Client Reviews

Coach Alvin is great! He listened to what I wanted to do and has helped me work towards my goals.

Coach Alvin came prepared with handouts on nutrition as we had mention that was area our son wanted to work on. He explained everything and answered all of our questions. Our son felt challeged and learned new stretches in his first session. We would recommend him to anyone!!

Coach Alvin was knowledgeable and very approachable.

Coach Alvin is in touch not only with coaching track, but what it takes for a young student athlete to be successful

Coach Alvin is a very knowledgable coach! He showed great interest in helping my son and we saw improvements the first session. My son looks forward to more sessions with Coach Alvin

My daughter Lauren has trained for the past two years with Coach Alvin. She is currently attending Cleveland State University on a track scholarship and has benefitted greatly from her work with this coach. His training methods helped her to become a state qualifier in Track & Field in 2016. Coach Alvin maintains a holistic approach to training and not only focuses on the physical aspects of track, but on nutrition and track's mental side as well. He is "old school" but he relates well to the young athlete of today and that is what makes him special. He believes in hard work, determination and dedication; values that never go out of style. Additionally, Coach Alvin has been, and will continue to be a mentor to my daughter both on and off the track. He is excited to watch her as she continues her journey as a track athlete and he remains not only her coach but a huge fan. I recommend Coach Alvin to anyone who wants to strive to reach new heights.

I am working towards some very important goals. Alvin has continued to develop clear obtainable milestones for me to become better. He comes with a plan in place and always pushes me past what I thought was possible. I look forward to having Alvin as my coach longterm.

Coach Alvin was very knowledgable and cares about the athletes he works with. He is a very nice guy who related well with my son. I would recommend him

Coach Williams was great. I can wait for my son to use him again. He is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

Coach Williams was great. He was flexible with meeting time and introduced my son (age 10) to new stretching techniques and a nice first session to gauge my son's abilities. He is kind and personable and related well to
My son. Highly recommended!

I am absolutely thrilled that Coach Alvin has been training with my son! My son is passionate about sprinting and was so disillusioned when he had a tibial stress fracture that kept him from running the past spring. We started working with Coach Alvin this summer, and he has been instrumental to improving my son's speed and strength. Coach Alvin's holistic approach...which includes improved diet, keeping a daily log of all activities, weightlifting, increasing flexibility...goes well above and beyond running drills and working out on the track. As a personal trainer, Coach Alvin takes the time to understand the person's capabilities, and he customizes his approach to play up strengths and improve weaknesses. Coach Alvin pushes our son to higher goals with each workout and has been a strong motivational support. I feel blessed that Coach Alvin genuinely cares about my son succeeding, and Coach's energy and enthusiasm is testimony to the passion he feels for the sport.
