Testimonials

"Honestly, there cannot be enough good things to say about APECS. Going into my senior year now at Franklin High School I have been training here for almost 3 years.  I have been able to increase my bench press to over 300lbs, while my chin-up technique and strength has made drastic improvements year after year. I was able to end my junior year without a single fumble, from the start of camp to our Thanksgiving Day game. The instant strengthening techniques have allowed me to increase my front squat to over 300 pounds, with proper deep squatting technique.  At APECS, athletes do not simply pay there monthly dues and set off on their own. They are provided with a workout program and a plethora of PICP strength coaches that can help them in uncountable ways, from perfecting a lift technique to giving proper nutritional guidance. The competitive atmosphere and vast range of knowledge provided by the APECS facility and its talented staff is one of a kind and can be found no where else. APECS is a dream come true for any serious athlete."

"I began my training at APECS I was a young 7^th grader and now upon entering my senior year in high school my body could not be in better physical condition.  APECS is the fuel that has always fed my athletic career.  The success of being a three sport varsity all-star is attributed to the hard work of the APECS staff.  The type of training that one receives at APECS is something that no other place can offer.  Along with the outstanding physical success an athlete receives, he or she will also make a great group of friends.  All of the staff members and regular members of the APECS world are some of the nicest and most dedicated people I have ever met.  As soon as I walk through the door a second wind hits me and I become re-energized and invigorated even if I was having my worst day or best day.  Just being in APECS and talking to the people associated with it, I get a mental energy that raises my intensity through the workout and increases my performance each and every time.  I have to say that without APECS I would not be anywhere near the level of success I am at now!"

"Serious athletes require serious training environments. APECS is the only training facility in the Metro West area and one of the few facilities in New England equipped with proper Olympic weightlifting platforms, an arsenal of Strongman implements, and training essentials like the Glute Ham Raise. I wouldn't bother training anywhere else. The APECS staff is personable and knowledgeable of a variety of effective training methods and will help prepare serious athletes in any sport or discipline."

 "I had never been interested in lifting before this summer. I knew I had to become stronger and faster before my first college lacrosse season, so I started training at APECS. In under two months of APECS training, I have gained 8 pounds of muscle, increasing my max bench by 40 pounds and my max squat by 60 pounds. I had never squatted before this summer, and am now doing 265 for 5 and maxing at over 300 pounds. The APECS staff was extremely helpful in assisting me with learning the proper form and technique for all exercises, and I feel much more confident about my strength and speed heading into my freshman year of college."

"After training at APECS since my freshman year of high school, I now understand why the unique methodology here is so effective. Not only does APECS offer an outstanding variety of training options, but fitness programs are tailored to the individual athlete’s needs by sport or training objective. APECS had turned me into a better lacrosse player and taught me the value of focused, efficient workouts. I am confident that anyone who trains here will agree that the unrivaled level of instructor knowledge coupled with the vast array of unique workout equipment keep APECS in a league of its own for athletic training."

"As a former active duty and now full time National Guard soldier, I thought that the military offered the most demanding and comprehensive strength/conditioning program, until I started to attend APECS Adult Boot Camp Classes. I have personally smashed through my training plateaus and achieved amazing results in my strength development and personal health.

Training at APECS has helped me max the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) even at the age of 39 and propelled me to finish first out of 16 soldiers.

Two other fellow soldiers training at APECS finished 2nd and 3rd in the APFT. This is not a coincidence - this is high quality training that will push you to your physical and mental limits. There is no other training facility like it!"

"Over the years I have belonged to more than a few gyms and health clubs. APECS is by far the most positive facility I have experienced. Any given day you can find serious college athletes, moms, and business men training on modern equipment, supervised by knowledgeable caring staff. The staff and clients are friendly, positive, and motivated. Whether your training for peak performance or just getting back in shape, APECS is a good call. The BioSignature program at APECS took the guess work out of nutrition and supplementation by developing an individualized protocol based on my body composition. With this information I was able to build lean muscle, strengthen my immune system, and train injury free."

Michael T Souza, R.N

"Training at APECS throughout my high school career gave me an edge over my opponents in lacrosse. I put on 7 pounds of muscle for my senior season after a winter of training with the APECS staff. My lacrosse team also did group sessions every year which played a huge part in our success. It is amazing to see peoples strength and speed improve so quickly at APECS. I always look forward to working out because of the positive atmosphere APECS provides."

