"Mind to Muscle has developed and delivered a High-Performance program for our Barrie Colts players that stands out as one of the best in the OHL. Their staff provides pro-level care, support, training, and development, consistently exceeding our expectations. The professionalism and expertise they bring to our team have been exceptional. We frequently receive outstanding feedback from our players and NHL prospects, highlighting how crucial Mind to Muscle’s services are in shaping their careers and preparing them for the next level."
“Our team completed the mental performance session a few weeks back. Feedback from athletes and parents was 100% positive. The kids were very receptive and engaged during the session and had much to say to their parents about what they learned. The example of visualizing using your senses, the three things that keep you mentally focused/reset and their animal as a symbol were their biggest takeaways. As a coaching staff we have asked the athletes to put the three things and their "animal", in their stall before games and refer to them often. Preparation, Focus and visualization are things we have talked about in our discussions with the kids but this was different. It reinforced what we talk about but also gave them tools on how to do that. I think every coach and more importantly every athlete could benefit from these sessions. We are looking forward to the next session in November.”
" I wanted to thank you personally for the great experience that the team had with you at Mind to Muscle. Emir was an excellent leader for them, you pushed them physically and mentally to be resilient, and all of them had a great time with the winter training program. Many of them, including my own son, have remarked how much they learned and how much more they want to build strength training into their lives. Great job and very much appreciated; please extend my gratitude to the other coaches that worked with you."
" Our Barrie Soccer Club 2012Girls really enjoyed working with the Mind to Muscle team this winter session. M2M provided a strength and conditioning tailored program that focused on our players improvement, which resulted in a noticeable enhancement in overall body strength and balance over the course of the training sessions. Thank you Isiah, Emir and the rest of the staff that created an environment that was safe and fun for our team. Incorporating Mind to Muscle into our training program has allowed the coaches to focus on technical and tactical training, knowing the Mind to Muscle has prepared our players physically."
“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."
" We had a great experience with Mind to Muscle and your awesome trainers! Kids loved it (hardest a few of those kids had ever worked!) Can't thank Justin and Laura Ellen enough for their professionalism and enthusiasm with our group. We'll certainly be looking forward to sessions in the future. Next time I think we'll explore the pre and post fitness testing at your facility as well. Thanks a bunch- what a great start for our new program."
" Mind to Muscle has always been our team’s choice for training due to their leading edge approach to training, having excellent coaches and always accommodating our schedules. The coaches that our athletes deal with directly, prepare players for the next level. Players have seen significant improvements in strength and performance while minimizing injuries. Over the last 10 months, the schedules have been continually changing with Covid rules & protocols, and they have been very accommodating while switching from in person to virtual workouts…all adapted to very quickly by M2M!"
" Our goal as an association is to promote physical, mental, social and technical development. This agreement helps us achieve the physical long-term development goals of our players, coaches and parents. M2M has been widely recognized as a leader in strength and conditioning for athletic development in our region, and we are certainly pleased to have them as our partner."
" I'm very pleased with the partnership between M2M and the Trojans. I'm seeing and hearing all great things. Thank you and the whole staff for doing such a great job for all of the athletes. "
" 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."
" As a figure skater, I know that nutrition is important. Last summer I went to see the M2M Sports Nutritionist, Greg, so he could help me get ready for university. We looked at my daily meals, then we worked on meal planning. I realized I needed more protein. We talked about healthy food choices and we talked about budget. Then we went to the local grocery store and spent two hours going down each row. I learned how to read labels, choose fruits and veggies, look for deals and stay on budget. I've been away from home for 6 months now, and I am a really good shopper. I eat healthy food, and I know that I couldn't have done it without Greg!"
“Mind to Muscle has had a very positive impact on myself since I joined them a few years back. All of the staff are great people who are able to get the best out of you every time you walk into the gym. The atmosphere is always amazing. You continuously see improvements in yourself every summer. I can't thank M2M enough for everything so far and can't wait for years to come"
"Before I started at Mind to Muscle, strength and conditioning was an element that I was greatly lacking. I always found myself a step behind both in the gym and on the ice. After working with Coach Greg during the past three off-seasons, I have been able to vastly improve my strength and conditioning, which has allowed me to bring my on-ice abilities to the next level! I couldn't be more thankful that Mind to Muscle not only continually challenges me to get better, but has also equipped me with the tools I need in order to compete with the best female hockey players in the world!"
" I am a professional soccer player and as a frequent user of Mind to Muscle Facility during my off season I can say without hesitation that the facility is a game-changer for athletes, as their expertise in managing athletes and the equipment and programs available are excellent. The staff is very knowledgeable and will work with you towards attaining your goals. It is almost like being part of another team away from your principal team. Highly recommend! Devon Kerr, Washington Spirit NWSL "
"Thanks so much for getting me started at Mind to Muscle. It's been a game changer for me. The strength and mobility training I've been receiving have helped even in my daily life. It's amazing the toll life takes on the 46 year old body. LOL This was the first year where I qualified for the Ontario Mid Amateur, Ontario Amateur, Canadian Amateur (all ages including 18/19 year olds attending UCLA and Wake Forest that I played with) and I attribute it to my training at M2M. My actual performance in the events were nothing to brag about but half the battle is just making it into the tournaments. Thanks again and I have to say that all the staff are top notch and are always complementary and very helpful from the front desk to the chiropractors and of course the strength coaches. Awesome!"
" Ever since I joined M2M’s offseason program three years ago, I’ve noticed my game get better every year. Every offseason I leave stronger and faster which has helped me get to higher levels in my career the past three seasons. M2M has helped in a variety of ways, whether in the gym, getting treatment or nutritional counselling. Thank you to Greg and the M2M staff for all your help so far, and looking forward to continuing to spend my offseasons at M2M!"
" My son, Aidan, is absolutely loving the sessions!!! Thank you for everything you are doing with the team. He never wants to miss a Monday session which speaks to how much he enjoys the his time there. Happy Parent"
Mind to Muscle has had a very big impact on me as a player and as a person. Working with Greg and the coaches at M2M, you see first hand how invested they are to making you better. The programs they develop are so specific to your needs and what you want to improve on. If your willing to put in the work, M2M will help you make massive offseason improvements. What I love the most is the coaches make coming to the gym enjoyable; building friendships and bonds with all of there athletes. Thank you M2M for all you have done for me and my career so far!"
" The difference in my son's performance on the ice (hockey) and on the field (rugby) is astounding. He looks forward to each and every session and how your coaches encourage him to push his own limits."
" Mind to Muscle has been very instrumental to my hockey career, training with them since I was 12 years old. Coach Greg & the staff are experts in their field and put together training programs that directly benefit hockey players and show results. In 2018, Coach Greg helped me prepare for the NHL combine and helped me place top 10 in most events! The M2M team pushes me every offseason to be stronger and faster than ever before. Mind to Muscle has done everything possible off the ice, helping me sign an NHL contract this season. I look forward to getting in the gym this offseason and preparing for puck drop in the fall. Thank you M2M! "
"Going to Mind to Muscle over the years has really allowed me to grow as an athlete. I used to dread going to the gym to workout, but at Mind to Muscle there is always the right atmosphere and motivation to push yourself to get better. Without the help of all the coaches, especially Coach Greg, I wouldn’t be where I am today, having the opportunity to play hockey at the University of Toronto. The support of the coaches there is always amazing whether I was getting over an injury or needed the extra push to reach my goals. I can’t thank the team enough for all their help and support."
