When I was looking for a place to work on my skills as a football player, WPI was there to provide a state of the art facility which would assist me in my goals.  The personal trainers, especially Mark Clark in the weight room helped me develop my core, flexibility, and overall muscle endurance with a range of exercises which contributed to strengthening my body from the inside out.  The speed training at WPI is second to none.  When I came into WPI, I was looking for an edge on the competition and working with WPI’s staff provided  the edge I was looking for.  Furthermore, the staff at WPI provides excellent care whenever an athlete needs to get on track after an injury.  Dr. Gilenson and Dr. Miller perform miracles when it comes to caring for athletes.  But most of all, WPI is a great place with a welcoming environment.  From the owner, Scott Courter, to the front desk, everyone here wants to see you succeed and I would recommend WPI to any athlete that wants to reach their full potential for their upcoming season.

I just wanted to thank you for the support that we received from you guys during the months of January and February. During that part of the season, we always have tough tournaments on Saturdays, and then on Mondays we try to do a light workout and strength training.

We decided to do our strength training with you guys at WPI, and it was a great decision. Your trainers did a great job of motivating our kids and our wrestlers certainly responded well. A wrestling season is very long and grueling. The workouts at WPI were not only very beneficial, but were also a good change of pace.

Our JV was again the top JV in the state, our varsity was undefeated in the southeast and was ranked in the top 30 in the nation for most of the year, and actually made it up to #20 at one point. We won the State Championship easily in both the State Duals and the State Individual Tournament. I am convinced that the workouts that we went through at WPI had a lot to do with our success this year.

Thanks again, and you will be hearing from us again next year.

 I learned from Chuck Smith that pass rushing is about technique and more.  You can always get better at it.  Your hands, your strategy, all of it can be improved.  Chuck is more than a trainer to me.  He's a good friend.

WPI was great for me.  Scott and his trainers were all great for me.   I learned a lot from Chuck while working with him on pass rushing.

I really enjoyed my experience over at WPI.  I got into the best shape of my life while working out there. The staff Scott put together is great.   I learned a lot from Tony Jones and Chuck Smith that really helped me.

I learned a whole deal from Chuck.  I came in as a linebacker and had to learn a lot about rushing from defensive end.  After working with Chuck, I wish I had started with him a year earlier.   I would have had a higher rating at the position.   Our entire group really improved with Chuck.

WPI was a great experience.  They know when to push you hard and how to get you to your very best.  I went to WPI on a reference and I'm thanking them every day for telling me about WPI.

What I learned from Chuck over two months are things I should have learned 4 years ago when I first started playing college ball.  At the combine for instance, I was so prepared that the combine drills were easy after working with Chuck.  Chuck works you. He prepared us a great deal.  Working at WPI and with Chuck had me in shape for the combine and my pro day.   I wasn't nervous.  I was ready.  I knew I'd do well and I'd be prepared.

WPI was great.  I had fun everyday working with the guys and getting ready.  Chuck always came in hyped and ready to make us work.  The atmosphere is always positive.   You're always moving forward.

About one year ago in early fall of 2007, I met with you and some of your staff to discuss having some of your trainers come out and work with my soccer program.  I was mostly interested in having them work on preventing serious leg injuries, mostly ACL tears.  In doing this, I wanted to incorporate this type of injury prevention with speed and agility so all of my student-athletes in my soccer program at North Gwinnett High School would be in great shape and at the same time, developing good running, jumping, and landing habits.

My girls’ soccer program had suffered numerous ACL tears over the years but none more so than prior to the 2008 spring season where I had 4 returning girls out with torn ACLs before the season had started.  There is a lot of research, opinion, and speculation out there as to why this has occurred so frequently in girls in their early teens but I felt strongly as to why I thought it was happening.  I wanted to find a company that would work with all of my student-athletes in the boys and girls soccer program in the manner stated in the first paragraph above.

As a result of having the professional help of trainers like Mario Raley and the cooperation of you and your staff, our very young varsity girls’ soccer team had an amazingly unexpected successful season in both the amount of wins and the amount of leg injuries.  The North Gwinnett varsity girls’ soccer team, with no seniors and very few expectations from inside and outside our program, finished #4 in the entire state of Georgia and also had ZERO knee injuries for the first time in four years!

Scott, thank you for helping me take my vision as to what I wanted done with my soccer program and turning it into reality.

In October 2007, our daughter tore her ACL during a soccer game.  As a continuing part of her post surgical re-hab we enrolled her in the Strength and Agility sessions offered through WPI.  Out of curiosity, I attended many of her sessions to ascertain that the drills, exercises, and speed training were truly something that would be of benefit to her, both post surgically and in preparation for the approaching high school season.

The staff at WPI worked hard with our daughter focusing on her training not only on strengthening her leg, but on building full body strength.

I have been impressed with the individual help and training that takes place even during a group session.  The trainers take the time to instruct the athletes on proper technique and form.  I have appreciated the level of performance that the trainers are able to instill in the athletes.

I can recommend without reservation WPI and their staff to any athlete for their training purposes.
