unwanted pounds and tone up.  Thanks so much! :) " - Adult Fitness Client
 
-"Velocity is not your ordinary gym.  It's not even your ordinary personal training center.  Its all of that and more. The goal at Velocity is to make the trainees better athletes no matter what the sport.  All of their exercises are geared towards making you stronger, better, faster...kinda like that Kanye song. Ha!  Anyway, I quickly found out that their workouts were very different from anything I had experienced.  The warm up is about 15 to 20 minutes long and consists of any number of activities including jump rope drills, sprints, stretches, and my favorite: hand walks.  It took the entire month for me to get through the warm up without asking "are we done!?". After warming up, the instructor leads the class through more drills depending on the focus for the day. Each class includes a weight lifting exercise (lots of power squats!) and a fitness drill like making jumps higher or getting sprints quicker.  I like the variety because each class is different." - Adult Fitness Client
 
-"I like the class sizes.  Its not like a gym where there may be 20-30 people in your class.  Each adult class is limited to 8.  I went to classes at Noon and the biggest class I saw then was 4.  This provided for lots of one-on-one attention from the instructor." - Adult Fitness Client
 
-"The facility is cool too with about 40 yards of astro-turf marked out like a football field, all indoors.  I ran up and down that field many times carry weights, jumping rope, squatting, and many more heinous activities that whipped my butt into shape.  They also have a track, a small basket ball court, and an weight room.  Locker rooms too with lockers and a shower." - Adult Fitness Client

-"Velocity trains you like the pros.  If you ever wondered what spring training was like, stop in for a free demo and you'll find out very quickly!  Seriously, after a month at Velocity, ANY class at my regular gym is cake." - Adult Fitness Client
