ahp athlete perspectives

“At AHP you get someone who is beyond a strength and conditioning coach and pitching coach.  Over the past eight years, Taylor Burns has been my mentor, coach, friend, as well as my trainer.  

I 100% believe there is no one out there who will work harder and is more dedicated to helping you improve yourself both mentally and physically.”

“When I first started at AHP I didn’t know what to expect, but from the moment I started I loved everything about the gym. Taylor and his staff were very welcoming from the first day.

There is no gym atmosphere better than AHP, there isn’t a day that we don’t get a good laugh.

The thing I like most about AHP is that every day I know the trainers are going to push me to my limits.”

“Having trained at many gyms over the years, I can say there is no gym atmosphere the same as AHP. It's somewhere you know you're going to develop not only as an athlete, but as a person.

My favourite part about AHP is the fact I know Taylor is always watching and giving me pointers. Being a multi-sport athlete, my off-season is very slim to none - so during the season I still find a way to get to AHP even if it's just for mobility, because I love being there and it helps my game on the ice and on the field immensely."

“I started training at AHP after multiple arm injuries. Taylor built me a specific rehab program and guided me step by step every single day through it for close to a year. I had a hard time mentally after the injuries, but Taylor helped me work through that. Without him, I would not be the person I am today.

The atmosphere and energy at AHP is unmatched. Taylor, Connor, and Ethan are committed to doing whatever it takes to help you reach your goals. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to train there and I wouldn’t be where I am today without the coaching staff.”

“I've been lucky enough to work with Taylor since I was in High School. His personalized workouts have helped me tremendously. Training at AHP won't always be easy, but Taylor will be there pushing you every step of the way."

UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA SOCCER 

As an MLB draft pick out of High School and a Division 1 Athlete, I can honestly say I never would have had the career I did without Taylor Burns. I started working with Taylor in 2011 when I was just fourteen. Taylor is not only an extremely insightful and effective instructor, but a great inspiration. Whether it is strength and conditioning, mental game training, or baseball skill instruction, Taylor is as good as any coach I've had.

“We have been fortunate to have thirteen athletes come through our program at Cloud County that have worked with or been coached by Taylor. These guys have been prepared not only physically but mentally and it has shown in their performance here in one of the best junior college conferences in the country. Taylor knows what college baseball in the United States is all about and he prepares his guys accordingly. A lot of people make this claim but fail to follow through with action. Taylor walks the walk and the success his players have had speaks for itself.

“Taylor Burns changed my career immediately. From the moment I started training with him I noticed his attention to detail and intelligence was unmatched by any training professional I'd ever worked with. His individualized warm-ups and workouts translated to tremendous gains on the mound. His training program helped me add velocity and gave me the strength and mobility I needed to perform for a full season and pitch deeper into games."

“AHP has done everything for me both inside and outside the gym: from helping me reach 90 mph, to helping me get exposure to get a college scholarship, to mental game talks. Taylor cares more about you as a person than just as an athlete he trains. AHP will help you reach your goals.

“AHP has been the best training environment I have ever been a part of. Taylor and his team of trainers are experienced and extremely supportive, making it easy to love AHP. It’s not only keeping me fit and prepare to excel at skiing, it’s also super fun and I have met some really awesome people. I am proud to be a part of the AHP family.”

Kendra Giesbrecht

“I’m extremely grateful I got to train under Taylor and his team at AHP this past summer. I had some unique circumstances of previous injuries and not having played in several seasons. When I first started training at AHP I wasn’t sure if my body could get back into playing shape, but I knew very early on under Taylor’s guidance I could. Not only did I get back into playing shape, I also gained strength and mobility I did not previously had. To put it simply, my body felt the best it had in 10+ years of training. The benefit of having a customized training plan is that it’s suited to each athlete’s needs and is why I was able to overcome some big challenges. I had a plan every single day that was tailor-made for me.

Aside from the physical aspect, Taylor serves as a great mentor and motivator. I continue to fall back on him for in-season advice both physical and mental. On top of that the gym atmosphere is a great mix of having a good time but being extremely dialed into our training. I loved showing up at the gym every day.

Taylor is the trainer I wish I had growing up and without a doubt, AHP is the place to be. From my experience I truly think Taylor is one of the best in the industry.”

Nick Prkusic

Professional hockey player and former Brooks Bandits Assistant Coach

“Since I started at AHP I felt comfortable. With traveling and training Taylor has been very accommodating in helping me even when I’m not in town.
I reached out to Taylor for extra help in personal training, and his attention to detail is why he is the best. He has helped me understand the importance of mobility off ice to improve on the ice.
Taylor cares about every single person that walks into the gym and is willing to go above and beyond to help them succeed.”

Dayle Ross

Hockey Player for St. Cloud NCAA D1

“From the moment I was introduced to Taylor and his coaching staff, I knew they were special. They coach me both physically and mentally to be the best version of myself. They have been instrumental in my growth as an athlete. We work hard in the gym, but we are always sharing laughs too. Taylor and the coaching staff at AHP have created a family atmosphere within the gym and I’m excited to continue my journey with them.”
