"Mind To Muscle has been an integral part in the success our kids have achieved in their hockey careers.  For the past six years, the coaches at Mind To Muscle have prepared our kids for the rigours and demands that the sport of hockey requires.  From improving their strength, balance, flexibility, and speed to increasing their knowledge of the mental and physical level of preparation required to achieve success in the sport of hockey. Mind to Muscle has definitely given them an edge and raised their ability to compete at a higher level.  I would without hesitation recommend the Mind To Muscle training approach for any athlete that is looking to achieve a higher level of success."

"I have been attending Mind to Muscle after suffering a knee injury playing football. My therapist recommended the program to regain the strength in my leg. The HEAT strength and conditioning program has been a significant benefit in my recovery. Without it, I would not have been able to return to school athletics. Having the therapists at Mind to Muscle help me, the advice from Dr. Bauman and Trainer's Choice bracing all at one site is a terrific service. I certainly plan to return to Mind to Muscle next season to maintain and improve my lower body strength."
JAKE PIOTROWSKI,  Guelph Gryphons

I would like to say that from my first call to your office, I knew it was the right decision to sign up for the HEAT sessions.  I had a police physical test to prepare for and only 5 weeks to go before the big day.  I wasn't sure what to expect or if I would see any tangible results in such a short period of time.  I'm happy to report that not only did I pass the test, I excelled at it.  You see, I'm 6'3" and weighed 260 lbs prior to my HEAT sessions.  The day of my test I was down to 251 lbs.  My strength, balance, flexibility, muscle control and cardio had improved immensely.  All of that is attributed to Meaghan, Melanie and Andrew's professionalism and assistance.  I received nutritional advice, injury prevention advice and the motivation to succeed.  I know that I would not have received the same treatment and expertise from any other facility in the area.  I will continue to train at Mind to Muscle and would encourage anyone looking to improve their overall fitness level, to call or visit their location ASAP.
Thank you very much Mind to Muscle!

"I’d like to thank Rick and all the staff at Mind to Muscle for helping me to reach my potential and more. The personalized attention I get during my workouts not only pushes me in the gym, but has also helped me achieve success on the water. I can feel the improvement after every workout and it helps keep me injury free during the season.  It is much more than just a physical workout, it has truly helped connect my body to my mind.  The personalized attention has really helped me to understand the mental side of sport."

I think (as a parent) this is something every young athlete should experience; it allows them to see what commitment is required to excel to the upper level of their sport.  Keith doesn't see this; but by simply being immersed or surrounded by dedicated and talented athletes, it has a positive effect on his personal confidence and dedication to his sport.

"The best athletes are willing to do more than the mediocre athletes.  The expert trainers at Mind To Muscle put together a sport specific program for the Barrie Storm girls softball team.  The intensity of this program prepared these young elite athletes for their competition.  We are proud to exclaim that this team finished 5th in Ontario.  A huge thank you to the staff for their contribution to this success."

"I just wanted to say thank you to all your great staff that has brought Brandon's game to the next level. Your staff has always been personal and professional and are a great asset to your organization. The training systems and programs you have in place have obviously been well researched and tested because the results that Brandon has been getting are truly amazing. His on ice performance has excelled to the next level. His foot speed alone would give Usain Bolt a run for his money.  Brandon will continue to train during this hockey season in an effort to take his game to an even higher level. Once again, thank you to all of you for what you do."

"I really appreciate all the great work you've done in dealing with the players, the manager, and especially the coaches of this team. There has been plenty of positive feedback from the parents and players on your program. I learned a lot as well. All the exercises on the core,  speed, and stability were a perfect addition to the soccer side of things. As well,  I hadn't even heard of dynamic stretching in October (!). Now it is a big part of our routine. The girls are even telling their school coaches to do it. They are a fantastic group of girls and the Mind to Muscle experience has given them a great springboard to the outdoor season. Besides the physical and mental strength they gained,  going to your facility was instrumental in building team cohesion."

"Wanted to express my thanks to the coaches and staff at Mind to Muscle Camp at KBS. My daughter, Victoria, attended this week and she enjoyed the camp so much she practically ran into the school every day. The coaches were so professional and I thought the names they had were so funny. She told me about the speakers and loved the sports. I felt the camp was safe, fun, educational and well run and I was comfortable leaving her there every day. Congratulations on a great first week - she is looking forward to two more great weeks at your fantastic camp!
