My name is Riley Moll, I am 14 years old, I attend Immaculata Academy where I play volleyball. I am participating in a 10 week program to help increase my strength, agility, speed, and vertical. I am only half way through the program and I already feel results. When playing, I feel I can jump higher, get to the ball quicker using different techniques, and can hit the ball harder. Jason and the instructors teach you helpful techniques to improve all of your skills. They are so nice and never let you give up. I had never done a workout program before and I didnt know what to expect. I was so glad to find out that my 1st experience of a progam like this would be as great as it is. Specifically, i have increased how hard I hit the ball, and how fast i get to the ball. The instructors have taught me ways to get to the ball without using wasted movements. When we work on our upper body strength, I can feel my muscles getting bigger. When I go to hit the ball, I feel more force behind it. The experience of working with the Treo team is wonderful. They help you do the exercises right so that you will benefit from them. I love coming to workouts and I am so glad I chose to do it.

I began training at Treo Sports and Fitness in October 2010. I was brought here to improve my strength, speed, and quickness on the softball diamond. Over the next five months, my softball teammates and I worked vigorously with Jason and his staff two nights a week.

I began to notice improvements in my sports performance about one month into the program, when I played basketball. I noticed that I was running faster with better stamina, less fatigue, and more endurance. I also felt that I had more upper body strength, and as a result, I was able to shoot the basketball better, because I had more control of the ball. Jason also helped relieve chronic pain in the elbow of my throwing arm, by showing me an efficient way to throw. I am very thankful for this, because it is very difficult to perform well in sports when pain is being endured.

Training at Treo Sports and Fitness has been a tremendous experience for me. I not only learned fun resourceful exercises, but I have learned that anything worth having in life is earned by working hard for it. Although I am small as an individual, I can achieve most anything in life because I know how to work for it. Since working with Jason and the others, I have earned a spot on my school’s varsity softball team as a sophomore. I am very thankful for all the patience and encouragement provided by the trainers at Treo Sports and Fitness.

Jump training was the best thing that I have done to make myself a better athlete.  It not only got me to jump higher but it also got me faster.  My first day (of training), I was a little nervous because I didn’t know what we were going to do or how hard this class was going to be.  However, Jason made the class hard and fun at the same time.  He would always know when to push me and when not to.  He always would ask us about our day and we would talk about everything which made the class more fun and comfortable.  I am the kind of person that needs a trainer to push me 110% ever time and Jason was the perfect person to do it.  This class not only helped me in volleyball, but it helped me in every sport I play.  I am definitely going to do this I years to come because Jason is the best.

In the beginning of the program I was very unsure what workouts we were going to do because it was the first time that I have ever had a trainer.  I could say I was a little anxious to start this program.  The first day we met Jason, I was expecting him to be some crazy guy that would scream and yell, but instead he was a really nice guy.  Throughout the program we created a bond.  We would talk about sports and what crazy things we did that week.  Each session got harder and harder, but the harder we worked there, the better the athlete we would become.  We would do many workouts within the 1 ½ hour sessions we had.  Before every workout we would see how much we improved from the last session.  I had a great experience doing Jump Training with Jason Long.

Before signing up for the 3 month strength training program taught by Jason Long of TREO Sports and Fitness, I had tried different ways to try and improve my game.  Whether it be going to the gym or working out with a personal trainer, I just wasn’t getting the results I wanted.  So when I heard of TREO Sports and Fitness I was at first a little skeptical, but once the program got started, I was glad I made that choice.  As the program continued on I really saw an improvement in my game.  I was moving to balls quicker, blocking and hitting a lot stronger, and I also saw an increase in my vertical with each passing week.  Jason really helped push me to do the best that I could do.  Within that hour (of training) we would do core strength, leg and arm workouts as well as injury prevention.  I really liked how each time I went we would change up the exercises so that we wouldn’t be doing the same thing every time.  It was good to try something new where in the end you would see the results you wanted.  So even if you’re at all skeptical about trying Jason Long’s TREO Sports ad Fitness program, just try it.  You’ll be glad you made that choice, because I’m sure glad I did!

