"Endeavor has the best facility, programs, and coaches around. If you play hockey and aren't training there you're crazy."

James Van Riemsdyk, Philadelphia Flyers (NHL)


“Since Brianna has been training with Endeavor Fitness her overall strength, conditioning and endurance have dramatically improved.  As soon as the spring soccer season started we noticed significant improvement in her ability to move on the soccer field.  

One of the most noticeable improvements was in her confidence. She was not only physically  faster and stronger, but mentally she felt faster and stronger.  

I would personally recommend Endeavor Fitness to anyone looking to improved the overall physical and mental conditioning of any young athlete.  On top of that Endeavor Fitness has a first class training facility with some of the best trainers in the industry, not simply because they are certified, but because they care.”

Paul Donahue, Head Coach Harrison SC Charge


“The Hockey Training led by Kevin Neeld at Endeavor Fitness has helped me reach goals throughout the summer that were beyond my expectations. Since Day 1 I have left the facility feeling stronger and more confident. The attention to detail and the workouts have made me stronger mentally and physically. After 3 months of training I can already feel drastic improvements in my quickness and speed on the ice. I have never felt results like this in 5 years of training! 

Endeavor is one of the only gyms in the world that has all the resources for me to improve every aspect of my game.  The synthetic ice and skating treadmill have helped me improve my shot as well as lengthen my stride and skate at speeds I couldn’t quite push myself to on the ice.

Kevin was great about changing my training program to accommodate my individual needs.  I went through a serious tendon surgery in April that I thought would delay my training drastically.  Following surgery, Kevin set up a specific program for me that would not cause any harm to my thumb and still allowed me to get stronger and train for the upcoming season.  In previous years I would train all summer and develop back pain that made it difficult to keep up with my program.  At Endeavor I haven’t had back pain all summer because of the extensive core work and strengthening of specific surrounding muscles.  After a summer of hockey-specific lifting and conditioning at Endeavor, I feel like I am prepared to compete against professional hockey players.

Without Jared Beach and Kevin Neeld’s passion for the game of hockey, education, and coaching experience I don’t believe I would be where I am today.  I can’t stress enough how incredible Endeavor has been for me.  I would highly recommend it to any athlete striving to play at an elite-level.”

Eric Tangradi, Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL)


“My team started training at Endeavor 4 weeks ago and I already see a difference on the field. I run a pretty high tempo practice. Not only do my girls look faster at the beginning of the practice, but they’re still moving at the same speed at the end. In just 4 sessions, their athleticism AND confidence have grown tremendously.  The improvements in their speed and endurance have surpassed any of my expectations.

As a coach, it’s so great to go to the field knowing that my players’ speed and conditioning work is already taken care of. Now I can spend the entire practice developing skills and tactics. What more can a coach ask for?”

Rodney Reyes, Head Coach Glassboro Breeze


“We can’t say enough good things about Endeavor fitness and their training staff.   Kevin Neeld and his group have been training our son for only 3 months and we have noticed significant improvements in his strength, confidence and most importantly his performance.  I am very impressed with their attention to detail and the individual time they give to each athlete making sure they understand how to properly perform each exercise.  

Our son is very happy with the results so far and he looks forward to coming to the gym.  I would highly recommend Endeavor Fitness to any athlete looking to improve his performance and gain an edge on his/her competition!”

Ron Deysher, Delaware Ducks 12AA


"Our 11 year old son Dan has been training with Kevin Neeld at Endeavor for the past seven months.  He plays travel baseball and basketball and his athleticism and confidence has improved while training there.  The training methods at Endeavor are age appropriate which is imporant to the development of young athletes.

Our son is very happy with the results so far and really looks forward to going to the gym.  We have been very happy with Kevin and the staff at Endeavor and highly recommend them."

Lorraine and Joe Tracy, Washington Township, NJ


"I've been working out with Kevin Neeld and his staff at Endeavor Fitness on improving my golf game and the results have been phenomenal.  I've seen marked increases in strength, flexibility, and core stability that have enabled me to hit the golf ball farther, straighter and more consistently.

Futhermore, Kevin has designed a workout that has not only improved my golf game but also achieved my general health goals like losing weight, gaining strength and looking better.

Kevin and his staff create a positive culture that makes it fun to go to the gym.  They're knowledgable, motivating and are focused on helping you achieve your goals.

In the competitive market of strength & conditioning and sports performance training, Kevin Neeld and Endeavor Fitness are rising stars and I'd strongly recommend working with them- NOW!"

Jeff Swetland, Little Mill C.C. Member


"After 6 weeks of training, I can honestly say my daughter is stronger than ever! When we first came to Endeavor, she was suffering from pretty significant pain in her knee from Osgood-Schlatter. Not only was she in pain, but it was affecting the way she ran. As a result of her training, the pain in her knees has disappeared and she’s running better than ever. We look forward to continuing the relationship with your facility in the months to come. To the entire Endeavor Staff, thank you for your diligence and unwavering commitment to helping your athletes succeed."

Mike Thompson, Philadelphdia Belles


“I was extremely lucky to be able to train at Endeavor Fitness this summer.  Endeavor was recommended to me by a friend and it was everything that I was looking for.  I knew that I needed to get stronger and faster and without a doubt Kevin Neeld has done that for me.  I had a posterior shoulder dislocation several years ago, which is a pretty rare injury.  The surgery has significantly limited my range of motion and strength on that side.  Kevin was able to pinpoint my limitations and help modify my training program, which is something most trainers can’t do.  My shoulders are now stronger than ever.  I also lost over 5 lbs of fat, while still putting on some muscle mass.   Being able to train with professional hockey players every day really drove me to work as hard as possible.  With Kevin designing some amazing training programs I have developed the strength and speed I need to perform well in my first professional season.”

