My son has been attending this gym for a while now, and we couldn't be happier! Mike and Jordan are exceptional. They love to coach and are clearly meant to be doing what they are designed to be doing. Their passion and dedication shine through in every session.
Mike and Jordan have an incredible attention to detail, always pointing out ways for the kids to improve while maintaining a positive and supportive atmosphere. They genuinely care about the kids and are committed to seeing them succeed. It's been amazing to watch my son grow and thrive under their guidance. I highly recommend this gym for any parent looking to provide their child with an engaging fitness and training experience.
WOW!! Talk about a couple of stand-up guys!! Mike and Jordan have both shown their personal passion of growth to all of our student athletes that walk through the door. Regardless of age, sport, or lvl of development. They both push our student athletes to preform at their own highest lvl. The amount of detail in footwork, body positioning, EFFORT, and FOCUS that is demanded to be successful in LIFE (not just sports) has been an amazing opportunity for all. I'm very greatful for the patience shown, and the persistence of preforming at a high lvl from both Jordan, and Mike. Thank you for showing my kids what it takes to make it to the next lvl. Thank you for showing them the process and helping to trust the PROCESS. My only regret is that we didn't join much sooner. In the last couple months I've seen tremendous growth from my kids. Not only athletically, but in the way they approach their day to day life. Thanks again!!! G-UP
Jordan and Mike went out of their way to make my kids feel comfortable and welcome his first time. The communication prior to purchasing the membership was great as well and they answered all my questions. Both guys took the time to give us a tour, talk to us and explain who they are and what they are about as well as listen to what we are looking for and how our goals and their knowledge can translate and support each other. The training environment was supportive age all about healthy competition, training hard and learning the proper techniques. It's all about supporting each other and being part of the family. Aside from all that, the price point for 2 athletes for the training received and the amount you can go is the best in town. I highly recommend.
I can't say enough about Jordan and Mike! these guys not only know what it takes to be an elite athlete but they truly care about the kids they are teaching. My son tore his ACL and Mike and Jordan have been there for him through the recovery process. they have reached out on their personal time just to make sure he is good both mentally and physically. Thank you both, you guys are Amazing! (Dion)
Mike & Jordan are amazing! Their technique & skills, elevated my kids in their respective sports (basketball, football, soccer & volleyball). We have since moved to another state and our kids still remember their training with them. We have enrolled them in another training gym here and it is nothing compared to what Mike & Jordan provided for our kids. The skills our kids learned from G-Up definitely sets them apart from other kids at this new training gym & has definitely contributed to their performance in the sports they are playing. G-Up was not just another training gym/session, they have become our family & we sure do miss our time with them. Every penny & time you put in for your kids by using G-Up will be all worth it! Don't wait, go ahead and get them started in the sessions!
Helped me overcome adversity with concussion and made me better as an athlete

Jordan and Mikeare top notch coaches. G-Up has made a huge difference for my young rugby player. The agility skills and mindset taught at G-up has made a massive difference on the pitch for my athlete. Highly recommend for all young athletes!
These guys are amazing! They are gifted trainers who are caring, motivating, & attentive. If you are looking for a positive environment where your kids can gain skills, confidence, & endurance, this is it.
