School PE Program Testimonials

“I have been doing the SportXcel Training Program for eight months and just got my Fitnessgram scores for the year. My teachers said I had the best improvement score in the entire class. I improved my PACER run from 22 laps to 35 laps, my curl-ups from 12 to 29 and my arm-hang from 5 seconds to 10 seconds. I know I improved so much because I worked with the SportXcel program and also kept doing exercises at home like the trainers told me to do. I love SportXcel and can’t wait for them to come back to my school next year.”

“I have had the opportunity to work with SportXcel and their instructors over the past two school years. The SportXcel Youth Fitness Foundation program is unique in its ability to take a group of 60+ junior high students and keep them not only engaged, but physically active throughout the class period. I have students who typically refrain from engaging in daily classroom activities that seem to work harder whenever we conduct the SportXcel training program. ”

- Danielle Costello, Sierra Middle School, Douglas County

"As a startup school that focuses on health and wellness as a key contributing factor to academic success and self-development, SportXcel has proven itself to represent the absolute best that is out there - in terms of body knowledge, fitness assessment, and a commitment to active learning not only in a gym setting, but from a holistic world view of how schools can integrate movement throughout it's day. The Girls Athletic Leadership Schools is a proud partner."

“Every one of our 600 middle school students has participated in the SportXcel Fitness Program. I have no doubt this program has elevated the general fitness and conditioning levels of the vast majority of our kids. While we're pleased to see improvements in our Fitnessgram performance testing, it's equally exciting to see how engaged the children become in the Sportxcel routines. I sense, at times, the kids don't fully appreciate they're working out. I fully endorse the program and believe many would benefit from its expansion.”

- Warren Hanson, Cresthill Middle School, Douglas County

“As the Physical Education Coordinator for the Denver Public Schools system of 157 schools serving 75,000 children, I’m pleased to support a research-based fitness and conditioning program such as this. It is remarkable productive- the program that I witnessed provides for a percent of time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) that approaches 95%, far above other programs”
