Testimonials

What Our Athletes Think About Speed School

“I am a pediatric physiotherapist working in Calgary and I have had the privilege of collaborating with Calgary Speed School on a number of athletes. Their programming is evidence-based and executed insanely well. I would highly recommend their training to anyone with a young athlete in sport.”

“Such an amazing program! My son is participating in the spring program and loves going each week. I have never seen him this excited for a program he has participated in before. He wants to continue with the program after the 6 weeks is done. The trainers are fun, friendly and really encourage the kids.”

"Speed School has become a very important part of our sons hockey development. Working with Matt has allowed our son to build out a realistic plan to help him reach his goals. Matt is personable and has an ability to push his athletes to become better each and everyday. I have been impressed everyday and see a noticeable change in my sons overall physical strength, his speed and confidence."

"The coaches at Speed School have been phenomenal! They increase speed, strength and confidence in the athletes that they train. My son has really enjoyed his training on and off the ice!! He always looks forward to going to all of the sessions. Matt and Nick are both personable, and go above and beyond every day! They truly care about your athlete. Thanks guys for making our experience a great one!!"

"My boys, 15 & 13 years old, have been going to Speed School since they opened. Matt & Nick have been incredible! Their programs are adaptable to every fitness level (even I have taken part in the training they offer) and are delivered in a professional manner. The Coaches are engaging and put the “fun” in functional training; they are knowledgeable and provide a motivational training environment. My boys always have a great time!"

"The coaches at Speed School do an amazing job with the players. My son worked with them for the last few months seeing great improvement in speed, agility and technique. Coach Nick took extra care to work around my son’s injury and showed him exercises to strengthen the area to avoid further injury while still maintaining a high level of activity and development. Highly recommend these guys to help improve skills for all ages of athletes."
