"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)


“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)


"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


“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


“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


"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


"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


“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)


“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

This is a question I get from a lot of parents.

Typically we get athletes in the off-season that make a ton of progress and enter their seasons in the best shape of their lives.  Because of their practice/game schedule, most stop training during their season only to find that their strength and speed begins to diminish and they start to feel worn down.

EVERY professional athlete trains in season. There’s a reason for that.

When you stop training, your body starts to change in several ways:

Your muscles get weaker because you aren’t creating a high intensity overload stimulus to the muscles. Note that high intensity does not mean high effort. Running, even sprinting, won’t maintain lower body strength gains achieved through smart training.

You begin to lose speed because your muscles get weaker and the quality of your movement (your running and transition technique) becomes increasingly sloppy.

You begin to develop strength imbalances because the muscles you use repetitively throughout your practices and games start to become tight and the muscles on the other sides of these joints become overstretched and/or weak. Note that his SIGNIFICANTLY increases your risk of injury.

All of the above changes lead to you having to exert MORE effort to accomplish the same movements. As the season goes on, this only gets worse. Not exactly how you want to enter the end of the season playoffs and tournaments!

Depending on your practice schedule, I recommend athletes train 1-2 times per week during the season. Keep your muscles strong, your speed high, and conditioning unparalleled.  Our customized in-season training programs will help ensure that your performance stays high without increasing your risk of overtraining (actually-your risk of overtraining will DECREASE). On top of that, our world class coaching staff is trained to recognize overtraining symptoms and adapt an athletes training program according to their energy levels.  You won’t find that anywhere else!

Be the best athlete you can be, ALL season long. Call me today at (856) 269-4148 or click here to email me so we can get you started immediately on the training program you need to perform at the highest level.

To your success,

Nothing will predict your success more than the strength of your commitment to achieving your goal. Stated in another way, your success will be determined by your refusal to accept anything else.

Whether your goal is to make a new team, dominate during a sport season, or drop some body fat and “tone” up for the Summer, ask yourself, “How bad do I want it?”

Too many people “want” something, but aren’t willing to put in the time and effort it takes to get it. These are the people that will likely have a LONG list of excuses at the tip of their tongue for why they aren’t working hard or smart enough. If they spent half as much time training as they did justifying their laziness, they’d probably get the results they want!

Of course, this is not true of everyone. A month ago we had someone commute up from Baltimore, Maryland to train with us once a week. Living in Baltimore myself, I’m fully aware of how long and laborious that commute is (in excess of 2 hours). This was an athlete that understands the sacrifice it takes to be successful.

Starting this week, another athlete will be making a nearly 2-hour commute THREE times per week to train with us. Why? He wants to prepare for tryouts. NOTHING will stop him from entering those tryouts more prepared than anyone else. Nothing.

A couple days ago I spoke with a 15 year old athlete that said he was going to get a part time job to pay for training himself if his parents couldn’t afford it. He’s ready to take his game to the next level.

I have a high level of admiration for these individuals.  We could all learn something from them.

What’s your reason for not investing in your success with our RESULTS GUARANTEED training?

Too far? Not enough time? Too much money?

The truly dedicated find ways to conquer these barriers. They don’t stumble upon success. They hunt it down and tackle it. Nothing will stop them. Learn from them. Even better. Become one of them.

We can help. Call me at (856) 269-4148 or click here to email me for information on how you can start achieving your goals today.

To your success,

Kevin Neeld

Last week, the Philadelphia Wings (the Philadelphia-based pro lacrosse team) featured an article I wrote called "The Best Exercise to Build Strong, Fast Legs".

You can check it out here: The Best Exercise to Build Strong, Fast Legs

I think most people will be surprised about "the best exercise." It's not a squat. It's not a leg press. But it does work.

P.S. With seasons wrapping up, motivated hockey players are already contacting us to schedule their off-season training sessions. I have no doubt that these are the players that will excel next season. With the right training, players can COMPLETELY re-invent themselves over a single off-season.

 Posted in Back Pain on February 17th, 2010 at 10:17 AM


With the ridiculous amount of snow we've acquired over the last couple weeks, it seems like everyone I've talked to is suffering from back pain.  Repetitive bending and twisting with a shovel full of snow will do that to you!

There's an easy way to prevent this back pain forever: Pay someone to shovel for you!
...or buy a snow blower. They're expensive, but so are days missed from work due to back pain and a life time of anti-inflammatory use.

For those of you (myself included) that did the shoveling yourself and are in pain, sore, or generally worn down, I have a solution for you:

Get a massage from the top massage therapists in the country!

My good friend Craig Bohn is the Director of the Massage Department at Hockession Athletic Club. Having been to several manual therapists all over the East Coast, and studied multiple forms of manual therapy myself, I can personally attest that Craig and the incredible therapists on his staff, are the absolute best out there.

At different times, I've gone into
Hockession Athletic Club with shoulder pain, neck pain, back pain, and knee pain and come out feeling a new man. I've also referred several people there that said they've gotten the best massage they've ever had in their lives there.

I wish they had an office at Endeavor. Until I'm able to convince them to set one up, MAKE THE TRIP! I've driven down there from Endeavor and up to there from my house in Baltimore. If they only had one facility and it was located in Boise, Idaho, I'd find a way to get there too.

You owe it to yourself to invest in your own health and well-being. You do it by working hard here at Endeavor. Now do it by treating yourself to a massage from the best massage therapists in the country.

If you have any questions about
Hockession Athletic Club or my experiences there, please do not hesitate to email me.

If you're ready to start feeling better today, send Craig an email or call him at (302) 239-6688 and schedule an appointment today!

To your health and well-being,

Kevin Neeld

P.S. Craig also has experience working with elite level body builders and boxers. Massage isn't just for people that want to relax. It's always an incredibly valuable, but under-recognized way to get an advantage for athletes and body builders!