Recently, I started taking classes at TREO Sports and Fitness to help me enhance my performance, particularly in softball.  Jason Long teaches the class.  He was a great coach and was very helpful.  I hoped to be a faster runner and be lighter on my feet.  At my first session, I was a little skeptical because I doubted that the exercises we did would make me a better softball player, but I was completely wrong!  We did stretches and exercises that were very beneficial because I do feel faster and lighter on my feet.  If someone was unsure about the speed training classes, I would tell them they give you exercises that are going to help improve your game and that you will see better results than ever before.  If you take these classes, you will become a better athlete.

Dear Mr. Long,

Fantastic, Unbelievable, Intense would be a few of the words that would describe your 6-week “Jump” start program.  When we first met for the evaluation, I thought you were a bit optimistic with your projections.  I didn’t make things any easier with my limited schedule.  My initial concerns was to increase my vertical jump, but soon learned there is much more.  Endurance, stamina and how to prevent injury all play a critical role in athletics.  I’ve attended many clinics and had many coaches, so believe me when I tell you; your message was ON POINT.  Your drills were organized and arranged to maximize performance.  At times when the drills got a bit grueling, your style and manner made things easier to complete.

I know that my vertical jump and my game has improved not only by the charts ad measurements we do in class, but I’m getting comments from teammates and coaches. I honestly feel stronger too!

I’m I the middle of basketball season (point guard) now, but I’m looking forward to working with you in February to get my arm ready for baseball season (pitcher).  I’m enjoying a greatly improved volleyball season (right side hitter).  Please feel free to use me as a reference.

Thank you,

“…After a few sessions of doing this exercise I could already tell I was getting quicker and I was able to dig balls that I normally wouldn’t be able to get to. “…after only a few sessions I could already tell that my lateral movement had become faster. I could especially tell this in my blocking because I was able to put up double and triple blocks a lot more by moving faster from side to side along the net.

I started with Jason and Emily earlier this year to help me lose the extra pounds I gained while working a crazy crazy schedule. Not only have I shed the pounds, but I’ve become much stronger and I’m now quicker on the volleyball court too (added bonus!). I’ve also gained some confidence that I was truly lacking after my weight gain. They provided me not only with ways to work out but how to lose the weight and begin a healthier lifestyle with the right diet as well. I can honestly say that I don’t consider this a “diet” but a new way of life that I embrace each day. Both Emily and Jason have been incredibly supportive and always willing to work with me and my crazy schedule. They push me to my limits and sometimes even further to ensure I get the most out of every minute I’m working out. I can’t express enough how much I needed this giant step in the right direction and I recommend their programs each and everyday.

“…The workouts went above my expectations and before I knew it, I was moving up and down the court like never before.. I have also found that I am much stronger all around. For a long time I hoped to pursue a collegiate career of pursuing basketball. This program really contributed to that goal becoming a reality.

I trained with Jason during the NFVB club season to boost my game and I really enjoyed it. I got personal attention and a workout that was just for me, and I knew that the JUMP Start Program would be no different and that’s why I did it.

I hoped to improve my vertical of both my block and approach jump, also to be faster on the court so I could be a more versatile player. Jason pushed me with different exercises that helped me achieve these goals. He has also helped me strengthen my knees to prevent injury to them again. The training sessions were never the same and I always had so much fun during the hour and fifteen minute workout session. We did a lot of different exercises including, medicine balls, lunges, vertec training, core work and much more. All the exercises were something new and different and helped my game greatly.
I feel like I am moving faster to close blocks, jumping higher and getting more touches. My defense has improved; I’m picking up a lot more balls then before. This program really worked! If your looking to improve your game or even just stay in shape this program is for you, give it a try and you won’t regret it.

Jason Long has worked in the Nichols Athletic Department as the Performance Enhancement Coach for a year and the results have been outstanding. Jason and his team teach how to build core strength, power, flexibility and agility in young athletes. At Nichols we were able to assign Jason to each of our varsity teams on a regular basis and he was able to develop a training regiment for each team specific to the skills needed to improve performance in that sport. He and his staff had a wonderful rapport with our athletes and his work has helped our athletes reach a new level of preparedness for competition. At first we were somewhat skeptical and unsure of the benefits a service like Jason’s could bring to our athletic program. However, after seeing Jason work with our athletes we were sold. The experience of working with Jason and his team has been a pleasure and of great benefit to Nichols School. I give him my most sincere recommendation.

I participated in the 6 week JUMP Start program taught by Jason Long of TREO Sports & Fitness. I was a little skeptical at first, but soon realized there was nothing to be skeptical about. This program really worked!

