Athlete Testimonials
"As a division one basketball player, I can honestly say that FORCE provides the best facility and athletic enhancement specialists around. F.O.R.C.E. Performance provides a wide array of standard lifting equipment, houses a sublime 60 yards of AstroTurf that is ideal for speed and plyometric exercises. Whether they're trying to play at the professional level, in college, in high school, or develop proper workout habits, FORCE is the dream facility for aspiring athletes. In my years there, I have found the staff to be extremely knowledgeable about correct technique, rehabilitation exercises, and nutritional advice. There is no doubt that I will remain with FORCE as I continue my basketball career."

"I want to thank Frank,Lou, Mike and the whole gang at FORCE for all the wisdom and motivation you have given me over the last five years. When I reached a point where I needed to take my game to the next level, I tried it all, but FORCE is where I chose to train. I needed to get faster,FORCE made me faster. I needed to get bigger,FORCE got me there, and I needed to get stronger, and FORCE got me to realize my potential.
More importantly is that FORCE instilled in me the drive that if I wanted to play hockey at the highest level, it takes hard work in the gym. Playing in the United States Hockey league is incredibly demanding both physically and mentally. I know no matter where I am in the country, I can pick up the phone and one of the FORCE trainers will be there to help me out. It goes far beyond the four walls at FORCe and that to me is the difference.
I strongly believe that FORCE has played a vital role in achieving my goal of earning a scholarship to play hockey at the University of Michigan in 2012. I cannot thank all you enough for what you have meant to me."

"The F.O.R.C.E training program provides the ultimate workout
experience for athletes looking to perform at their highest level.
Frank and the F.O.R.C.E staff are extremely knowledgeable and
understand what it takes to create better athletes. I have had the
privilege to train with Frank throughout high school and college, and
have not met anyone who shares the same knowledge,passion and energy
toward strength and speed development, as well as the development of
the total athlete. Frank's workout sessions provide a combination
of speed, jump training, quickness drills as well as strength
training, which all helped me get ready for each lacrosse season."

"I have been training with Frank since High School and there has not been another strength coach or trainer that I have met with the same knowledge and passion for athletic training as Frank. I would not be the same person or athlete without Frank and his determination to make you a better athlete. Since the opening of FORCE I was the BIGGEST, FASTEST, and STRONGEST of my life and it paid of on the football field, where I become an ALL-League player for my junior and senior seasons. There is no doubt in my mind FORCE is the premier place to train in New Jersey."

"As a professional athlete, I know the importance of training. As a client of Frank Gianantonio, I have experienced a physical and mental transformation superior to any other program I have seen in all my years of preparing for the highest levels of competition. The physical aspect comes from the amazing personal attention Frank gives to all his athletes, as well his specific and perfected programs. The mental aspect is knowing that I have an edge on all of my competitors who have not been trained by Frank. Thank you Frank."

"I can honestly say Frank changed me as an athlete. Not only did he teach me the importance of training in the weight room, but he also helped to develop my work ethic on and off the court. He is a great friend and still a role model of mine. If you want to get to the next level Frank is the guy that can get you there. This guy knows what he is talking about, and knows how to get an individual to the highest athletic level they personally can perform at."

"In my 8 years as a student athlete, I can honestly say that Frank is the best strength coach and trainer I have ever come across. He has helped me improve my strength, speed, and agility. His knowledge of the workings of the human body is unparalleled. His program is tailored to meet the individual needs of each athlete from injury prevention, to injury rehabilitation, to nutrition just to name a few. Without Frank and the F.O.R.C.E training staff, I would not have had the individual and team success that I have enjoyed both in high school and in college."