Jake Smith

UMASS Lacrosse Player, HS All-American

“By working out at APECS I have been able to train harder than ever, while remaining injury free.  By fight night I am at my absolute physical best. The instant muscle strengthening techniques are unbelievable. They have brought my strength and striking power to another level. After preparing with the strength coaches at APECS I was able to knockout my last opponent in 90 seconds!! From the modified strongman training and metabolic intervals to the instantaneous strength gains and nutritional consultations, APECS has been an integral part of my boxing career. If you are looking for a legitimate strength and conditioning facility, APECS is the best around. PERIOD!!!”

“For my last set of squats I did 2 reps at 405. After 5 minutes with one of the APECS strength coaches, I did one more set of 405, and did 7 reps.  The techniques are ridicules. It is amazing what the strength coaches here are doing.”

Matthew Sidebottom

“On my first day back for the summer I maxed out at 225 for 4 reps in the bench press. 3 minutes later after some work with one of the APECS strength coaches I did 225 for 7. It is now 6 weeks later and I just did 225 for 10!!!”

Brett Moore

“My full squat went from 265 for 1 at the beginning of the summer to 305 for 3 at the end of the summer. I am doing power cleans with 230lbs and jumping onto 36-40 inch boxes. The instant strengthening techniques and exercise prescription are the best. I have been training at APECS since my sophomore year in high school and have gotten better every year.”

"I am currently playing D1 college lacrosse and have been working out at APECS for about 3 years.  APECS not only helped me to stand out in high school athletics but also put me at the top of my class in college lacrosse.  APECS allows athletes to surpass others who work out in a traditional weight facilities.  The APECS staff and their methods are exceptional. At the beginning of the 2008 summer I weighed about 179 pounds.  After a very successful summer of training I am now deep squatting 300lbs for 3, bench pressing 285lbs for 3 reps, and weighing in at 196 pounds with 7% body-fat. The results from the instant muscle strengthening techniques, modified strongman training and exercise protocols used at APECS are unbelievable.”"

"I have been working out for many years and have tried many different programs but none that compare to APECS.  I was skeptical at first about APECS but when I saw the results, I was sold.  APECS makes working out fun and makes people push themselves.  Because it is mainly athletes, the training is very competitive and creates an enjoyable environment.  I have gotten bigger, faster, stronger and love working out now that I train at APECS.  The gym is never too crowded, the staff is knowledgeable and the facility is always improving.  I would not train anywhere else."

Lane Kirshe

“I witnessed an athlete performing deep squats with green bands. He had 315lbs on the bar and missed on his first rep. He then began unloading the bar when one of the strength coaches pulled him aside and performed some instant strengthening techniques on him. He then ran back over to the bar and successfully completed a set of 5 deep reps with a weight he could not do for one just minutes before!! The things they are doing at this place are amazing”

Jeremy Shea

"After many years of traditional gym workouts and classes, I was seeking something exciting and unconventional to challenge both my body and my mind.  Though I didn't know exactly what I was looking for, I found it in APECS.  From my very first visit to an Adult Athletic Boot Camp class, I felt challenged in a way I hadn't been in years - actually, ever.  The trainers at APECS use such a variety of techniques, the workouts are always unexpected and surprising, never dull and repetitive.  They somehow know how to pull the very best out of all the members, and support them as they achieve their goals.  To train at APECS is to know what it feels like to completely exhaust your body, but still somehow be able to perform a little longer.  Personally, training at APECS has translated into an increased strength that has shown up in other parts of my life.  I walk out of APECS after a grueling session, and feel empowered, both physically and mentally.  APECS has given me everything I was looking for, and more."

"After just a few months of working out at APECS, it amazes us to see the difference in our son, P.J.   We can see that he performs better than we ever thought possible and we know that he would not have accomplished this without APECS.  APECS is an entirely new discipline that has changed the way he exercises and at the same time, making it fun and keeping him interested, by motivating him to go to the next level, with positive feedback.  We would recommend this program to any athlete who wants to improve their athletic abilities."

"APECS is the ultimate resource for the serious competitor and athlete.  It combines excellent facilities and equipment, cutting-edge training programs and techniques, and the most knowledgeable and committed staff.  The atmosphere inspires hard work and the trainers get the most out of their athletes.  APECS has been indispensable in my preparation for college."

I can honestly say that I love working out because of APECS.  I didn't really understand how people could become addicted to working out, but now I do.  I feel great when I leave APECS.  I feel like I have accomplished something every time I finish one of the workouts.  When you go to APECS, you want to work hard and get the most out of it .  That is why I feel thoroughly prepared to play college volleyball in the fall!"
