"In preparation for the 2008 season – my second in professional baseball – I wanted to return to spring training in the best possible condition; my agent recommended training with Eric Cressey. I trained with Eric throughout the off-season, and I noticed dramatic improvements. Eric developed a personalized program to prepare and sustain my strength and endurance throughout the season. Eric's constant enthusiasm and extensive knowledge make him a pleasure to work with. Any professional or amateur athlete who desires take their training to a higher lever and maximize their athletic abilities would benefit greatly from working with Eric and the Cressey Performance Team."

"Since I began sending my clients to Cressey Performance, I have noticed that my pitchers are having fewer arm problems and are throwing consistently harder. My hitters have shown better balance and bat speed as well. They are driving the baseball better than ever before."

“My hour-long commute is testament to the incredible results I have seen thanks to the staff at Cressey Performance. Over the past year they have played an integral part in making me into a stronger, more balanced, and confident athlete. I am closer than ever to achieving my goal of being a strong, healthy powerlifter. My lifts improved by 50 lbs on my bench, 100 lbs on my squat, and 120 lbs on my deadlift.”

"Eric Cressey trains and motivates athletes to succeed. Eric's education, training, knowledge and experience are highly impressive. Eric produces results. Whether you are a professional athlete or an amateur athlete Eric can maximize your abilities so that you can compete at your level of competition. As a sports agent who represents professional athletes I highly recommend Eric.”

“Working with Tony Gentilcore at Cressey Performance was one of the best fitness investments I ever made. My shoulder (impingement), back (arthritis), and left hip (stiffness) all improved dramatically in just six weeks. In the same time span, I lost two inches off of my waist and added about 40 lbs. to my dead lift. I was thrilled and amazed by the results I achieved working with Tony. I heartily recommend him.”

“Eric Cressey practically brought me back from the dead. I started working with him over a year ago in the hope that he could help me overcome a long list of deficits, including (but not limited to) 360-degree rotator cuff tears, herniated discs, and neurological damage. I quickly found that Eric's knowledge of training and rehabilitation methods is extensive, and his confidence is contagious. Most important, he knows how to get results.
The training programs Eric has created for me are unlike any other training programs I have tried. The emphasis is on stability, mobility, and compound movements, and it all makes sense to me now. After 150+ sessions with Eric, and at age 43, I am stronger now than I have ever been in my life. With Eric's help, I am building a body to carry me through the next half century.”

“It's really a treat when you know you're working with trainers who 1) know how to train 2) are interested in educating you and 3) will make you really move and will push you to do what you never could have dreamed of. Having gone to various commercial gyms on and off over the past decade or so and invested in numerous personal training sessions, I can say that for myself, Tony and the philosophy at Cressey Performance, has given me the ability to achieve in areas of strength training and has allowed me to see results. Though I consider myself a newbie to this type of training, I am becoming more knowledgeable with each session. What I've learned in a relatively short time frame from Tony is more than what I've learned in the past several years.”

“Eric Cressey is unquestionably one of the best performance enhancement coaches in the country. Not only is Eric an accomplished world class athlete in his own right, he has a gift for improving all the athletes he spends time with. What sets Eric apart from other coaches is his ability to evaluate an athlete, find the weaknesses and correct them, often resulting in significant performance jumps. The fact that I was willing to get on a plane and spend three days with him learning where and I how I needed to improve speaks volumes for the respect I have for Eric. His deep understanding of rehab and corrective exercise program design sets him a part from other performance enhancement specialists who only focus on speed, power, and strength qualities in an athlete. I would highly recommend any motivated athlete to tap into Eric's unique talents.”

Eric Cressey and the staff at Cressey Performance are well equipped to work with self-motivated baseball players who want to take their athleticism to the next level. Eric understands baseball and communicates extraordinarily well with young student-athletes.
Cressey Performance has become an integral part of the New England Ruffnecks practice plan, and off-season workouts. As someone who has been around baseball at the major league level, I can say with certainty that Cressey gives the players in our program an opportunity that many pros did not have at the same corresponding ages. With Cressey Performance, our players are becoming stronger, faster, and leaner baseball players.

“Cressey Performance has changed my life. I am 34 and have spent years from high school football onward in and out of the gym. Unfortunately much of it was wasted on substandard training programs, inefficient exercises, and poor form. The only thing consistent in my results were muscular imbalances and frequent nagging injuries.
Within three months of seeking out Eric’s coaching, I was stronger than I had been in 10 years. My body fat dropped without a specific focus on cardio and diet. Nagging injuries disappeared. 6 months later, I am that much closer to eliminating muscular imbalances that I have spent a lifetime accumulating. Blood work results from a recent physical had my doctor asking what I was doing to achieve such stellar results. This June it will be a year since I have started working with Cressey Performance – and I fully expect to be in the best shape of my life.
“Eric has a knack for delving into an athlete’s physical background, goals, and weaknesses. He assesses, prescribes, and then coaches to success. You are required to bring motivation and a desire to work hard. His positive attitude and enthusiasm are contagious, and the results speak for themselves. Eric, Tony, Brian, and Pete are all true professionals, and together they have created an unparalleled environment for training athletes. I feel lucky to have found Cressey Performance and I consider it the best money I have ever spent on ‘the gym.’”
