Testimonials

Jarome Iginla - Calgary Flames
"I've really enjoyed working out with Athletes Nation (Dan LaJoie) for the past 3 summers. I think their focus on speed and power has helped me on the ice during and in preparation for games. I've always had the mentality 'push, push, go harder!'. Dan has helped me to find more of a balance in that area and learn the importance of rest and recovery, to go along with challenging yourself. This has helped me to be quicker on the ice, but just as importantly feel more rested and ready to go for games."

Kyle Brodziak - Edmonton Oilers

This summer, he taught me a lot about my body, and how to maximize its potential. I am now stronger, faster and more ready than I've ever been to start the hockey season."

"Training with Athletes Nation for the past 6 years has dramatically improved my athletic ability. With sports evolving into the bigger/stronger/faster mentality, Dan has given me the competitive edge to excel at every level. Each off-season I spend training with Dan and the Athletes Nation team, they have physically prepared me for the demanding NCAA schedule I face. Without the knowledge of Dan and the resources of Athletes Nation I wouldn't have accomplished what I have and I would not be where I am today. I owe a lot of my success to this program and I strongly encourage and recommend any serious athlete to allow yourself to reach your maximum potential by training at Athletes Nation."
