“I fully endorse the type of performance training offered at SportXcel in Denver. SportXcel implements the same strategies I use with my strength coach with the Suns that has gotten me back on track to my All-Star level of play. I have personally worked out at SportXcel in Denver and they offer the best facility, coaching staff and performance training available. Colorado’s athletes are fortunate to have SportXcel!” 2008 - Shaquille O’Neal – NBA Player
"SportXcel's philosophy of using corrective exercises, which help you correct deficiencies as an athlete and prevent injuries down the road, is a great baseline to set any training regimen by. Their ability to use functional training to get gains off the court, which allows you to transfer more easily onto the court, is another way to become more athletic and better prepared for the longevity of the season and the competition at this level."2008 - Steve Nash – NBA Player
"I am a big believer in the programs offered by SportXcel. These are the same programs I have used to stay in peak physical condition with the Suns and I feel as good as I have at any point in my career."2008 - Grant Hill – NBA Player
