"Working with Athletic Dynamics helped elevate our total team fitness. We were looking for a way to give us an edge over our competition and Athletic Dynamics was the answer. Mark and his staff has been a tremendous asset to our basketball program. Mark made our workouts very basketball specific and was able to explain their importance to our players. We are so happy with our relationship with Athletic Dynamics that we asked them to become part of our summer basketball camp."

"We have used the resources of Mark Van Leuven and Athletic Dynamics for the past two years. I can tell you first hand that we have seen a significant improvement in our players overall strength, agility and quickness. The sessions that we’ve had are sport specific and translate directly to our player’s performance on the field. Athletic Dynamics is the best and I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else for our player’s strength and agility needs."

“What I learned most from working with Athletic Dynamics is the importance for a pitcher of developing your core. Throwing isn't all in the arm as many people think it is.”

“Anytime you improve upon your balance and footwork your mobility will increase. I saw improvements in my lateral range.”

"Athletic Dynamics understands athletes and what it takes to prepare them for competition and protect them from injury. They challenge the individual with conditioning routines that interest, motivate and entertain."

"Our softball team went from being a good team one year to being league champions the next year. The only difference in the two years was that Athletic Dynamics worked regularly with our athletes during the winning season - our players were injury free and in significantly better shape. Athletic Dynamics deserves a part of our trophy!"

"The workouts designed for our athletes are sport specific and our players see a definite connection between the workouts and their competition. Working with Athletic Dynamics has given our players a shared experience and helped our group come together as a team."

"Our goal is to build the complete hockey player. Being in business for 12 years, we have taught hockey players the necessary on ice skills. In order to truly be a complete hockey player, they need to train off the ice as well. Athletic Dynamics brings that missing component to our program."
