He is at the gym five days per week.  Joseph is always eager to help set up for a class, assists with day to day gym functions and will willingly perform any task without any push back.  

From Mr. and Mrs. Rampey:

• How long has Joseph been training (off/on) with goperformance?

  • Joseph has been training for 7 years at Go – as often as possible while playing multiple sports.

• Why did you choose to send him to this training facility initially?

  • We like the gym’s focus of total fitness, core strength and speed – not only how much weight they can bench & squat.

• What improvements specifically have you noticed in the past 6 months?

  • Personal confidence

  • Athletic confidence

  • Gaining muscle mass & definition

  • Improved feet movement/quickness 

• Describe how the training complements the practice and training he receives at the school.

  • The goperformance training does just that – complements & enhances the workouts at the school!  The workouts never interfered with school practices or training.  It has improved his quickness and overall speed.  It has really helped Joseph recover and get his confidence back after surgery on his ankle.

• Is there anything else you would like to add about his experience at goperformance?

  • The classes offered through goperformance always worked well around his busy schedule.

  • We appreciate the individual attention shown by all the trainers at goperfomance

  • We love that Lane stays involved in the community by attending sporting events to watch his clients compete. We’ve seen him interact with all athletes – cheerleaders, track athletes, football players, etc.

  • We feel goperformance was an integral part of Joseph achieving his goal of playing football at the next level.

Joseph:

• What improvements specifically have you noticed since training at goperformance?

  • I have noticed huge jumps in my speed, explosiveness, and all-around strength.

• You work out with several athletes that you also play sports with – describe the camaraderie and experience that you have working out at 630am in the morning.

  • Doing the 6:30am workouts together brings in a feeling of family more than ever.  This helps us push each other farther than we thought possible.

• What are your goals over the next 6 months?

  • My goals are to increase my speed and explosiveness.

• Describe the training culture at goperformance.

  • The culture at goperformance can be described in one word: family. Through all my years at Go, there’s always someone there to spot me or have a great conversation with.

• As our work based learning intern, you’ve had a behind the scenes look at coaching and training.  What have you learned from shadowing coaches and spending the weekday mornings at goperformance with our staff?

  • I have learned how much effort the coaches give to the clients and how much time they spend in order to have the gym we know and love today.  I personally wouldn’t have made it as far as I have without their time & effort.

• Anything else you would like to add about your training and experience at goperformance? 

  • I have gained friends & mentors and created bonds with the people in this gym.  I am thankful for all they do for me. Without Lane and the other coaches at Go, I wouldn’t have the chance to play college football.