I wanted to take my game to the next level and thought moving faster on the court and jumping higher would get me there. So I signed up for this program, and it really helped. Jason was a great instructor who pushed us during the sessions in order for us to get the maximum results. We did a ton of different exercises during the hour session, not just the same ones over and over again. We did ladders, agility work, medicine ball work, ab work, injury prevention work, and so much more. It all benefited my game greatly. The drills we did were different and unique; they were nothing like anything I had done before. It was really great to try something new and have it work.

I definitely feel I’m jumping higher and moving faster on the court. I’ve been able to block a ton more balls and pick up more balls on defense than I was able to before. This program did wonders for my game and you should definitely try it. You won’t regret it. I sure didn’t!

My daughter tried volleyball her freshman year and loved it. She was new to the sport and wanted to improve and get stronger…”She started working with Jason before club practice during her sophomore year. That’s when we started to see a lot of improvement. Her hitting is getting more powerful, serving was something she struggled with and that is really improving. She also gets a lot lower for serve receive and higher for blocking. The are so many little tips and things that Jason has showed her that have helped her on the court. She only played the middle position before training; her club coach noticed the difference and started playing her outside. At home we see her doing exercises Jason has shown her. When the summer program with Jason started she wanted to do that also, what a great help that was! When school practice started in August she was ready and in condition. Now beginning her junior year she’s playing outside and parents and coaches have noticed a difference. My daughter seems more confident and knowledgeable with the sport and her abilities. We see her passing on tips and showing other players things Jason has taught her. She even said she would love to be a coach one day! As a parent I would highly recommend sending your child to TREO with Jason, you will be so pleased you did. He works on so much with them and shows them what they were doing wrong, then helps them fix it. She looks forward to working with Jason again!

Since training with TREO it stepped my game up to the next level. Having Jason Long as my trainer, he has helped me with my speed and strength. Before I was introduced to his training I didn’t see much improvement with the weights. On the squat rack my max was about 315 lbs, now since I’ve been training with Jason long I took that 315lbs and increased it to 380 lbs. In speed and agility my 40 yd dash was a 4.9 since I started training it became a whopping 4.66. I hope to take all that he taught me and use it on the football field as a senior at JFK.

When Jason asked what I wanted to accomplish in my time with him, I hit him with everything: I wanted to be bigger, faster, stronger, gain weight, have better balance, you name it, I was after it. All of these goals and just eight visits to obtain them. Obviously, with such time constraints they couldn’t all be reached, right? Wrong. Jason took every minute necessary and then some to help me advance in all of these areas. He took on the challenge of working with someone who had very specific requests and ailments. I asked that he make me a better hockey player, worked around my past injuries and also take Crohn’s Disease into account when working with me.

Jason showed up to our first session with a full diet prepared for me working with what I could and couldn’t eat. He even offered other readings that I hadn’t heard of the help me get ahead and stay fit. Being specific about hockey, Jason researched what I was looking for and quickly developed a program that worked for me focusing on balance and core strength. He was challenging but supportive. He knew when to push me and when to give me an extra breather.

By the end of my four weeks, I had grown in every area that I inquired about. My weight went up, I was lifting more weight associated with hockey style movements and my skating and shooting was enhanced so much that people started asking me what I was doing after just a couple of weeks. What I was doing was following Jason’s lead. I highly suggest Jason and TREO to anyone who wants to become healthier and happier. He’s a great teacher and first class individual.

“…Each week I could feel myself progressing whether it was doing the drills faster or generally speeding up. As a soccer player, speed and agility are fundamental parts of the game. By signing up for this program, the changes on the field have been quite apparent. Through Jason, I learned to run, change directions, and step more efficiently. Jason was a great instructor who kindly pushed us to do our best, but also made me look forward to every session each week. If we had questions on drills or ways to step, he would easily answer and correct us. This program has definitely helped me take my game to the next level. I believe that I am faster; I change direction more efficiently, and can easily cut the ball with better balance. I would definitely recommend this to athletes who wish to become more serious with their game.

…”After about four to five sessions I really noticed that my ability to land on the court had become so much sturdier that I could get right back into the action of the game without­ falling or hurting my ankle… So, he had me do a couple of things and once again before I knew it, I was spiking the volleyballs like I had never done before… I was told things that I never would have even taken a guess as to being the problem in my performance on the court… It’s one decision you most definitely wont forget because I know I won’t…”