Mike Gershon, Port Huron IceHawks (IHL)


“Endeavor Fitness is a top of the line facility and an incredible training environment. As a current Endeavor client, I look forward to training everyday alongside other elite athletes and under awesome coaches.  Whether you're looking to train for an upcoming sports season or just shred some pounds, Endeavor is the place you want to be!”

Kyle Smith, University of New Hampshire (NCAA D1)

1) Compared to free weights, machines utilize less muscle mass. This means that fewer muscles are getting stronger and fewer calories are being burned in the process.

2) Machines claim to be one size fits all. Everyone is built differently; machines often take people through dangerous ranges of motion.

3) Machines aren't functional. Functional has come to mean a lot of things. Many people think of people standing on stability balls and other circus-like tricks. "Functional" is different for everyone, but there are some commonalities. We all need to walk, which requires single leg stability. Free weight exercises, such as reverse lunges, train all the lower body muscles AND the hip stabilizers. The leg press does not.

The real question then is WHY USE MACHINES AT ALL?

Speed is undoubtedly the most important physical skill in hockey. Nothing will help you stand out from your competition and catch the eyes of other coaches and scouts like game-changing speed and quickness.

Our skating treadmill at Endeavor is an incredible skating tool that is GUARANTEED to improve your speed on the ice. The treadmill helps you train to improve your speed by:

1) Increasing your stride length
2) Increasing your stride power
3) Increasing your stride frequency

Eric Tangradi, the top prospect of the Pittsburgh Penguins, spent the Summer training at Endeavor. When asked about the skating treadmill he said, “The skating treadmill helped me lengthen my stride and skate at speeds I couldn’t quite push myself to on the ice.” Anyone that has seen Eric play this year has commented that he’s skating better than he ever has. It’s an amazing tool to help players of all ages and abilities develop breakaway speed.

I’m excited to let you know that we’ve put together a special skating treadmill discount just for you! 30-minute skating treadmill sessions are usually $35 (still drastically less than other so-called “hockey experts”), but for a limited time you can save $10/session (over 25% off!) by signing up for a monthly package! Even better, if you sign up for a monthly package by February 1st, you can lock in that rate for the rest of 2010!

Call me today at (856) 269-4148 or email me at to take advantage of this special discount and reserve your time slot today!

Every morning, Monday-Thursday, the Endeavor staff trains together for about an hour. I refer to these training sessions as being "in the lab" because I'm always trying new things with our group to see if they're safe/effective to use for our clients/athletes: new exercises, new exercise pairing, new set/rep schemes, etc.

It's exciting to me to see people make truly incredible progress. Jared, Endeavor's owner, continues to amaze me. He's getting stronger faster than anyone I've ever seen. In the last week he:

Set a personal record: Trap Bar Deadlift with 415



Then set a personal record: Trap Bar Deadlift with 425


Then set a personal record: Trap Bar Deadlift with 455


Then set a personal record: Trap Bar Deadlift with 475



If you watch the videos, you'll quickly realize that he'll be pulling well over 500 within another week or two. Not bad for someone that suffered from low back pain before starting to train with me!

Deadlifting being bad for your back is COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS!

I'll save that rant for another day, but you should know that learning proper deadlifting technique and strengthening that movement will actually MINIMIZE your risk of low back pain and that sitting in a chair all day is more damaging to your back than lifting!

Get strong. Stay healthy.

Whether the goal is sport-specific conditioning or fat loss, interval training almost always trumps traditional aerobic training.

It can also be more fun.

One of our tennis players recently started using this Death Fun Circuit:

3x Through
1) 90-Yard YoYo Run
2) 25-Yard Sled Drag
3) Plank Rotations: 4x/side
4) 25-Yard Walking Lunge
5) 20 second Chin-Up Hang
6) 20 second Overhead Spit Squat IsoHold (each side)

At the end of the circuit, most people stand hunched, speechless, with pulsing legs that feel strong and tight. That's Round 1. This circuit is performed AT LEAST 3x through.

Her times were:

Week 1: 4:45, 5:15, 4:27 (best time)
Week 2: 4:04, 4:40, 3:58 (new best time; a combined 1:45 improvement from last week)
Week 3: 3:53, 4:08, 3:27! (NEW BEST!; a combined 1:14 improvement from last week, and 2:59 improvement from week 1).

In two weeks her work capacity (or conditioning) has DRASTICALLY improved, and her coach noticed her progress.

Results...Results...Results

At least once a week someone will ask me what I think about Crossfit.

At the risk of upsetting the entire state of New Jersey, I'm not a big fan of Crossfit for MOST people.

Combining untrained and unsupervised lifters with complex lifting movements and telling them to do the exercises as fast as possible is exactly what I'd recommend if someone said "How can I hurt as many people as possible, quickly?".

Having said that, for people that understand how to perform all the lifts correctly and are in-tune enough to recognize technical failure, Crossfit can be an effective way to shed body fat (high volume, low weight training likely won't make you very strong unless you're a newby).

Every now and then I like to mix things up with our training programs and take a page out of the "Crossfit" book. Yesterday our Staff group did the following:

1) 100 chin-ups
2) 100 crunches
3) 100 pull throughs (with 50 lbs)
4) 500 jump ropes

No order. No set rep schemes. Just getting it all done as quickly as possible.

Give it a shot sometime. If you don't know what a pull through is then grab me sometime and I'll show you. It's a great exercise to develop the hamstrings and glutes.

Happy Holidays!

-Kevin Neeld
