Max Performance Testimonials

Ryan Reser

"My name is Ryan Reser and I am a 2008 Olympian in the sport of Judo. I highly recommend Aaron Knutson and Phil Tognetti at Max Performance. From 2006 to 2008, I utilized the staff at Max Performance to push my cardio and strength development to the limits and beyond. Their passion for working with athletes and creative thinking helped me to reach performance goals that I was unable to reach in the past. One of the greatest benefits was the sport-specific training that I received during my sessions at Max. Prior to training with these guys, I came up short twice and was an Olympic alternate in 2000 and 2004. There was something missing in my training regimen and it needed to be revamped. There is no doubt in my mind that training at Max directly resulted in making the 2008 Olympic team. If you are a serious athlete in need of performance development and are looking for a company that you can trust and will produce results, then I urge you to go see Aaron and Phil at Max Performance."

"The training program at Max Performance has been awesome.  It was one of the main keys to my college lacrosse recruitment.  Phil's work on speed and agility definitely improve my performance on the field and college coaches noticed.  The Max Performance initial assessment and follow-up reviews led me to train smarter.  Each workout targeted skills that I needed on the lacrosse field.  They also worked with my high school coaches to make sure my workouts were synchronized around team activities.  Thanks for everything."

Trevor Goldberg"Working with Phil and Aaron at Max Performance is one of the greatest gifts we have given Trevor.  He has learned that hard work and perseverance is the only way to achieve goals.  Being in top shape has helped him to keep his body injury free and his brain focused on his approach to his game.  We plan to keep Trevor with Phil and Aaron all the way through high school."

Abbey Chesley"This program made me stronger, both mentally and physically.  Phil pushes you to the limit, but you get so much more out of it than you would doing it by yourself.  I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is serious about strength and conditioning."

Rheana Trujillo"Attending Max Performance made a huge improvement with my speed.  Within a couple weeks, I noticed that I was running the correct way and quicker.  All the sweat, sore muscles, and heavy breathing was worth every second of it!  Thanks Max Performance for making me a faster and stronger athlete!"

Terry Gilmore"Max Performance developed a pre-season and in-season training program designed specifically to complement our team practices and the other training opportunitites currently available at our high school.  With up to sixteen players working out at the same time under close supervision of the professionals at Max Performance, our players not only worked to their strengths, but aslo came to understand areas of needed improvement in performance not typically found at other gyms or weight rooms.  The training was specific to the needs of the individual and for the sport itself.  It became a great team building experience and our players' improved performance on the field is certainly attributable in part to their preparation work at Max Performance."

Austin Powell"Our interest in Max Performance began as a tool for our oldest son.  His fascination with competitive sports from a very young age has kept our family at a run.  We wanted to all Austin to participate in everything he was interested in.  Yet, we were both aware of the possibility of injuries at a young age that could have long lasting impact.

"Our experience over the last two years with this program: injury prevention, core strength, the ability to compete at quality levels, and increased confidence.

"Phil and the staff at Max Performance are professionals, they are tough, they are knowledgable, and they educate not only the athlete but also the parents.  This has allowed Austin not only to compete at his highest potential, but to stay healthy while competing.

"This progam has educated our family, and has been a positive experience all the way around.  The knowledge we have gained will keep our younger sons healthy as well."

"Phil and Aaron did a phenominal job with my Fall Baseball Program.  They worked our boys as hard as any program I've seen and everything was baseball specific.  Max Performance really understands the importance of baseball specific training and the results were incredible.  I would recommend Max Performance for baseball teams of all ages."
