“Well, after going to Riekes I can definitely tell a difference in my overall athleticism. When working out with the team, I was able to lift more weight than people similar to me and do more reps on things such as push ups and pull ups. In regards to my speed, I was not very fast when coming into the Riekes Center, but once I left I felt more comfortable as I was able to improve on all facets of my running. My explosiveness increased after lifting and running as well as my overall speed, due to all the different forms of training we did. It helped a lot, as I saw a major increase in my 40 time and long distance running. It was definitely worth every second.”
