PARENT TESTIMONIALS

Colleen Heslin, Mother of Emily

“My daughter began training with Ryan at ETS a little over two years ago following knee surgery. According to her physical therapist, in order to prevent future injuries she needed to strengthen her core and other muscles. Well, with the work out plans they designed for her, that was accomplished long ago; but she’s still there and loving it. She says that although they push her hard, they motivate her and make it fun.  Her strength and overall performance have definitely improved and there’s been no more serious injuries. Thank you!”

Kirk Haugestuen, Father of Austin

 “As a former collegiate athlete, high school coach, educator, administrator and father of a son in the ETS Program I have a perspective of what it takes to enhance athletic ability and personal attributes for prep athletes.

The ETS System assesses each athlete’s personal skill set, considers and focuses upon specificity training for a sport of choice, and personalizes each workout to enhance the performance of the athlete.

Specifically, Ryan Englebert understands the anatomy and physiology of sport movement, and the relationship of enhancing the body’s ability to function at it’s highest level. As a former professional athlete, he understands pre-competition, competition and post-competition needs of the athlete to prepare for and enhance performance and help the body recover after physical exertion. Ryan Englebert also makes connections with the athletes he trains and builds solid relationships through the ETS System. If you are considering a training system that enhances performance, builds character and focuses on specific sports, then I would highly recommend ETS to you!

It’s because of these specific qualities and the amazing improvement in our son’s performance that we will continue to drive 1 hour and 45 minutes 2-3x per week to ensure our son receives the best training possible!”

Ryan Schumacher, Father of Evan

 “We wanted to share with you how pleased we are with Evan’s training at ETS.  He started your Strength Plus training program in mid November as a 14 year old (now 15) high school freshman.   Evan’s stated objective when he began was, in short,  to become a “beast” (we think that’s his way of saying that he wants to get as strong and as fast as possible).  As parents, our objective was to assist Evan in achieving his primary goal of becoming an accomplished varsity soccer player and to be as well-equipped as possible to avoid injury while competing.  You promised that we would see progress in Evan as long as he worked hard in his training.  Evan has put a lot of effort into the ETS workouts these past three months and the results from the first formal progress check were startling.   His vertical leap increase (going from 18 inches to 25 inches) was impressive and he significantly lowered his times in both quickness-based tests.   He has gained muscle mass and weight along with the increased speed;  we noticed the results of these changes in his indoor soccer league games—as he competes, we can tell that Evan knows he is stronger and faster.  As you recognize very well from your experiences, confidence is a huge positive factor in athletics.  

As parents with busy family schedules, we’ve been very pleased with our ETS experience.  You and the other staff have given Evan a safe, energy-filled training environment.  He gets professional, individual attention from your trainers as he executes his workouts and he appreciates the change in routines every two weeks (he also likes the music and energetic atmosphere at ETS).  We’ve had to change his training appointment a few times to accommodate school activities; your process for doing that and the selection of workout times has accommodated those short notice adjustments very well.

 Evan was really pumped up about the outcome from Tuesday (parents really like to see the occasional smile from their teen agers); he is excited for continuing his workouts and is looking forward to seeing more progress with ETS’ program.”

Jeff Johnson, Father of Braden

“ETS has been everything we wanted and expected—an excellent environment, individual attention to our son’s needs, opportunities to work hard and get stronger, and a staff of trainers that look for ways to support athletes in more ways than just physically. After meeting Ryan and Heidi for the first time, you realize they have something special. Both are proven athletes who know what it takes to be successful, and have decided to work together to change the lives of others. Add to that the additional training staff, and you have a recipe for success!

There’s no doubt in my mind that our son is getting a first-rate workout at ETS. Every two weeks the workout is adjusted with new activities that will challenge and push him to new heights. By continuing to challenge him, it allows him to grow not only as an athlete, but also as a young man. Since starting ETS in mid September, and in only 4 months, our son has improved 4″ in his vertical, 55 pounds in his bench, and 80 pounds in his box squat.

The gains don’t just stop with the physical success. For our son, working out at ETS is something that he looks forward to every time. Let’s face it, working out is not easy, but when you see the gain, have the ability to work with such a great staff, and see others working out who can motivate you, it sure makes it easier. Not once since we have started has it been a challenge to get our son to work out, he is ready to go every day and that speaks volume to the program.

 In both basketball and football, he has seen improvements. He has gained confidence when going up against someone bigger or even stronger and he knows he can now hang with them. His quickness, flexibility, and strength have all helped with that. Thanks ETS for helping our son continue his goal of being a Varsity athlete. “

Kristin and Todd Causby, Parents of Taylor and Cole

“When we enrolled our son Taylor (age 12) at ETS, our hope was to help him improve on his speed and agility for basketball and baseball. What we have seen has been much more than that. The transformation with his quickness, vertical jump, and form has been impressive for such a short period of time. Much to our suprise, these accomplishments have not been the most impressive thing we have seen. ETS owners Ryan and Heidi, along with their talented staff, have helped cultivate Taylor’s confidence and leadership skills, taking a quiet kid and making him more secure in his abilities.

The environment at ETS allows for younger kids to observe the high school and college kids during their workouts. We are constantly asked “when will I get to do that? Can I work out at ETS until I graduate?” For a 12 year old to get that excited about working out, there is something special going on at ETS! It is not like a big-box type gym where you take your class, do your workout and leave without being noticed. The ETS staff is always involved with your program and they genuinely care about the kids and what is going on in their lives.

Stu Kancigor, Father of Jason

“My 14 year old son has been training at ETS for several months.  He is an incoming Freshman in high school  and plays football and baseball.  The experience has been phenomenal.  The trainers at ETS are passionate about the program.  The program is proven successful and the trainers know it and instill a certain work ethic in the kids that I have never seen before.  My son and several of his friends that take part in the training program not only see huge results in several different physical categories but actually look forward to the sessions.  Every trainer on staff is fully qualified and displays a passion for working out that is contagious.  That makes the whole experience fun, consistent and leads to tremendous results.

My son has experienced great results in strength, agility, flexibility, durability and speed.   The improvement is a direct result of the evaluation of my son’s initial needs which are specific to the sports he wishes to improve his performance.  I really have a lot of gratitude to Ryan and his staff.   My son will continue to train at ETS as this is the most valuable instructional program he has ever participated in. 

The results speak for themselves!!!!
