Elite Reviews
I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy and have worked with fitness professionals for over a decade. JR is hands down one of the best strength coaches I’ve worked with. He goes above and beyond for every athlete and treats his high school and college clients with the exact same enthusiasm and detail he does with his elite athletes. He also focuses on the mental aspect of the game more than most strength coaches.Dr. Frank Benedetto
Great place for any youth and High school athlete that is serious and wants to be prepared to be a student athlete in College. John Rahn is an amazing Coach and mentor to his athletes and I highly recommend this place. He did an amazing job preparing my boys for the next level.James Rivera
Amazing coach, awesome person, exudes positive energy, always uplifting and motivating. I look forward to every single session we have and haven’t missed one since we started training together in June! Highly recommend!Shane Burgos
As a former D1 athlete, you do what you can to surround yourself with the absolute best. Coach JR was THE best. Day in and day out, he gave it his all in order to make you the best you could be. He tailored everything you did to fit YOU. Each and every workout he pushed you to give 110%, and you left Believe facility feeling like you gave it everything you could. Coach JR pushed me to be the next level athlete I was striving to be.Michael Vincent
As a former college athlete Coach JR helped me transition into a new healthy lifestyle. The amount of consistent exercise I was used to significantly decreased while work and new responsibilities increased. He taught me so much about nutrition and maintaining a healthy fit lifestyle. Knowing Coach JR personally, as a friend, I know he is passionate about and dedicated to helping athletes at all levels reach their full potential. Daniel Tangney
