 “Luis methods of training involves more than just becoming faster, stronger, quicker, endurance and the whole nine. His training teaches you to dig deep when you feel like it's too hard. Pushing yourself because you never want the next man to outwork you. It's not easy at all and nothing in life is easy, that's how he trains. It's a great training method and very different from other training organizations. Experience his training methods for a 2 weeks and you'll see results. Also he can tell you how to take care of your body.

“If you are looking to improve your team's overall footwork, agility, and conditioning, I highly recommend Coach Velez' team training sessions! The Freedom women's basketball team participated in the training program last fall and we saw immediate results in our footwork and explosiveness. Coach Velez offers intense sessions with positive energy that motivates athletes to focus both mentally and physically. He provides coaches with a booklet of drills, so you can continue to implement the program throughout your season, and it's all reasonably priced.
